In essence, we are flower chasers: following perfumed blossoms across the landscape to help our honeybees create delicious honeys.
In New Mexico, we begin our season early on the southern Rio Grande. We then diligently follow the bloom north as it shadows the Rio Grande up into northern New Mexico. Along the way, we provide much needed pollination services. Our honeybees feast on desert wildflowers, mesquite, tamarisk, black locust, sweet clover, purple asters and sunflowers, as well as cultivated crops like alfalfa, cotton, onion, chili, melon, apple, lavender, and berries. Our varietal honeys from New Mexico are truly enchanted!
In Michigan, the abundant woods hugging Lake Superior provide ample patches of wild blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, thimbleberries, gooseberries and many delightful wildflowers. Sweet clover, golden rod and Purple Asters offer buzz stops for eager honeybees. Birch, maple, ironwood, red and white pine, oak and basswood trees offer a canopy like no other. Our Upper Peninsula honeys are Finn-tastic!
