Our beekeeping journey at The Honey Merchants started about 5 years ago when the kids and I were eating lunch on our back deck. Charlie, our youngest son, went pale and silent tears started running down his sweet little face. Of course we comforted him and asked what was wrong. He was panicking because he thought there was a wasp on the table! It was a fly but, nonetheless he was truly afraid. That was a real fear for him. As a parent, I decided that day that we are going to work together and teach him there is nothing to be afraid of…. they’re just bugs. So, we decided to get honey bees. I took a course through ABC bees, and ordered our first little bee hive. That year we started with 2 hives (that’s 20,000 bees on day 1!)
