We recently acquired some bees for the farm. Another farmer is keeping them at our place, and he comes to check on them every couple of weeks. We have about 15 hives, and on warm, sunny days we can hear them buzzing from across the field.

There is also a logging company that will start timbering the farm soon.

When they started bringing thier equipment onto the farm, they noticed the bees, and started to complain. “The bees can’t be there” “You have to move the bees” etc. This went on for a week or so. Finally John and his dad had a meeting with the loggers to discuss the bees. It came down to the fact that a bunch of loggers, grown men, were scared to death of the bees. In the end, they decided to take the road away from the bees, so the hives do not have to move! The bees win, let there be honey for all!
