The Holistic Festival of Life and Wellness This coming Sunday – 6 December 2015 – from 10am-10pm at the Plano Centre – just east of I-75 on Spring Creek in Plano, Texas. FREE to the public!!! A GREAT opportunity to get holiday gifts (of Harmony Hollow Honey and other hive products) Information and a […] 
My daughter was given these cowgirl boots as a holiday gift approximately 6 years ago. She wears them pretty regularly while working with horses. Riding, cleaning stalls, tromping through fields and streams, and more. They have been well used, and the leather was DRY. Until yesterday, she had not treated the leather with anything (nor […] 
In 1898, this house was built in McKinney, Texas. In 1974, the movie, Benji, was released. This house was one of the homes used in the movie. You can see the exterior of the house at 3 min 58 seconds into the movie. This home is now affectionately known as “The Benji House” in McKinney. […] 
No – Not directly “beekeeping” related – however, when I perform a bee removal in a location too far from electricity – I need my generator(s) to be able to do their job. Since we are about to enter the cooler part of the year when generators are likely to be used more for other […] (Video below) These bees had a GREAT demeanor! They have been in the joist space for about 2 years according to the comb color and condition. When I found the queen – I carried the comb down off the ladder to capture her in my queen cage – however she fell off the comb on […]

This was the first of two removals today. Great bees – but too close to Laura’s cement pond 😉 Scooped the queen in probably the first handful that I grabbed from the cluster after pulling out the comb. They all moved into the box today, and will head to the bee yard (or an observation […] 
A trapout is an option for honeybee removal from a tree or structure. This short 11-minute video shows the process of a trapout that was started on 6-7-2015. Depending upon how many bees are in their colony, a trapout can take up to 6-8 weeks to complete.
I spent the first half of today with a great team of individuals that are committed to assisting Texas residents with agriculture – whether it be in the form of commercial agriculture, or backyard gardening – and all stages in between. Today my talk was about backyard beekeeping – covering subjects such as protective gear, […] 
The Dallas Texas Master Gardener program (Texas A&M University) is taking over a new (to them) property – but an old dynamite shed on the land has had honeybees in the walls of it – off and on – for the last 25-30 years. After being called out to evaluate the situation, and starting the […] |
