🐝👑 The Birth of a Queen! This is a queen bee emerging from her specially built cell — a rare and powerful moment in the hive. Raised on royal jelly and destined to lead, she’ll soon compete to become the colony’s one and only queen. #QueenBee #Beekeeping #HiveLife #Pollinators #BeeEducation | Flow Hive

Growing Queen Cells in an Incubator! This past week we had 75 Queen Cells growing in our incubator. We do this to have new queens to grow new hives! They will be placed in their hives still in their larval phase (as seen in the video here) and will hatch to reign as new Queen of the hive. Now you know! 🐝#beekeeping #queencell #growingthebeepopulation #savethebees #apiary #floridaapiary #localhoney #rawhoney | Sweet Bee Honey Farm

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
