Welcome to Spring
Time for bees to make honey
Where’s the Honey ?
Bees make honey from flowers that bloom in Spring time. The flowers open their petals to invite the bees to come and pollinate them and as a reward, the bee gets to collect a tiny amount of nectar from that flower. Bees visit many flowers before they take the nectar back to the beehive - an amount that is about less than a drop. It takes lots of bees visiting about a million flowers to just make one pound of honey. March, April and May is the time when bees collect most of that nectar -Spring time. Nectar is about 70% water. Once the bees reduce the nectar to about 17%, the honey will be ready. Usually, in June, we will be able to collect the honey from the beehives and make it available for you. Make sure you are on our mailing list and we’ll let you know when the honey is ready. Honey is so good. With all the hard work they do to make the honey, you just have to taste it fresh. That unmistakable rich flavor always comes from local raw honey. Try it. Taste the difference yourself. Remember to put your name on our mailing list below to be notified when honey is available.

Pure, raw wildflower honey is a mixture of nectar and pollen from the local flowers of the area. Our honey is strained (not micro filtered) to ensure the best benefits of local, raw honey remain inside the honey. I am a local beekeeper in Suwanee, GA that collects honey and beeswax from my bees. Honey can be used for extra sweetness and texture for recipes, a flavor enhancer in tea or smoothies and as a topping for bread, cereal or anything else that needs something special. The bees also make beeswax to store the honey in the beehive. We collect a portion of that beeswax and use it in making candles, lip balm and lotion bars.
Honeybees are very important to all of us. They pollinate flowers that give us our food (fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc) - many of the foods would not even be here if it were not for the honeybee. They make honey that can be used in many ways beyond a sweetener. They create beeswax that has been used to seal or waterproof items, protect the skin or give us light. They collect resins to make propolis - a mixture that is used by the bees to give the beehive anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, but there are many studies still discovering the many benefits of what comes from honeybees.
All of us can help to make sure these creatures stay around.

- Plant bee friendly wildflowers, shrubs and trees. We can all use something that looks pretty, smells great and give us some shade.
- Use pollinator friendly pesticides in the late evenings when the bees have returned to their homes.
- If you have a yard or land with clover or goldenrod, consider not spraying for weeds and mow less often. Give the bees a chance to collect some of that precious nectar. It provides variety in their diet and helps them to save some food for winter.
- Support a beekeeper. Buy honey and other products from a local beekeeper. They are helping to increase and preserve the honeybee population.
- Provide space to a beekeeper. Maybe you have land somewhere that could benefit from beehives.
- Become a beekeeper. Just one hive can make a difference and the difference can be you. You may even want to get more.
