honeybee_pollen

Welcome

Did you know? Honeybees provide pollination for the majority of food that you eat? All fruits and vegetables, nuts, flowers and best of all Honey! Becoming a beekeeper is a educational, fun and exciting hobby or small business. You can produce and sell Honey, Candles, Wax, Pollen and many other items. Our club has many people who will go out of their way to help you through the processes.

Beekeeping is practiced all over the world, honey has been found in pyramids dating back thousands of years. Amazingly the honey recovered is still edible. Honey does not decompose like other foods, it just turns to a stable crystal structure waiting to be turned back to honey.

Winterbees

We will be talking about April feeding, package pickup, and hiving your package. I'm hoping to have a how to video on hiving packages.We will also be collecting cages from last years packages for return. Make sure that you only bring cages that came from Natures Nectar, you will not get credit for cages that are not from Natures Nectar. The 1st load is sold out but there is room on the 2nd load if you need to order bees. Start thinking about how you would like to be involved at the Benton County Fair and when we should have our annual picnic.
