Beatty's Autumn Gold Honey "It's the Secret Ingredient"

"my Honey Biscotti cookies don't taste the same without your Autumn Gold honey!! I've tried 2 local varieties and they don't do them justice!"

Capturing a Swarm

Honey Harvest

Harvesting honey from the hive is performed once, twice, and sometimes three times beginning mid-summer and into the fall. Care is given to ensure the honeybees have enough to continue raising new breed and storage for the winter months.

Teaching the New Generation

Most children have an aversion to honeybees - and wasps/hornets. A honeybee will sting once then dies. A honeybee will only sting if it is threatened or its hive is threatened. I have found this the case working with bees for over thirty years. Educating children about the value and the marvel of these creatures - to stop and watch them at work changes fear into fascination.
