It's been a challenging year, but in spite of the pandemic and its resulting lockdowns, our girls have been buzzy making tasty honey right here in East Charlotte. We're bottling that honey this week, and will have it available for purchase by the end of this week.

We're bottling it in 1 lb. squeeze bottles ($12 ea.) and quart jars (almost 3 lbs. of honey for $30). We're also filling 2 oz. gift bears for only $3 apiece that are just right for stocking stuffers, party favors, or just a nice way to say "thank you" to a friend or co-worker.

If you'd like any, please message us or send a text to Ed at 704-957-9627.

Ever wonder what bees do on a lazy summer evening?

Being the natural socialites they are, they like to hang out on the front porch, catching up with their friends and family. I wonder if they'd let me join them while I sip some of their golden honey?

It was a couple of months ago, the day after the freak storm that produced a tornado in Matthews, that Marianne and I observed bees visiting our hellebores. We were elated, because it's just been in the last couple of years that we've seen honeybees on our hellebores. And as a result, they have been producing a lot of seeds, and making a lot of baby hellebores.

The hellebores are located by our house, and we think the reason this has changed is because we quit having a local pest control company come out on a quarterly basis to spray the exterior of our house for bugs. We don't know if the bees stayed away because of the chemicals, or if the chemicals killed any bees who visited the hellebores, preventing return visits.
