“Nature is brutally efficient.” Cloister Honey’s Randall York shares on the unforgiving behavior of how the hive crowns a new queen.
A few fun facts Nick shared from the hives:
1) You can move a hive 2 feet or 2 miles… nothing in between because the bees won’t find their hive
2) Bees only live for a few weeks
3) The bottom 2 boxes of hive are never touched bc that’s the honey for the bees to eat and live off of. The ones above that are the ones that bee keepers take to eat or sell.
Beekeeping is fascinating and we’re so excited to share a bit about what goes into their honey with you.
