Mornings like this one, I forget about to-do lists and ten year business plans. I forget too about pesticide kills and chemical-coated produce.
The hum of at least one healthy hive up early for their morning munchies is enough for me.

New photo of the White House bee hive
4 MayForget pork, it’s honey season at the White House and how sweet it is.
Bee hive on the White House lawn
My fiancé’s family visited D.C. this Saturday and snapped a few photos of the hive which, as you can see, is towering with 3 honey supers up top.

Wondering what’s up with the White House bee hive?
As a friend of the new official White House beekeeper, ToniBee’s got a front row seat on the most excellent beekeeping adventure occurring at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Queenless?
11 MayOne week after installing a new package, we opened up our hive and found:
- tons of honey
- 2 new combs
- some larvae
- no queen
- no new brood
- 2 supercedure cells
Methinks the queen has disappeared. We didn’t remove the supercedure cells thinking that maybe the workers are trying to raise a new one but at the end of the day we’re utter newbies. Clueless.
I’ve got an email into TJ for advice. In the meantime, the only consolation is that I tasted my first homegrown honey today and it was divine.
My lovely new topbar hive
24 Mar
Props to local woodworker, Bill H., for crafting this lovely little bee home. It’s a Kenyan Top Bar Hive with plenty of modifications designed by local bee sage, TJ.
I’ve got a lot of old men looking out for me.
