Grand's Honey Company

Grand's Honey Company Grand's Honey aka D2 & 3C's Honey Bees is a small apiary overlooking the Chesapeake Bay in Deale, MD. The bees tell us you can taste the bay in every drop.

A small-time caretaker of bees in Southern Anne Arundel County. Our bees have views of the Chesapeake Bay and allow us to harvest small batches of their honey to help provide their upkeep. Our honey is generally light amber in color and delicately sweet.

When a hive is weak, the pests move in which weakens the hive further… hopefully, it’s not too late for this one. A mini vacuum sucked up all those critters.

The dividend letters are set to go for this year along with our first batch of cutting board butter.

Tough honey year thanks to poor spring weather but we did manage to double our hive count. Perhaps the board will let me stay on another year…

The girls face many challenges but the one that drives me nuts the most is the small hive beetle. Not the most deadly, but it’s full on “whack-a-mole” with these 1/8th inch pests. ( Swiffer cleaning sheets also do a good job. )

From eggs to capped brood. The first 8-9 days in a bee’s life.

It’s our toughest honey season yet. The girls made less than a quarter of the honey we would expect.

They also made very little wax. Both are dependent on a strong flow of nectar which was seriously curtailed by the cool and wet spring and early summer.

Next year…

Bee Glue! Bees collect sap and resins from trees and create a natural glue called propolis. They use it fill cracks and line their hives. On these hot days it can be pretty hard to break the hive equipment apart.

Back before A/C we used to hang out on the front porch on hot days. Some folks still do.

How may we serve you?
