Current update on the hive that was being robbed out yesterday. I may have caught it in time. This is the activity now and after a night where the robbing bees went home, it looks like the home hive can defend themselves now. I can’t open them up yet but my fingers and toes are all crossed! #bees #beekeeping #honeybees #lovebees #bee #abejas #robbing #redlandfl | Beelightful Bee Company

How does honey harvesting *really* work? ​ ​Jake, one of our Texas beekeepers, gave us a great explanation of how beekeepers harvest their honey. You'll notice he doesn't mention any cooking or filtering, just separating the beeswax from the honey in the final step.​ That's an important detail. Raw & unfiltered honey contains the natural nutrients, antioxidants, and pollens that the bees put inside. They're the fingerprint of each honey that makes it unique. | Local Hive Honey
