🐝 Currently we are engaged in the process of queen bee grafting. Larvae are placed in these blue cups with royal jelly, and in 12 days we will have virgin queen bees ready for their mating flights. 🐝

Christopher spent some time in the apiary today. The girls were MISERABLE so I didn’t get the shots I wanted. They’re not fond of chilly days. 🐝

Once again, we will have a limited number of overwintered nucs for $225. In June, we will have spring nucs available for $200 by request. This year marks our 4th year integrating high-scoring VSH stock from Cory Steven Company into our apiary. This investment has proven to strengthen our stock, and we're starting to see signs of VSH in our bees. We have multiple hives showing uncapping and recapping behavior, along with infested brood removal. Our mite washes and Harbo scoring are confirming the increase in VSH behavior. We currently have a hive that is going into its 3rd full spring without treatment headed by the same queen. The pictures below show the uncapping and recapping, bald brood and brood removal showing the VSH behavior in our bees.

Hello friends, new and old! My husband Christopher and I are beekeepers, and this is our small business.

Our bath products contain real honey. Honey is PHENOMENAL for your skin. It’s a humectant, which means it draws in and holds moisture in the skin, it’s a gentle exfoliant for that dry winter skin, it is anti inflammatory, anti microbial, and excellent for wound healing and fading scars. If you haven’t liked our page, please do so and invite your friends. Keep us in mind when you’re doing your holiday shopping! 🎄
We guarantee you’ll love your luxurious bath and your friends and family will too. We offer shower bombs for an aromatherapeutic experience if you don’t have a bathtub. I personally prefer my own products over all others and we think you’ll love them too! Thanks for reading, and please share!

I was going through my Cory Steven F1 2023 colony(2 years treatment free) Harbo score 3…these two pictures show the uncapping /recapping of both worker brood and drone brood. Just some of the VSH traits out there.
