Question for the beekeepers out there. I'm starting a hive at the end of March and one in early April. There isn't a heavy pollen or nectar flow in my area yet. We are planning supplemental feeding starting out but I'm also thinking of adding a pollen substitute to encourage brood rearing. The supplements/feeding will stop once things are in bloom here. I've found these three, does anyone have any experience with them?

I just finished streaming the #movie #Thelma (2024) which was named the the best #InterGenerationalFilm by the #AARP during it's #MoviesForGrownUps award show that just aired last night.

#JuneSquibb who plays the lead was nominated for #BestMovieActress but lost to #DemiMoore in #Substance who won that award.

The movie is about a #Senior #Woman who gets scammed on the #Net & takes it's upon herself to get her $ back. There was a gun involved but think of it as the #Beekeeper without any killing. LOL! πŸ˜‰

It's a delightful movie which portrays the #elderly in a truthful but respectful & amusing light & also speaks to the #intergenerational #wisdom & support that #seniors can provide to the young.

Here's a link to #Wiki's webpage regarding the film: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelma_(…

I'd rate it an 8 out of 10 & just placed an order for the #DVD.

Watch it if & where you can.


Despite some intense high winds, flooding rains, snow and ice the relocated apiary seems to be doing just fine. I'll be eager to pop in on a warm weather day to check on stores but by feeling weights when lifting each of these I think they're still sufficiently stocked.

All the beekeepers around here really push for getting the hives reduced down to a single box going into winter. After such a cold season I am once again glad I stuck to my instincts and kept them 2 boxes high. The middle has 3 and I know they won't use the entirety of their stores but I can pull from there and give to the other hives if need be. I am adamantly against the regular use of sugar feeding. In an emergency, sure, but not as a management plan. Sugar can't hold a candle to the nutritional value of what they produce for themselves. I want to steward healthy, resilient bees.

I’ve been watching the #weather #radar for hours.

#Breakfast this morning was 2 slices of #toast with #thistlehoney.

#Honey is one of my #comfortfoods. It brings back so many fond memories from my childhood.

My #beekeeper grandma would give all her grandchildren a spoonful of honey first thing in the morning. I’d experience this when we holidayed with her.

(Her sons & daughters lived, at most, a hundred yards from her house - a cluster of close family.)

Except for me & my family. 1,000km!


Can anyone recommend any good, local-ish honey? This is one of those things that I see so much made locally that I feel bad buying store bought mass produced stuff πŸ˜–

Just created this new Bee & Daisy set, in golden beads with Tiger's Eye gemstones and zirconia. This set is my way to make peace with bees in a way, because they scare me, but I also find so much beauty in them and feel so greatful for their hard work in nature, making our shared world bloom.
Available now. Reply here if you have any questions or want it to be yours. ❀️🐝

Hello fellow fediverse denziens. I just deleted my #Facebook account and moved here. I didn't use #Twitter or #Instagram, so if I do weird things here that's probably why. I will, for example, use full sentences and the Oxford comma.

I live in #Portland, #Oregon with my wife and cat. I am currently trying to escape the corporate world, where I work as an #infosec professional. I am an #OSU Apprentice #Beekeeper and have two hives of #bees. And they're still alive!
