Bee Buzz-i-ness
Spring is here, the last Georgia freeze is behind us. Orders for nucs, packages and queens were placed last fall if you are a good beekeeper and they should be making their appearances any time after 1 April now.
Feed your bees! The late freezes bit back a great number of blooms and the bees are frantic for nectar. Give them a source of clear fresh water too so they can have a drink after eating that dry pollen that is everywhere. And yes, we recommend Honey B Healthy. Storefront

Who are we?
Honey is the oldest sweetener known to man. From the bear squeeze jar on your breakfast table to the carboy of mead under the staircase, honey surpasses the billions of gallons of high fructose corn sweetener plaguing everything you eat. Honeybees are becoming an endangered species as far as bugs go these days. Varroa mites, small hive beetles, wax moths, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), Africanized invaders, insect resistant genetically modified foods (GMO), aerial spraying in farm fields, droughts and the number of dangers increases annually while bees continue to decline quickly. Here at Beeutiful Bees we try to manage bees in our care with a natural kindness like you might with your cat or dog.
Mark & Ruth Mettler are delighted to share with you the life of a beekeeper. The grumpy old bear and his honey can give you an international view of beekeepers. Ruth is from the UK and most Southerner's love to hear her speak. This also allows you to see that beekeeping is not only one of the oldest vocations, it is standardized throughout the world. We delight in sharing with you something that may be with you for the rest of your life.
