I have some very sad news to share. After investing in numerous new hives last year to replace bees that we lost over Winter 21-22... now Winter 22-23 took out ALL of our hives 😞 Therefore, we will not be selling honey this year.
We lost one hive to mice... the rest were because of the temperatures this winter. (Climate change affects the entire ecosystem!) We left a great deal of honey with them to get them through the winter, but because of the warm weather, they did not hibernate like they normally would and went through the leftover honey too quickly. We put out pollen patties as well, but they just weren't interested.
We aren't giving up though. We will have our swarm traps out and do any cutouts that we can and hopefully we will be ready for next season. The new bees will go back to the same land we've been using, so it will be the same amazing honey you're used to!
I'm sorry to disappoint our customers, but this is the risk of working with a small amount of bees. Please be patient with us and we will hopefully have better news next year!
