About US

When Shanon and I moved to Van Alstyne Texas in 2019, one of our goals was to give back to nature and help pollinate the world or at least Texas! Bees are so important to our food production and it is one of the few ag exemptions our property qualified for, so it was perfect! We started in May of 2019 with two bee hives that were purchased from Texas Bee Supply. From there, we expanded to 7 bee hives and we even caught a couple of swarms to add to the apiary!  

In 2022 was awesome and we collected 15 gallons from 7 hives and left plenty of honey for the bees!

In 2023 we collected 30 gallons of honey, all from "wild" or feral (FARRELL) Bees that we saved or caught locally with swarm boxes! To date we have over 20 hives from Feral bees. mostly swarming.

In the middle of August, Shanon saw a swarm of bees off our back porch heading toward our Bees yard and when I went to try to local them, I found them in a tree, all balled up. I moved them into a swarm box and mounted it to a tree - that was swarm 21 on the year! So that means we saved over 630,000 Honey Bees this year alone! 

For 2024 Its shaping up to be a great year! We spread the hives across Farrell Farms, Loving Ranch and the LaFollet Ranch and got mixed results meaning Hive size and success due to a lot of rain this year. BUT the honey is amazing, we processed a couple of boxes from two hives and wow the honey quality is amazing! We will harvest the rest of our hive by July 27th. And then move some hive to fields of Snow on the Prairie for Jalapeno Honey! More to come.

Also Note this year all honey proceeds go directly to SAVE THE BEES USA, a Non Profit!
