Honey Harvest @ Beattys

Harvesting honey from the hive is performed once, twice, and sometimes three times beginning mid-summer and into the fall. Care is given to ensure the honeybees have enough to continue raising new breed and storage for the winter months.

Teaching Our Children: Change Fear to Fascination

Most children have an aversion to honeybees and wasps/hornets. A honeybee will sting once then dies. A honeybee will only sting if it is threatened or its hive is threatened. Working with honeybees for over 30 years, I have found this to be almost always the case.

Educating children and their families about the value of the honeybee and the marvel of these creatures has been a very rewarding experience.

I have watched as these bee-wise kids, some as young as 5, excitedly expound their knowledge of honeybees to their classmates.

So, next time you and your child come across a honeybee, stop and check it out. These little creatures fly up to 30 miles a day to collect the nectar that goes into your honey and they pollinate 1/3 of all the fruit and vegetables we eat. Very cool!
