Beacon Bee

We are happy to be back at the Howland Center Holiday Show!!

Burr comb; honeycomb built between the hive boxes when the girls have no other space available.

Happy world bee day! This is my 17th year as a beekeeper and I am so thankful for all it has taught me, about bees, the seasons, myself and the natural world.

FYI the herbicides that Lawn Doctor and other companies use kill bees and are toxic to aquatic creatures. I have been finding clumps of dead bees in front of my hives and I am now seeing these signs on the lawns of several of my neighbors. Please reconsider.
