August Hive Happenings

 Bees, Bees Everywhere

 It cracks me up when they are head-first in the cells. It means they are working hard, but it still makes me chuckle when I see it.

 Checking things out

 The colors are amazing...see that gal in the middle??

 Here she is close up!  Hard at work!

 I imagine they are playing telephone in there....

 Coming in from a long, busy day.

 

The bees coming in the hive....SO much activity....

Busy Bees

Bees work hard to make honey!  

Our next batch of honey should be ready SOON!  Let us know if you would like to be first to know - we will add you to our list!

I also have lists going for creamed honey or honeycomb.

Bee Vacation

We sent two of our hives on a bee vacation.  They are visiting Pumpkinland to help with a little pollination!  This was their excitement after we let them free.

(slow motion effect so you can see their dance.)

Logo

We created way too many logos and then we couldn't decide.  SO, we asked our Facebook friends and that didn't help either!  OH MY - it was crazy!  Every logo got votes and people had great rationale for their choices.  It almost came down to eeny meeny miney mo! 

But we did it - we wanted a graphic that could be used on any of our honey products and we wanted one that was easy to see and would catch your eye.

So here it is!

Bilby Pure Raw Honey

Stay Tuned..........Coming soon:

Honey in the Comb

Nothing like the Smell of Fresh Honey

Our honey supers were full to the gills - so you either buy more or you harvest.  We opted for harvest.  We took some of our full frames and borrowed a beekeeper pal's extractor and saw the golden juices flow.  When you have a good year with the bees - it sure feels rewarding!

Stay tuned - honey will be available soon!  We are creating our logo and buying our containers to fill!

  

Uncapping the honey to let the gooey goodness flow

 Straining it well...

And there it is in all of it's glory......not sure one gets tired of seeing that golden sun come pouring out of the extractor.
