Early morning hive inspections. The ladies were so calm today. A few grabbed hold of my finger and gently licked off some honey I had on me. Super gentle, I could feel their feet grabbing hold. They don’t waste a drop!

Hello your majesty! Queen spotted and looking super healthy. We do not mark our queens, which can make them tricky to spot when they are fast moving and surrounded by their bee secret service! #beekeeping
A beehive in summer can have as many as 50,000 to 80,000 bees. A bee must collect nectar from about 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey. It requires 1,152 worker bees to gather a pound of honey. Bees fly more than once around the world to gather a pound of honey. #beefacts #beekeeping
Checking on the ladies today. If I could get these ladies to make #bitcoin instead of #honey I would. However, their honey is almost priceless to me! #bees #beekeeping #nature
GM! Work to be done in the bee yard this weekend. Can you name what this precious substance is, where it comes from, or what it’s used for? #beekeeping #quiz
