We welcomed the newest member of our Sweet Cheeks Family, Harper Louise, on April 16. She weighed in a 6lbs 12 oz and was 21 inches long. It is hard to believe next week she will be 3 months old already! Harper’s “pet bees” chose to arrive the same day she made her appearance in this big old world, so our first weekend home was quite busy!
As you can see, she is serving as quite the mascot for Sweet Cheeks Honey already. Perfect advertising! 🙂
Our Italian bees came first, and our Russians arrived in May. We worked quickly to get hives painted and ready and get the bees out to their sites.
Our Russian bees are out at our newest site. It is up the road from a stream, has 30+ acres of wildflowers and our favorite – a melon field and veggie garden to help pollinate!
Our Italians are also doing greet, many needed additional hive bodies within 2-3 weeks of being out there. We will be purchasing some of our extracting equipment within the next month in preparation for honey in September!
