Honey Harvest 2024 So Sweet!

Leave a comment

Honey Harvest 2024 is here and it’s oh so sweet! Spooky too, boo!

The process started on Saturday with a (hot) afternoon in the bee suit pulling from Gnome Sweet Gnome and Greenie Hives.

Sunday was extraction day…photos show a full frame of capped honey and then upcapped and ready to be placed in the centrifuge. Yes, it’s all manual labor using the uncapping fork shown at the bottom of the photo.

After centrifuging, the honey is sieved to remove any wax parts that were centrifuged with the honey.

My bees and hives are treatment free and never fed sugar water so you are getting the best nature has to offer! They roam the rural, Arkansaw, WI woodlands gathering nectar, pollen and tree sap to maintain their health and keep the hive humming.

Final product is so pretty! And Halloweeny too 😉

Three jar sizes are available…photo props not included 😉 Those are my wool applique spooky night scene for Halloween…

Glass canning jars hold all the goodness for the upcoming winter season and beyond.

A teaspoon a day in hot tea, over ice cream or added to oatmeal adds a little sweetness to your day!

Available in:

10 oz/283 grams is $10 (half pint jar) and perfect to nestle into gift baskets!

22 oz/624 grams is $22 (pint jar) and gets you through to January!

45 oz/1275 grams is $45 (quart jar) and brings you into spring!

Porch pick up from my house in Sun Prairie, WI or delivery in the Durand, WI area during Halloween week. Make a drive to the Arkansaw, WI, countryside where the bees live and pick up at the end of the driveway available too. Please click the Contact button my blog and let me know which city and appointment time works for you. Thank you so much for supporting my bee buzziness!

Buzz Ya Later!

Super Bee Shirley and BBS Bees

P.S. See the bees on my Youtube channel here! This is a link to the honey frame pull from last year as I have been busy getting the honey ready for you the last few days. I’ll be posting 2024 videos in the upcoming months as the gardens shut down and I spend more time indoors. Thanks again!

Host Code has changed and has a spooky background!

Leave a comment

I have been having fun with creating my host code graphics. The October graphic is my favorite so far! I love Halloween because it was vibrant colors, spooking decorations and sweet treats. Stampin’ Up! has introduced Halloween themed papers, stamp set and a scrapbooking kit through Online Exclusives and the new Scrapbooking brochure!

Here is a photo of the Spells and Potions stamp and die bundle.

Here is a photo of the Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper that is shown in my host code graphic.

Ready to place your order for these spooking Halloween products? Make sure to check out the Halloween Memories scrapbooking kit, Halloween Memories photopolymer stamp set, Halloween Memories two tone paper in my online store by searching “Halloween” at the online store. Then use my host code Y9NCSHZ7 as directed below.

My current Host Code is Y9NCSHZ7.

Host codes gather online orders to one party, allowing the host to earn a few host rewards. The host code changes every few weeks because the party needs to “close” so that host rewards can be tallied. This is the same step that would be taken if an in-person party would be held in your home. The host code would close so that you would know how many host rewards you have to spend and then spend them (yes!) to receive fabulous products.

Use my host code and receive a free, emailed pdf idea file from me! Customers that order greater than $150 of product should not use a host code so you can spend all the host rewards yourself. Remain shopping with me, if your product order is greater than $150 and I’ll email you the free pdf idea file too.

Click on the host code graphic below if you are ready to place an order using my current host code OR CLICK ON THE APPROPRIATE GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BLOG. The host code graphic on the right side will be automatically linked to my current host code. There are 2 graphics on the right side of my blog that will zoom you to my online store: one that is linked to my host code and one that is not.

After placing your order through my online store, be watching your email in-box for the free pdf idea file from me! Thank you!
