Thanksgiving Honey Turkey
I'm posting this just before 9:00 AM Thanksgiving morning so absolutely NO ONE is going to cook this for today but hey, it's a good idea. Maybe you can use it for Christmas. I snagged this one from Better Homes and Gardens. Like they don't get enough web traffic. Please let them know I will accept an 'Honorable Mention' in their next publication. https://www.bhg.com/recipe/turkey/honey-roast-turkey/ Ingredients 1 12 pound fresh or frozen natural turkey 2 cups water ½ cup honey (Try with our hot pepper honey)! ¼ cup finely snipped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh sage 2 tablespoons snipped fresh...
The Rise of the Rose Hive
What is a Rose hive? Never heard of it? It is a new development in hive-management. Rose Hives are basically he same as the hives your Joe Average bee keeper uses, except instead of having two different size boxes (one for brood-rearing and one for supers), there is just one size box which can be used for either brood or honey.

As you check the box, and the brood...

Pretty cool idea once you realize you no longer need to buy paper bags or plastic wrap. Here are some vendors to check out: Bee's Wrap Abeego
Don't call an Exterminator!
Right around now (May) I get lots of people who ask how they can get rid of honey bee swarms they find on their property or in the walls of their home. You would think that with all the press in circulation right now about 'Save the Bees', people would not be turning instinctively to exterminators. Unfortunately, if you're not in the business, an exterminator is a pretty obvious choice, albeit an uninformed one. The true is that wild honey bees represent a real world savings to bee keepers. To populate a new hive with a new colony (if purchased)...
