Where on earth to begin with this one? Seriously…I’m sitting here wondering how to tell you about the day yesterday. We now have a new colony of bees in the TwoHoneys apiary: We call it August Boatwright, after the Queen Latifah character in the Secret Life of Bees. It is August, after all, right? And [...]

We’re sort of waiting in limbo here about removing the bees from their tree.

We’ll need to access the tree via this big field; and then, [...]

Crap. Yesterday I dropped my brand new iPhone and busted the screen. Not to worry…the wonderful folks at the Apple store replaced it right away with no questions asked.

I know you wonder what on earth I wear out there with the bees. Here it is. Cute, but hot.

I put my name out on the internet as a honeybee-swarm collector, and I’ve been getting tons of calls to remove bees from structures…like log cabins, etc. Every day someone calls about bees. I want to collect swarms, but I don’t do “cut outs.” However, this morning I got a call from our friend, Don, [...]
