Wow!! What a year!! As 2024 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank all our family, friends and customers for their support. Let’s not forget our little healthy girls taking care of the colony to include storing all that wonderful nectar (honey as we know it). This gave us the opportunity to invest in our little side hustle with some new equipment and donate $166.00 to the McCook Lake IWL chapter in support of future projects. We added 2 new honeys to our product list – Hot Honey & Cinnamon Creamed Honey. As a whole, it was a great year.
After moving to South Dakota, we pretty much started all over with our honeybee colonies. As I look forward to 2025, my main goal is to expand and grow our bee yards. The colonies are looking strong and all were flying out the last week of December as temperatures were well above 40°F. Great sign!! This will afford us the opportunity to sell bees and NUC colonies locally grown in SD (winter hardy). Another goal will be adding comb honey to our product list. Customers keep asking for comb honey when we participate in local fairs and markets. I am not sure how I will package it but knowing me, it will be glass jars as we try to use as little plastic as possible.
With that said, we want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!! We look forward to seeing you soon at a fair/market or at our little homestead purchasing our wonderful products. Take care and Bee Kind!!
