What To Look For In 2020!

Doesn't the nighttime temp here in west Louisiana feel great!? Even the daytime temps are getting more bearable. Sadly, it's nearly October and yet we are still in the 90's in the day time. Seems kinda odd to be writing a post about spring time, but that's exactly what I'm doing. 
Although it seems distant, Springtime for a beekeeper will sneak up and catch us off guard if we're not careful. So I'm already thinking about 2020 and what we hope to accomplish on the bee farm. 2020 will be our first official year in business and our production will be very limited as we have much growing yet to do. We have had several people reach out to us about buying honey and pollen. Unfortunately we have had to turn them all down as our focus has been on growing our bee colonies. 2020 is looking like a good time to start selling a little of what the bees make, so the plan is to have small amounts of fresh local hone and pollen sometime around the end of Spring or the middle of July. 
Our primary focus for next year is actually going to be selling bees, queens, and mentoring new beekeepers. Be looking for future posts on this topic if you are interested in getting some free local education about beekeeping. 
That's all for now. Have a great weekend!
Ain't she a beaut?!
