Well, this chaotic roller coaster of a spring wasn't kind to us. Between the multiple frosts and constant rain interrupting our pest control its going to be a light year. We should still be able to offer You-Picks but wont be able to offer the bushel & 1/2 bushel sizes we could with the abundance of last season.
On the bright side the amount of rain has boosted the spring nectar flow and with the clover in full bloom & 4 hives we are looking a good honey harvest potential. Stay tuned for updates on bees, apples and the new resident Robbins that have made a Red Delicious they home!

Thank you to whoever left these in the egg cartons they returned! They match our boys perfectly!!!!!!

Good thing I was home today. We had a swarm & was able to catch em. That puts us at 4 hives this season.

These Italian bees have been with us for 6 seasons. Swarming has many meanings and 1 is, they’re healthy/ need propagate the bloodline.

They're in the new home and will be moved to the bee yard in a couple days after they settle down. 🐝🐝🍯

Things are a buzz around here. 2 new hives installed last week and theyre already building honeycomb. If mother nature permits we should have the Cloverfield planted within the next week for some really good honey. 🐝

Well, mother nature's roller-coaster caused some damage to our early buds. This is an example of how to gauge cold/frost damage on buds. Even though they haven't bloomed yet we have some over achievers that have pushed out pink buds early and its looking like we lost about 30% in the early morning hours when temps hit 23Β°F. The still green younger flower buds seem to be fairly Ok. Unfortunately we wont know the extent until closer to mid-May to see if it will have any effect on our You-Picks and or variety availability.
