Our Bees & Honey
People FREAK out when they hear we have honey bees!! They are afraid of them! Honey Bees are actually not aggresive unless you are trying to steal their honey, or swatting them. Once they sting something, they die......so it is a last resort for them. They are amazing little creatures that produce one of MY favorite treats! Please do a little research on honey bees and the honey they produce, as they are very interesting little creatures, and honey is an amazing one of a kind healthy addition to your diet! Especially if you have allergies!
Honey...Nom nom nom
We try to plant herbs and flowers strictly for our bees, we tend to let clover grow everywhere just for them. (Yes I have clover in my yard...lol)
Honey is a thick sweet liquid made by bees from flower nectar. Honey's color and flavor does not derive from the bee, but from the nectar source. In general the darker the color, the stronger the flavor. There are hundreds of different honeys, most named for the flower from which they originate. The flowers that produce the most popular honeys are clover, orange blossom and sage. Click here for a wonderful site that will tell you alot more about the health benefits of honey.

The Bees
Honeybees have long provided humans with honey and beeswax.
All honeybees are social and cooperative insects.
Bees live on stored honey and pollen all winter, and cluster into a ball to conserve warmth. Larvae are fed from the stores during this season and, by spring, the hive is swarming with a new generation of bees.
