We are a lavender and honey farm. We are nestled in the Cumberland gap area right in the Powell Valley of Eastern Tennessee. 324 Pierce Rd Speedwell, TN 37870 providing fresh raw honey and wonderful natural skincare products.
A co-worker of mine recently returned from a business trip to Washington DC.
During her off time she explored the area and being already near the capital and knowing I was a beekeeper, she kindly got these photos of the White House hives! Even though I have seen them in articles before, it was neat to have them so personal!
Pretty awesome knowing that these honeybees are cared for by our first family!
they are such a trip! each one has their own personality. we have to that keep wanting to brood which is impossible because we don't have any roosters. they get mad and raising a fit when we kick them out of the nesting boxes. the main broody hen today when I kicked her out of the box stood on the shade patio and gave me her two cents worth! it was funny I just gave it right back to her. oh I almost forgot I got caught in the rain this morning when I went to it let them out. I had walked down and as soon as I let them out it started to really poor, I got under cover and musta been a good 15-20 minutes waiting for it to let up enough to walk back up to the house. the chickens really like to be let out in the evening about an hour or so before sundown but they can be a real pain to get back in if you don't have patience and wait for their natural time to go in on their own.
well I'm getting long winded so I'm going to sign off now. here's some pics of then and now I'm have the chickens have grown.
