We have this year‘s honey for sale. Raw local spring Honey from our bee yards in Powell and Oneida. One Honey is our typical amber colored honey from various wildflowers but heavy with poplar and blackberry, and the other honey is a very light colored Honey from another bee yard that typically comes from black locust nectar. The black locust Honey only comes around every few years.

We also have plain and cinnamon creamed honey. If you’ve never had creamed honey, it’s the bomb.

We have an honor system stand in front of our house now so come by anytime during daylight hours. Our address is 4928 W Beaver Creek Dr in Powell or we have in it Gordon’s Drug Store and Family Haircare in Karns.

We also carry it at Professional Environmental Consulting in Fountain City at 2904 Tazewell Pike, Suite B.

Come try it out.

I put a second deep brood box with foundation on several singles. Feeding sugar water to help them build out comb thanks to barking dog Honey/Paul Childers for helping me with the idea for the redneck pump system. This is a whole lot faster than mixing it up a 5 gallon bucket at a time.

Waxing up some deep frames. Gonna feed heavy with sugar water now that all the soups are pulled and Honey has been harvested. Gonna see if I can get my bees to draw some more comb out. I always seem to run out of drawn comb.

It’s neat to see such a distinct line where the bees switch from one nectar source to another. Here they likely show the switch from sumac to sourwood.

Shout out to Derrick with Bulwark Exterminators. It’s nice to meet some exterminators that also care about pollinators. Instead of killing bees and taking the homeowner’s money that called him, he went out of his way to find a beekeeper.
