This season, I achieved my most significant harvest yet, with over 300 lbs. of honey collected. Join me as I guide you through an entire beekeeping season, from the initial spring nectar flow to the final stages of harvesting, extracting, bottling, and even processing beeswax. Beekeeping is not only an exhilarating endeavor but also a surprisingly meditative one, offering unique insights and tranquility. For your convenience, I've included chapters below, allowing you to jump directly to the highlights or parts you're most interested in. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find this journey through beekeeping as rewarding as I do!
