Poppies have given way to zinnias and the meadow is bright with black-eyed susans. The bees like the white clover best.
Our beekeeper, Brian Bailey, has a goal of setting up 20 hives around Northwest Arkansas. Our hive was thriving, so he split the colony this week. If the second hive brings up a queen of its own, he will carry it to the property of a nearby rancher. Tuesday, he hand delivered a jar of honey. And it tastes good!
When Brian checks on the hive, I often suit up with him. He is calm as ever and I try hard to be. There is something strangely therapeutic about choosing stillness while bees crowd the air around me and crawl across my mask.
If you are local to NWA, buy Brian’s honey! Reach him at 479-466-5157 or at [email protected].
Also, we currently have pork and 8-week-old rabbits for sale. Text or call Chris at 732-228-1837.
