Bees!

I knew I wanted bees and I love honey. I did a lot of research and dove into a Flow hive. It is basically the same thing, except collecting honey requires no additional equipment. I purchased bee nucs from an Amish company. They rode to their new home in the back of my SUV. Long before we lived there, generations of bees came and went.

I read a ton before I got bees. In hindsight, I didn’t put them in the best place. After winter, we will be moving them. Not sorry that I bought them. I just admit that it was too soon. Our state bee inspector wrote about the ranch this year in the American Bee Journal. I was a hot mess that day from pulling weeds. She was so impressed with the native flowers we planted in the garden for our pollinators. But, that is what we do at the Red Tail Ranch.
