The lives of honeybees are amazing!

​

​

I started as a hobbyist beekeeper over 15 years ago, with two hives. I got interested in raising bees because a friend of mine was a professional beekeeper, and he got me interested in the allure of honey and the wonders of the bee culture.

 

 Beekeeping is a challenge. The first year I lost one of my hives over the winter. Determined to do better, I purchased a new package ( a fertile Queen and a few thousand workers) and determined to do better.

 After I retired in 2016, I decided to take my beekeeping to the next level, with ten hives. Now I have 24 beehives in 5 different bee yards in Chaplin, Hampton, Mansfield and Pomfret, with over 18 retail outlets, large & small.!
