Peggy Garnes was our speaker at our October meeting. Her topic was "Making Money with Hive Products." She offered many ideas beyond just selling liquid honey, including varietal honey, infused honey, creamed honey, propolis tinctures, pollen, soaps, lotions, lip balms, honey sticks, candles and other things made with beeswax, and even honey candy.

The turnout was smaller than expected, but those in attendance were very engaged with her talk. Peggy is a very interesting speaker and is honest about things that work and some that don't. Everyone left with at least one or two ideas of something they might try in their own operation.

Next month's meeting is a companion talk by Ty Shelby on the subject "Marketing your Hive Products." See you then!

"They are honey bees, I swear!"

This time of year if you get a call from someone wanted you to get some bees from a tree or house, it is highly unlikely they are honeybees.

Here is a helpful guide to knowing what is and is not a honey bee.

Bumblebee, honey bee, yellow jacket, paper wasp…what’s the difference? I don’t know if this comprehensive guide to Yellow Stripey Things is entirely truthfu
