Thank you Mick Wiser and my bee partner Warren Hedgepeth for your help this morning 🌞
Nuc Pickup
Bee Hive Stand
My handy bee helper husband devised a new hive stand for my newest client. 
This stand is alternative to two the wood cinder block creation that have been using.
Thank goodness that my Father’s Day gifts have come in handy. If you want the directions on how he put it together contact me!
Garden 2019
Here are some early photos of the garden this year. My this year is to grow things that we love to eat and herbs and flowers to feed the bees 🐝
Visit to the Bee Farm
I had the opportunity to see visit my nucs for the new season. I am starting late but, it was great to see all of these healthy bees in Howard County.
I will be checking in again soon!

I am back!
Sorry for the radio silence on the site and lack of new posts! This winter has been busy.
The weird winter weather was not good for my bees. Sadly, I lost my last hive a few weeks ago so I am in a rebuilding mode.
This seasons post may focus more on my garden and pollinator friendly activities. I will still be a sources of support for new keepers but, I will probably curtail my number of hives.
Below are some shots of the winter aftermath.
Fall Keeping
Sorry for the delay for my lack of posts. Here are some photos of my outing today!
I went to both sites in Park Heights to check on some hives for the other keepers. I found that I am at 50% of my hives made it through which isn’t so bad. Only one was invested with moths. Here are some more photos below:
I will be doing some visits as the weather cools and I will be doing some feeding. I added some entrance feeders today so that they have a chance.
Happy Fall! I will post again soon!

Home hive thriving
Hi! Here are few photos of the sunflowers 🌻 at home and photos of bees in my home hive.
Busy summer
Sorry about my lack of recent posts! I am still around and my bees 🐝 are healthy.
Above is a photo of one of my several sunflowers 🌻 in my yard. I have taken a bit of break on the blog but, my hope over the next few weeks is to post the many photos and stories that I have documented over the last few months so please stay tuned!
Best Wishes!

Preparing for New Bees
On Sunday, we got some work done. We rehabilitated and collected honey frames from hives to start again for the spring.
Above are photos of me scraping the excess propolis and honey comb. I just got 10 packages yesterday and this morning, Warren and woke up at 5 am to do the install of around 7 of the hives.
I will post more photos and my progress in the next few days.
If you want to see me in action, I will be hosting an event at Real Food Farms on Friday, May 18th at 4 pm.
