Bee Keeping

Raising bee’s in an art! It’s not only good for the preservation of this art form to have a beehive, but also benefits the ecology and the plight of the Honey Bee today.  In the summer of 2009 I became a trained Apiarian. That summer I cared for two beehives just off the Hudson River in Hudson, New York.  I would love to raise Honey Bee’s for any one who has a good size yard on Fire Island.  Sea Bee’s.  They are very docile creatures and in the right location would be a wonderful addition to a garden.  The honey is so worth the wait!  Contact me if you are interested.  It is a commitment, but one that has many rewards.

Receiving a Nuc for a new hive installation.

The bee's once released take flight.

Blue Berry flowers are one of many nectar giving flowers on Fire Island.
