March, 2024

Sold Out!

We hate having to post this about our Honey, although we did expect to run out in February, and that's what we did.

Assuming the weather this spring is nothing like last year (in a good way), we should have our first Honey of the season by mid-July.

​

November, 2023...

Our 15 new chicks are doing well and laying 8-10 eggs a day. But this morning there are 2 inches of snow on the ground so I suspect that they will be backing off a bit as the winter months carry on.

And after several requests, a new "Child" size apron has been added to our selection.

​

October, 2023...

Eggs, the new chicks are laying Eggs! Eggs are back on the menu!

Although the Bees rallied mid to late summer, our Honey yield is lower than hoped for having 8 productive hives. It's been such a wet harvest season, but I am thankful for what was produced.

​

September, 2023...

Yes, we still have Honey!!!  When the rains finally stopped mid-July, the Bees went to work!  We pulled 55 LB's by Old Home Day, and another 60 LB's in August.  Four more supers came off the hives this month, so the summer is looking OK.  Not the best year by far due to the incessant spring rains but we've had worse!

​

August, 2023... Artist showing at Tin Mountain Conservation Center (TMCC)!
TMCC has a Feature Artist of the Month program themed towards nature & conservation, whereby a different artist is selected to display their works of art.  We happened upon TMCC on a trip to the White Mountains, striking up a conversation with Outreach Coordinator Heather McKendry about what we do here at the 1841 Brick Farmhouse.  After viewing a few images of Linda's Spirit Doll Creations and hearing about the other things we do, Heather booked us for August!

July 2023... Finally, some Honey after a wet spring & summer!

After nearly 10 weeks of saturating rain, the Bees are finally able to fly!  Bees won't fly when it rains, and they've averaged barely two flying days per week since mid-May.  During a "normal" year with 8 hives, We should have pulled 8-10 supers of Honey by the end of June.  But with over 10 weeks of rain, only one & a half supers of Honey have been pulled; an abysmal year so far.

 Weather finally returned to normal so I'm hopeful that we'll get a bit more Honey before winter strikes!  Keep your fingers crossed!!!

has 

April-May 2023... A better winter for the Bees!

We only lost one hives this past winter as opposed to the 90% hive loss in the Winter of 2022, and we've added two more.

Fingers crossed for a warm Spring and the success of our 7 hives!

And 15 new chicks arrived in May, looking forward to eggs in the Fall!
