What's the Buzz all about?
Honey bees play a crucial role in our survival due to their significant contribution to the agricultural and food industries.
Honey bees are responsible for at least 30% of our food.
That is 1 in every 3 bites.
Did You Know?
Almond crops rely heavily on honey bees for pollination. Each year commercial beekeepers transport honey bee colonies to almond orchards. The demand for almond production continues to grow as plant-based diets gain popularity.
Pollen
This is bee-u-tiful pollen. The pollen collected in the photo shows different shades and colors of pollen carried back to the colony. Pollen color indicates what flowers were visited.
Have you used real pollen in your wellness routine to boost immunity?
Our Life with Honey Bees
Since 1995 Paul & Stacy have enjoyed life with honey bees.
What started as an interest to Paul beecame his hobby - soon the hobby beecame a passion, and more of a lifestyle. He quickly earned the nickname BeeMan and formerly presented many educational children's programs under stage name "Bob The BeeKeeper".
Our then young family was known to many in our community as
"The Bee Family". Paul loves his bees!
Life as beekeepers sharing pros and cons of experiences has lead to so much more BeeYond just bees.
Bee Curious!
Whether young or old nature has many lessons if we take the time to observe it.
Encourage Young Beekeepers!
Bee Amazed!

Call a Local Beekeeper If You Have Concerns About Honey Bees
Would you recognize a SWARM?

Would you recognize a SWARM?
A "swarm" of honey bees is usually docile.
Bee Calm! Call a beekeeper! Time is important - call a beekeeper ASAP.
Swarming happens when a colony divides and a “swarm of bees” with their queen leave in search of a new home. It's a very natural occurrence. The homeless swarm may land temporarily anywhere.
Yes, anywhere! A few examples are a tree limb, bush, mailbox, patio, outdoor chair, eaves of your house, office columns, or even a car. Perhaps the first spot chosen is a temporary point while the scout bees continue searching for the new, more suited home. And, that could still bee somewhere less than perfect in man's eyes. Like your house siding, rock wall, or your office entrance. Anywhere.
(Beekeepers keep honey bee colonies in hive boxes for management. The honey bees could live anywhere with only a few requirements.)
So to help prevent a swarm from moving into a house, business, porch, column, and so on...
Once a swarm moves in a dwelling it is much harder to remove, and can be costly than to have prevented.
Swarm boxes are baited with an inviting scent that is attractive to the honey bees. These swarm boxes are very helpful and often successful when placed in the ideal areas.
We add a product called Swarm Commander and
Lemongrass Essential Oil.
When you see a swarm of honey bees
PLEASE - Don't poison by using pesticides!
And
Don't call a pest control company to exterminate them either.
Avoid pesticides!
If you don't know a beekeeper contact your nearest beekeeping club and they will put you in touch with someone.
See our other swarm photos on the "Swarm Trap" tab in the menu.
