We are so excited, and more than anything, so incredibly thankful. ❤️🐝
To everyone who has donated, stopped by our shop, placed an online order, shared our story, or simply reached out to check on us—THANK YOU. The love and support we’ve received through this tragedy have meant more to us than you could ever know.
Yesterday, something happened that gave us a little more hope!
A beekeeper stopped by our shop and shared that he’s getting ready to retire. He wanted to know if we might be interested in purchasing his bees, hives, and equipment. He has around 30-something hives he’s looking to sell!
He’s about an hour away and has invited us to come take a look at everything. His bees are already prepared for winter, which makes this opportunity even more exciting for us.
We still need to go see everything and figure out the details, but after everything we’ve been through, it feels so good to have something positive to look forward to.
Losing 35 hives in the flood was devastating, and while nothing can replace the bees we lost, this could be an incredible opportunity to start rebuilding.
We want to take all of you along on this journey with us! From visiting this beekeeper and seeing his operation to hopefully bringing new bees home and rebuilding our apiary. 🐝❤️
We know rebuilding won’t happen overnight, but for the first time since the flood, we’re starting to feel hopeful again.
To everyone who has helped us, whether through a donation, a purchase, sharing our story, or simply offering kind words, please know how much it means to our family.
You are all part of this journey, and we can’t wait to share what happens next.
Thank you for helping us find hope in the middle of such a heartbreaking time. ❤️🐝
