For the New-Bee:
Is someone in your life new to beekeeping, or maybe they’ve purchased bees for Spring of 2022? There are many ways to help these New-Bee Beekeepers have a smooth and successful first year. First, Beginning Beekeeping by Tanya Phillips is a must-read for the new beekeeper. We love its detailed, yet easy to understand explanations of beekeeping principles and concepts and great pictures for visual learners. You could also book them a Private Beekeeping Lesson with one of our beekeepers. Some beginning beekeepers have difficulty with maneuvering the frames in their colonies due to propolis and cross-comb build up, help the beekeeper in your life out by getting them the Mule Grip Frame Grabber, which allows the beekeeper to get better leverage and a firmer grasp on even the most propolis-covered of frames. And, whether they know it yet or not, they will most likely be faced with hive beetles during their first year of beekeeping. Give them a jumpstart with our all natural Beetle Beegone cloth. Help them declare to everyone that they are, indeed, a keeper with our BeeWeaver mug and hats.

Book them a stay at The Loft at the Honey House for an idyllic weekend getaway overlooking BeeWeaver Honey Farm and WildFlyer Mead. Or, give the gift of knowledge with a Private Hive Tour or Private Beekeeping Lesson. While these will not resume until early spring, we are taking reservations for Spring of 2022.
