Honeybees

Honeybees were something we have been anxiously waiting to add for several years. In the summer of 2025 we were blessed to have a neighbor willing to let us split out a colony from their survivor stock to help us start our journey. Two years of reading and learning were finally put into practice. Its amazing how much more you can learn actually being in the hive and seeing first hand what you have studied.

Our goal is to have is little intervention as possible and follow the teachings of Fredor Lazutin and Leo Sharashkin. While we currently have langstroth boxes, we would like to transition layens style hives down the road.

Beeking Out!

Eleanor fell in love with bees early. She could be found resuecing them from her little swimming pool or letting them get water from her arms. She loves to hear them buzzing around and how they tickle when they land on you.

If you know Eleanor, you know that she lovers her flowers. She will spend hours watching the bees and butterflies go from flower to flower. She especially loves it when they land on her flower bathing suits. Most of all, she loves their honey!

In truth, we are not sure who was more excited to get bees this summer, us or Eleanor. We are looking forward to seeing our little beekeeper have more interactions with these amazing creatures.
