5/26/26 – I am almost out of honey for the years, so done attending markets until this year’s harvest. The bees are doing well, after a tough winter. The crazy up and down spring temperatures have us all guessing when I will be able to start my first harvest, but this week for the first time, some of the hives are making honey in the boxes reserved for me, so hopefully it will be soon. I am excited to see the start of the 2026 season in the near future. I hope you are too!
The days (and nights) are now warm enough that I can put honey back into the hut, so I am starting to put out the 8 oz jars I have left ($6). I do have 2 or 3 glass honey bears (12.5 oz, $10), and a dozen or so of the tasting flights ($20), so if you want a bear or a flight, drop me a line and I can put them out for you to grab. Once I start harvesting I will be back at markets!
Becky’s Birds and Bees is a small apiary business harvesting and selling local honey produced by bees raised in SE Michigan. I hope you will use my web site to learn more about me, the farm and beekeeping in general. Look for information about my beekeeping philosophy and my honey at the About and Honey tabs, learn about the land I am beekeeping on at the Green Acres tab, and read stories about the happenings of the farm, and about beekeeping, at the Farm Stories tab. I sell honey from a self service stand at the farm when the weather is warm enough to keep it out. I will also sell at 3 farmers markets, Dexter, Chelsea and Whitmore Lake once I start my 2026 harvest.
Looking to buy other local produce? Here is a great resource!
If you are wondering about the ‘birds’ I also raise free range chickens and have added a handful of ducks, who are happily occupying my neighbors pond (with their permission, of course!) At this time I have enough established eggs customers to use all the eggs I am producing but occasionally a customer drops off, so if you would like to be on a waiting list, let me know.
