🐝 When the bees run out of feed🍯

Our bees were running low, so we loaded up the truck and trailer and headed down to Louisiana to pick up a serious supply of feed.

Our destination: M.A. Patout & Son, Ltd. in Jeanerette, Louisiana — a family-owned sugar operation with roots dating all the way back to 1825.

We came home with 2,340 pounds of pure, unrefined cane sugar. 😳

Yep… over a ton of sugar for the bees.

From the Louisiana sugarcane fields, to the forklift loading that massive sack, to getting it strapped down and hauled back to the farm — this was definitely more than your average trip to the feed store.

Now it’s safely stored and ready to keep our colonies fed when they need it.

Because beekeeping isn’t just about working the hives…

Sometimes, you’ve gotta move 2,340 pounds of sugar to keep the bees working. 🐝💪

Big thanks to M.A. Patout & Son, Ltd. for helping us keep the bees fed!

There’s always that ONE thing that goes wrong when you’re moving bees… 😂🐝

Last night we were moving some beehives when my buddy got out of his car and apparently forgot one tiny detail…

Put it in PARK. 😂

Next thing we know, his car is rolling across the yard and straight into a big-🫏 ditch. 🤦‍♂️😂

Thankfully, everybody was fine. His car? Well… that’s another story. 😂

Just another completely normal night of beekeeping. 🐝

🐝🦋 The downside of not storing old frames properly…

Wax moths had a FIELD DAY with these frames. 😳🤢 Once they take over, it can get pretty nasty.

I cleaned up as much as I could and found a pretty good use for all those wax moth larvae… the chickens absolutely loved them! 😂🐔

Just another day in the bee yard. 🐝🍯

W**d whacking around beehives: 10/10 for getting the job done, 0/10 according to the bees. 🐝😂

There’s a lot more that goes into a jar of honey than most people ever see. 🐝

Every frame has a journey — uncapping, extraction, clarification, and finally into the barrel before it ever makes it into a jar.

This is the process behind the honey we work so hard to bring you.

From our hives to your table. 🍯

No bees. No hive checks. Just good views and a little time to recharge.

Back to work soon. 🐝

Just witnessed the wildest kidnapping in the insect world. 😂🐝🦗

The bees aren’t the reason I’m wearing the respirator…What do you think it is? 🐝

These gloves have been with me through hundreds of hive inspections, countless stings, honey harvests, swarm calls, and long days in the Texas heat.

They’ve been stitched back together, patched with duct tape more times than I can count, and somehow kept going. But today they’re officially retired.

It’s funny how a beat-up pair of gloves can tell the story of the work that went into building a beekeeping business. Every rip, stain, and patch came from time spent with the bees.

Thanks for your service, old friends. 🐝🧤 Time to break in a new pair.
