COI CAN’T BELIEVE IT WORKED!!! 🐝 🍯 🐝
The sugar trick worked perfectly!!!!!!! What an easy and inexpensive way to ensure our bees survive the winter!!!🥶 That $6 bag of sugar from Rural King was absolutely worth it!!!!!! 🙌

FISometimes the best advice is to ignore advice. 🐝
I know there are super experienced and knowledgeable apiasts out there who know way more than I do about keeping honeybees. BUT, I’ve been studying my hives, tracking their habits, and making changes based on that….and it’s led to a 100% survival rate this year. And it was insanely cold—a really tough one.
Hive inspections are often more for the keepers than the bees. Bees don’t like interference. It sets them back days when you open boxes, break comb, and disturb the tidiness and workflow. You also always kill a few bees in the process which is super sad so the more you can avoid that the better!
You can tell a lot about bee activity from observing the entrance of the hive. If they’re sick, you’ll notice. If you suspect swarm activity, you can prepare to try to catch them and make a new hive when they do—or set up pheromones in a new box to attract them there. Or… let them go! I don’t fear swarms, but allow them to happen to continue the spread of strong genetics.
Honeybees absolutely need to be treated for mites, but I use apivar strips twice per year for that which are minimally invasive.
Bees also will eat sugar but that’s not a healthy alternative to honey. Sugar syrup isn’t antimicrobial or healing. If it’s a new hive, I’ll give them a little spring syrup to help them draw out comb, but that’s the only time I do. Would you survive the winter better in bags of chips or Whole Foods? That’s how I look at it.
I’ve had better luck by listening to my bees about where they want to be in the hive. They don’t like the bottom box. They want to be in attic space that stays warm.
I truly keep bees because I find them fascinating and love the symbiosis between a group of hard working women and my garden. Honey is just a bonus, and I always leave way more than they need because I also suspect it helps insulate the hive and reduce energy waste during cold months.
What works in your garden that isn’t recommended? Gardening and beekeeping are ever evolving, so it’s important to listen to natural cues instead of always defaulting to the internet.

KAHow beekeeping may help you live longer //
1. Frequency - exposure to the frequency of a healthy beehive has been to reduce chronically elevated cortisol levels and is being studied as a potential treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and depression
2. Venom - bee venom has been shown to be preventative of cancer cell replication, can reduce systemic inflammation, and has been shown to protect against telomere degradation
3. Air — breathing the air inside of beehives allows the volatile organic compounds from the wax, propolis, and honey to be absorbed by the lungs, which has been shown to improve respiratory immunity and directly destroy several staph strains of bacteria including MRSA
4. Honey - honey has the potential to be a therapeutic agent against oxidative stress. Some studies have shown honey to have nootropic effects and slow cognitive decline.

BEOne of the biggest differences between conventional and natural beekeeping is foundation.
Foundation is a wax or plastic sheet stamped with a uniform cell size. It tells the bees how to build.
Natural comb does the opposite. It allows bees to determine their own cell size, drone ratios, and nest structure. The colony organizes itself according to season, brood needs, and nectar flow rather than the geometry of human equipment.
Foundation supports efficiency for honey production.�Natural comb supports the bees’ own architecture.
Understanding that distinction changes how you see the hive.

SCHow Beekeepers Identify the Queen!🤯
“To mark a queen bee, beekeepers use a careful and controlled method — because she’s the most important member of the colony.
The queen is gently placed into a small marking cage to keep her still without harm.
Once secured, a special non-toxic marker is used to place a tiny colored dot on her back.
This makes it easy to spot the Queen bee among thousands of worker bees.
The color can even indicate the year she was marked.
Small dot —
but essential for managing the entire hive.”

CLUncapping is the first step in honey extraction, where the thin wax seals bees use to preserve each cell of finished honey are removed to allow the honey to flow freely. Bees only cap a cell once the honey inside has reached the right moisture content, meaning the wax layer is also an indicator that the honey is ready to harvest. The uncapping method varies depending on scale, with commercial operations typically using heated automated scrapers while smaller beekeepers use hand tools like hot knives or rollers. Once extracted the empty comb is returned to the hive where the bees will clean the residual honey from each cell and begin refilling it, making the comb reusable across multiple harvests.

HOBananas smell like a bee attack.
Not even joking.
When a honeybee stings, it releases an alarm pheromone that signals other bees to defend the hive.
That pheromone contains the same compound found in bananas.
So when bees pick up that scent, it can trigger a defensive response.
But here’s where it gets interesting.
If the banana is opened or fully ripe, bees will still go after it.
Because now they’re also detecting sugars.
So they’re getting two signals at once:
Food… and potential danger.
This is why beekeepers avoid banana-scented products around hives.
To a bee, that smell can mean something’s wrong…
or something to eat.
Bee behavior isn’t random.
It’s layered.
If you want to understand how bees actually think and respond, follow along.

AMWatching my girls learn about bees has been one of the most special parts of this journey with @flowhive 🐝
Mila is a little less hands on as she still is a bit scared of them but Lucia is very keen! Learning that bees aren’t something to fear, but something to respect, care for & protect.
Beekeeping has opened the door to so many conversations about nature, patience & how deeply everything in our world is connected.
Educating our children about where food comes from & the role these tiny pollinators play in our ecosystem feels more important than ever.
& hearing that excitement in her voice when she watches the bees work… that’s something I’ll never take for granted.
