Honey!

If you haven't heard, we are now landlords. Our tenants, bees! As we've mentioned many times, we've been wanting to become urban beekeepers for a couple of years. However, there is a big learning curve and finding queen bees is not always easy.

Step in Wade and Marie Johnston. Marie works with Curt and happend to mention that her husband, Wade, was a beekeeper. Better yet, he was looking for a place to put a couple of bee hives! Well, we didn't hesitate, we told them we'd be happy to help.

While we were waiting for the hives, we created Therabee Honey with the intent to infuse the honey we'll help harvest with various flavors. "Therabee Honey, for whatever ails you". Get it? Therabee...Therapy... Yeah, same thing, but different.

Anyway - the bees are gentle and the buzzing sound around the property is amazing. They love the rosemary, rose geranium, lavender and lemon verbena we have growing. Hense, where we got the idea for the different flavors of honey - we're taking our cue from the bees themselves.

And look how we'll be using our wine corks! The corks allow the bees to land and drink water without drowning. We're wondering if we leave a little cabernet in the corks if we'll get a cab honey. Just kidding!

Wade will be harvesting the honey come spring, in the meantime, we'll be learning all about beekeeping.

We invite you to come and check it out - but if you're allergic to bees, bring your EpiPen.
