Our Honey Bees
Our Hardest Workers
Honey Bees are the heart of our farm. Though we primarily rely on them for their honey, they play a much larger role in our daily lives
Honey Bees pollinate 1 in 3 bites of food we eat and about 80% of the world's plants. The Earth's ecosystems depend on these precious pollinators to maintain their health and prosperity.
We recognize how vital Honey Bees are to everyone's health and we hope you can enjoy the fruits of their labor with us.
BEE FACTS
🐝 Queen bees can lay up to 3,000 eggs in just one day!
🐝 Queen bees lay both fertilized & unfertilized eggs. Fertilized eggs can become worker bees or new Queens, and unfertilized eggs become male drones.
🐝 The entire mood of a bee colony depends on the Queen. She controls it with a special pheromone, which unifies her bees.
🐝 The Queen doesn't have to lift a finger (or a wing). Worker bees feed her, remove her waste, and cater to her every need.
🐝 Most Queen bees live for about two years.
🐝 Queen bees aren't born, they're made! Baby Queens are fed royal jelly instead of honey or pollen, helping them develop ovaries and the ability to reproduce.
