Urban, basswood, wildflower, clover, alfalfa and buckwheat honeys available. Part of the local foods movement is the ability to track the food on your table directly to a local grower. It is our vision that this page will take that to a new level. This page will allow people to follow us beginning at the stage where our hives are mere stacks of lumber. People can then join us in the journey of ass
embly to painting and placement of the hives, installation of the bees, maintenance and observation of the hives, harvesting of the honey, bottling and packaging of the honey and the production of other bee-products. It will enable people to watch their honey being made, and in the future, allow customers to look back and see what went into their jar of honey or their tube of lip balm. It provides a new appreciation for what goes into each bottle and opportunity for conversations/answers from those making the product and tending to the bees. In addition, times will be updated for opportunities to observe us in action in the hives, and if desired, the opportunity to get hands-on with the bees. This is going to be a learning experience for all involved, as this will be our inaugural year as Langstroth beekeepers. We have a top bar hive at our home for pollination and as a hobby, leaving all of the honey that they produced for the bees to eat through winter. So, get ready to learn all you ever wanted to (and more!) about honeybees and the honey-making process.
