Red River Bees
Trash and Treasures

We saw lots of people and had great time at Trash and Treasures in Cross Plains despite searing hot temperatures.  We enjoyed talking with Bill Cody on WSM radio about bees on Friday morning.

Our honey is now on sale at Cottontown Bears and Gifts in the heart of Cross Plains. Visit their web site for hours and contact info. We'll update as we become available in more stores.

 
2010 Honey Harvest

Red River BeesWe got the 2010 season off to a good start, robbing twelve hives to gather plenty of honey to sell at Trash and Treasures in Cross Plains.  We were successful in collecting some cut comb this year so honeycomb fans will be happy - while supplies last.  We are also collecting pollen again this year.

 
Swarm Season is a Bust!

You'll never hear us complain if OUR bees don't swarm but we were surprised how few swarm calls came in this spring.  Probably related to the cool early spring.  Or maybe the bees knew it was going to flood!

We're glad to catch hanging swarms around the Cross Plains area.  If you are elsewhere in Middle Tennessee or if you have bees in your wall, check out the NABA swarm list.
