Had fun making a couple of mini beehives! One is traditional, the other is a pencil/pen holder for my desk!

You may have just hit send too soon before they had a chance to load?

Nothing better that Missouri Ozarks Honey. I had bee’s for a while, but the USDA frowned upon them being on the same property as our kennel.

Love them! What a great gift for a beekeeper they would be.

The honey is great. We give it to our kids too because it’s great for preventing any local allergies!

As a beekeeper, this is just too cute! Although our bees decided to all swarm this past summer, I’m hoping to get more. And what’s worse, the little stingers ( :rofl:) even took all their honey with them!! Good thing I still have 4 cases! Seriously though, this is adorable. I love it!

A neighbor just a few houses up keeps bees, they put out boxes advertising ‘local honey’ all the time.

I get all kinds of wasps and hornets that are just fine with me, but unfortunately the predominant - and most territorial and aggressive - are yellow jackets. I’ve had my run in with them everywhere I’ve lived here, Dispatched with extreme prejudice.

LOVE this!!! We are also beekeepers! Where did you get the pattern for this??? Is there a place you purchased the design? I would love to make one!!!

Thanks! I designed it… made it pretty much to scale as my medium beehives.

Last year we switched to Layans hives (horizontal hives) and this year we started with two new NUCS, which we bought from a friend down the street. The hives which have been super easy on us old folk to work with. No more heavy lifting, and the bees have been really calm, even when we’ve shifted their frames to add new ones.
