How do bees make bee pollen?When a honeybee arrive

How do bees make bee pollen?When a honeybee arrives at a flower, she scrapes off the powdery loose pollen from the stamen with her jaws and front legs, moistening it with a tiny amount of honey that she brought with her from the hive. The enlarged tarsal segments of her legs have a thick bristles, called pollen combs. The bee uses these combs to brush the pollen powder from her coat and legs in mid-flight. With a pressing movement of her auricle, she pushes the gathered pollen into her pollen baskets on her hind legs. When the bee's baskets are fully loaded, the microscopic golden dust has been tamped down into a single grain or granule.

Meet Parker! He has been a part of the Good Mornin

Meet Parker! He has been a part of the Good Morning Honey team since day one! He started by hanging out with his dad tending to the hives at an early age. Parker worked the extraction line when he was in his early teens and has progressed to learn the many facets of our beekeeping operation. He played an integral part of keeping our business running when covid hit and brought about so many uncertainties. Parker is perusing a career in firefighting, while still helping to run our family business. Thanks for all of your hard work Parker!

What’s the difference between creamed and liquid

What’s the difference between creamed and liquid honey?
This is one of the top questions that we get asked! All honey comes out of the hive in a liquid form and all raw honey will eventually crystallize into a harder state. Depending on what nectar the bees have collected to make the honey, determines the colour, texture and taste of the honey. A clover honey will crystallize into a soft creamy texture, a canola honey will crystallize into a harder honey. To return honey to liquid… simply warm it up! (Keep the temp under 35 degrees Celsius, so that you don’t damage the good enzymes in the honey.)

It’s our last day of honey extraction for the 20

It’s our last day of honey extraction for the 2021 season!!!!

This year was challenging. We had bad winter bee loses, worked very hard to make up our hive numbers, had lower than average honey pull because of a drought and oh ya…. a pandemic…. but we made it!

We are so proud of our team and all of their hard work.

Even though it was a tough season, we are so thankful to do what we do!

Diutinus: The technical name for winter bees that

Diutinus: The technical name for winter bees that are capable of surviving the lengthy period of dormancy in winter climates until new brood-rearing starts in the spring by storing food reserves in their fat bodies.

A normal worker or summer bee will live, on average, four to six weeks.
A queen bee will live multiple years, perhaps five or more. A substance called vitellogenin is credited with keeping the queen alive. Vitellogenin is produced in the fat bodies of bees and enhances immune function and increases lifespan. Some call it a “fountain of youth” for bees.

Even though most workers live only four to six weeks, diutinus bees survive through winter, many living six months or more. These are the bees that make colony overwintering possible. Not surprisingly, their bodies are loaded with vitellogenin!
