I am very proud of the
honey
my bees make for me. In a good year, I get around one
hundred pounds per hive. I have 3 to 4 hives and I harvest 2-3
times per season, thus keeping the distinct flavors of early
summer (linden trees and blackberries), mid-summer (clover
and other summer blossoms) and late summer (purple loose strife)
separate.
Aside of the regular honey I
also make creamed honey and honey
comb.
Now comes the bad news: I don't have enough
honey to sell over the internet. If you don't live in my area, you
are best served by finding your own local beekeeper. Get in touch
with your county's beekeeper association and they will be able to
help you find a local honey source. I mostly sell my honey at a few
fairs,
mainly around Christmas.

"This
delightful and much acclaimed little book of essays about
honeybees and their beekeeper, accompanied by the author's
photographs, is a great gift for a nature-lover, gardener, or
budding entomologist and beekeeper. You will be charmed by the
author's enthusiasm and love for these most interesting insects
and lose your fright by getting to know them". This
is what one reviewer wrote about my book. It is self-published- I
am looking for a publisher.

These are beeswax ornaments made from traditional German molds. Hung in front of a light (without touching it) their translucence will give your Christmas tree magic glow.
I cannot make
enough of these to sell over the internet.
If you cannot live without them, get in touch with me anyway and
I'll see what I can do - or see me at the fairs.

I
got carried away: One summer it was so dry that I needed to
provide a water source for my bees. I ended up pouring a cement
concoction in my daughter's sandbox which turned out so pretty-
I henceforth called the thing a "Pretty Puddle" -and
made more. The birds like it too. With its inlayed bits of
glass, rocks, occasional marbles and shells it is a beautiful
addition to any flower garden.
Come see it at my fairs. Sorry, out
of stock.
