Welcome - Explore my Blog

I've been keeping this blog for all of my beekeeping years and I am beginning my 19th year of beekeeping in April 2024. Now there are more than 1300 posts on this blog. Please use the search bar below to search the blog for other posts on a subject in which you are interested. You can also click on the "label" at the end of a post and all posts with that label will show up. At the very bottom of this page is a list of all the labels I've used.

Even if you find one post on the subject, I've posted a lot on basic beekeeping skills like installing bees, harvesting honey, inspecting the hive, etc. so be sure to search for more once you've found a topic of interest to you. And watch the useful videos and slide shows on the sidebar. All of them have captions. Please share posts of interest via Facebook, Pinterest, etc.

I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here.Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

The honey hourglass begins to work







Here's Ella with her honey hourglass and you can see that the filtering has begun. Hers went through quickly.







And here's Gabe with his honey hourglass - don't be fooled by his apparently badly injured finger - it's actually just paper towel and duct tape - he wanted to experiment with the many uses of duct tape!


They are expecting the honey to filter all day tomorrow. I hope by the end of tomorrow they'll have full bottom jars of honey.

(Post script: Ella's filtered quickly and Gabe's did like mine - took quite a while to go through.)

    It's great to see so many new beekeepers and that they are on the computer as well, it's a great way to share ideas and to learn from each other.
