🐝 HAPPY WORLD BEE DAY 🐝

Did you know...
A single honey bee makes only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in her whole life.

That means it takes the entire lifetime of 12 bees to make just ONE teaspoon. To fill a 16oz jar? That’s the work of 1,152 bees. 🍯

Mind-blowers for the hive:
• Bees have 5 eyes: 2 big ones for seeing flowers, 3 small ones for navigation
• A forager bee visits 50-100 flowers per trip, and makes ∼10 trips per day
• Bees communicate flower locations through the "waggle dance" — basically GPS, but booty-shaking style

So when you crack open that honey super, you’re holding the life’s work of thousands of tiny, fuzzy coworkers.

👇 Drop your favorite bee fact below!

Dont forgot out next meeting is Saturday, June 13th at 10 am — bring your bee brain! 🧠

🐝 Hive check-in time! 🐝

Have you added your honey supers on yet? 🍯📦

The nectar flow is picking up around Suwannee County. Tulip poplar, blackberry, and gallberry are starting to pop — which means your bees are probably out there hustling.

👇 Sound off below:
• Supers on already? How many?
• Still waiting? What are you seeing in your hives?
• First-year beekeeping? Ask your questions here — no shame in the bee game!
• Post a pic of your setup if you’re proud of it 📸

Let’s help each other time it right. Nobody wants to miss the flow or get honey-bound queens!

See you Saturday, June 13th at 10 am — bring your honey super stories with you.

What would YOU want on a Suwannee Regional Beekeeping Club shirt?
No wrong answers. If your idea gets picked, you get major bragging rights at the hive 🍯

👇 Toss your ideas in the comments:

- Sketches welcome! Even stick-figure bees count

We’ll share the top concepts at our meetup
Saturday, June 13th at 10 am — bring your creativity then too!

Check out this swarm he is walking through! 🐝
Myth: Swarms are angry.
Truth: Swarms are usually docile. They’ve got no hive to defend and bellies full of honey. Perfect time to catch them if you’re ready!

Calling all you beekeepers looking for extra supplies…

A local beekeeper here in the Valdosta area is trading his beekeeping time for a little more beach time. So, he is selling his gear. Prices are negotiable. Lenny was really nice when we stopped by to pick up extra boxes, frames and jars.
