Save My Bees

The Democracy of Bees. #cmt #thedowntownfarmer #thebutcherbabe

Finally some cooler weather!

A hive with a view.

More often than not hives find a nice place high in the tree canopies. Having the proper equipment to safely navigate those tree hives is essential! Big thanks @tayjsmithh for helping put together a great package that will enable safe climbs. Here’s to more adventures and more hives saved from extermination. #beeremoval #savemybees #wesspur

Today’s removal was a very large hive and one of the absolutes sweetest I’ve ever removed for its size. #savemybees #beeremoval #dontexterminaterelocate

One of my favorite things about being a beekeeper is the excuse to buy awesome new tools. This is a fruit press but I’m using to crush and strain honeycomb
