I have been keeping bees organically since 2003. As any gardener knows you need pollinators, honeybees and others. Our apiary is organically managed and smokeless. I am passionate about the survival of the honeybee and all our pollinators.
I have kept bees in Northern Maine and currently South Mississippi. I have experienced most of the fears and frustrations of a beekeeper. Over time and learning, my obstacles became opportunities. Using the teachings of zen, fears dissipate and become stepping stones toward peace and mindfulness. Bees are great teachers to believe in the process of nature.
We currently run over one hundred hives and have both urban and country yards. I am a queen breeder of VSH queens. Our apiary harvests honey, pollen, wax, and sells queens, bees and nucs.
I love talking with people about the bees and our experiences with the natural world that is around us. I hope to get people excited about the connections we have with these wonderful insects. Everyone needs to slow down and taste the honey.
I think it is important that everyone who wants to gets the chance to keep bees. It places one on another level with our interactions in the wild world.
