My home page will bring attention to any new developments regarding my hives and honey availability.  It also provides quick and easy access to my blog, Facebook page, and RSS feed including other social connect venues.
Please feel free to connect with me.  I believe it is critical for any blog to keep open communication.  You can also receive periodic e-mail updates by signing up for my e-newsletter.  And you can get the very latest updates on what I’m doing on my Facebook page.
How I Can Help? I love to talk about bees and beekeeping and am here to help in any way possible.  My wife and I love to garden and we strive to be organic committed to green living.  We recycle anything and everything including composting kitchen waste, yard waste and anything organic.  Very little goes to road for pickup unless it’s hard recyclables such as glass or plastic or other waste that cannot be recycled.
Resources: If I cannot help you directly I will try and follow up with other resource that can assist or get you more information.

Beekeeping and a Disrupted Plant-Pollinator Relationship

Plants and insects have been evolving in unison for millions of years and have benefited from an elegant symbiotic relationship. This relationship has provided plants a willing host to convey pollen in trade for valuable high energy cocktail called nectar. Residual pollen is an added bonus protein source. A new dynamic is disrupting the alignment of this interaction. Climate change is affecting this coordinated inter species relationship by disrupting the flower blooming cycle. Plants have evolved a response to the spring warming cycle that starts the flowering process in most of the northern hemisphere.

The Maples are in Bloom

The maples are in bloom and have opened up yesterday and I am congestion and sneezing.  No sign of the basswoods blooming but still a bit early for them. The wild bees are very aggressive and Amy got stung Sunday.
