Do Bees have GPS?

Is it even bee-lievable to think that bees have GPS? Well, ok, it isn’t technically a GPS, but they do create a mental map of their complete surroundings, using natural landmarks, fields and orchards, which is how they are able to get back to their hive. Intelligent so say the least!!

Recently our bees were on the move, relocating their hives to a new property. This was no easy task, but we are certain they are going to be very happy. In fact, next time they leave the hive, they will immediately know they have moved, and will record it as their new GPS location.

Hey, you never know when you are going to need this information lol!

ENJOY OUR 2022 HONEY!

Spring Hive-Inspection!

Uncategorized

Making our lists and checking them twice! To ensure a healthy colony, completing Spring Hive-Inspection is extremely important.

Spring Hive-inspection to-do list:

Checking the food supply
Checking the queen
Checking brood nest
Making sure that bees have enough space
Checking for parasites
Check for Disease
Cleaning the hive
Water supply

We are pleased to announce that our 5 hives are full of busy bees, working hard for their Queen’s. Our inspection doesn’t end after the to-do list, follow up from the inspection must be done until all the check lists are completed.

2022 HONEY WILL BE COMING SOON!

Summer Season, Tis the Honey Season!

News

Summer 2021 found Bee Adventurous Honey on location in downtown Canmore, AB at O’Canada Soapworks. What a fabulous opportunity to meet so many people, and sell some of our products in person.

Each weekend in August we were thrilled to enjoy the time in our Bee Adventurous Honey Mobile Hive! Can’t lie, our Mobile Hive brought joy to us all. It was the ‘queen bee’ of the season, providing our honey business with new opportunities to be on location throughout Alberta. Our Mobile Hive ‘will be bock’!

This years honey was a hit, and we can’t wait until we can do it again next year. More honey is still available to purchase on line, we just extracted the last of this years batch, and it is Ready to Enjoy! Stay tuned for more adventures.

We will ‘bee’ seeing you!
