Have you ever seen an observation hive? 🤔🐝

An observation hive is a special bee hive with a window on it, so people can observe the elusive behavior of the fascinating honeybee!

If you live in Onslow County and you've seen an observation hive at a school or public gathering, there's a pretty good chance you have Butch to thank. Butch has kept an observation hive available to the Onslow County Beekeepers Association available for loan at the drop of a hat. I've borrowed it on more than one occasion for speaking engagements at local schools, and I've always been very thankful for it!

At the annual Bee Blast, the Onslow County Beekeepers Association recognized Butch for his generous contribution of the ongoing maintenance of the observation hive he has made available to us over the years.

Thank you Butch!

We recently had the opportunity to engage with Master Gardeners, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between two complementary organizations where bees require flowers for sustenance and flowers need bees for pollination.

It was meeting of great thoughts and communication with the big question, "How can we help each other"

Please message us if you would like us to speak at your event or functions.

Yesterday, we were delighted to visit Summersill Elementary School once more, sharing our knowledge of honeybees and beekeeping with 1st graders. The young students' eagerness to learn and ask questions was delightful. We are grateful for our volunteers who give their time to mentor the next generation of apiculturists. It takes a great team to make these events possible.

Please reach out to us if you would like us to speak at your event.

We recently had the pleasure of interacting with Girl Scout Troop 1911 of Jacksonville. Educating young people about bees at an early age helps them understand the importance of these insects and the role they play in our ecosystem. Our goal is to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to encourage beekeeping among the next generation. Bees are essential to our society.

Please don't hesitate to message us about speaking at your event. We love sharing our knowledge and helping with our future.

Today we celebrate the tiny pollinators that make so much of life possible 🐝

Bees are the heartbeat of the garden, and the reason so many flowers, fruits, and wild things thrive.

Plant a little something for them today. 🐝
