‘TIS THE SEASON
Yes, that's a picture of Sheri and me in 1977 in Paris, Illinois. I'm 17 and Sheri is 15, just kids back then. Little did we know that 41 years later we'd have 6 children and 11 grandchildren AND BE RUNNING A BEE BUSINESS.
Sheri and I love working our bee business together. They say for a husband and wife to work together you have to really be in love. This is all we do, our only source of making a living for our family and it is tough at times. Last year two large bee businesses closed and that's sad. So we always appreciate it so much when you decide to purchase your beekeeping supplies from a small, family business. Thank you!
SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING SUCH LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
NO MATTER WHAT HOLIDAY YOU CELEBRATE, WE’D LIKE TO WISH YOU A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON AND A PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
It is crazy how fast this year has flown. It seemed like only the other day it was Thanksgiving. We have been very blessed this year, have all been healthy, have grown closer to friends, family and customers.
To our customers, thank you for doing business with us, keeping us busy and fed, and supporting us by recommending us to others or mentioning us in your bee clubs, blogs, tweets, and facebook statuses. Thank you so much!
Another New YouTube Video Published Today
I've just posted a new beekeeping video on YouTube. It is amazing because I followed up on my hives after one week to see how they are responding to the winter-bee-kind feeding systems. You will be amazed, and I'll show you how to move a hive in the winter as well. Enjoy the video!

More Holiday Cooking with Honey Recipes
by Sheri Burns
I love cooking. My grandma is actually the one who taught me to cook. She was a grade school cafeteria cook, and this was back in the day when the lunches coming out of the cafeteria were really homemade. I remember begging my grandma to teach me how to make a chocolate cake when I was maybe 8 years old, and she did. There are just some foods you can not live without during the Holidays. I love mulled apple cider with honey added to it, or have you tried hot cocoa with honey stirred into it? Pumpkin pie made with honey instead of sugar is delicious. We got the most wonderful peaches from Georgia this year and here is the simplest peach pie...READ MORE
