This is our yearly share of a few things you can do to support all pollinators on this earth day.

But honestly, it feels a little flat this year. (I’m sorry, if you’re here for an uplifting message, I may not have it for you.) It’s easy to feel powerless and scared and confused and even despondent right now. I feel all those things many days. I haven’t figured out all the answers y’all. So I keep speaking up, saying it outloud, and most importantly for me, teaching my son why all of this is important. Taking him on plant walks. Bringing him into the bee yards. Pointing out the smallest creatures and their importance.

But know what else is important??? VOTE for Mother Earth. Vote for politicians that give a damn. Support companies that are truly doing their part, and not green-washing. (so..much...green washing..) Tell your elected leaders you care about our environment.

What are you doing to feel less powerless on this Earth Day!?

WE ARE HIRING! Our team is expanding once again, and we are looking for our bee experience specialist. Whats that?!

Our experience specialists are responsible for introducing guests to the wonder of honey bees. From the moment guests arrive until the end of their visit, you’ll guide them through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences — teaching bee biology, leading them into live hives, walking them through curated honey tastings and pairings, and much more!

You’ll also play a role in our retail shop, helping customers discover local and unique honeys, bee-themed gifts, and other products we love. This is a dynamic role for someone who’s passionate about pollinators, loves engaging with people, and wants to be part of a mission-driven, joyful team.

Successful guides will have a passion for honey bees and honey, some beekeeping experience, and will be comfortable and enthusiastic about teaching and public speaking. All guides will be thoroughly trained in our experience offerings, and you’ll have the chance to shadow experienced tour guides and reverse shadow tours and tastings before leading groups solo.This is a great opportunity for anyone who loves bees and wants to share their passion in the community and network with local beekeepers.

This is a part time job, and perfect for someone with a flexible schedule looking to bring in some extra cash. But there is room for growth and more hours! We are moving quickly so if you’re interested, please reach out to Toni at [email protected] for more information! We will continue the search til we find the right person. Pay starts at $25 with bonuses (plus extra in tips!)

WEEKEND OF HONEY!

Mark your calendars for two super fun and super unique honey experiences in May!

Honey Sensory: Join me on May 16th t the Honey Ranch as I lead you through 5 courses of honey paired with 5 delicious cheeses. We will start with a primer on how the brain interprets flavor to deeper your honey tasting experience, and with each course of honey you’ll learn all about how bees create a magical rainbow of honey!

Herbs + Honey: Return to the Ranch the next morning as Carla and wow you with a class on the medicinal properties of herbs and honey. During class you will make a honey herbal infusion and an electuary honey that each participant will get to take home! An electuary is made by mixing powdered medicinal herbs with honey and is a delicious way to consume beneficial herbs on a daily basis.

You can book both at link in profile!

Every month we see someone at the Honey Ranch on a tour or in a class that says “My Grandad/Great Uncle/Dad kept bees!” You can tell it’s this beautiful full circle moment of honor and remembrance. This week someone brought her parents out on a tour for their 40th wedding anniversary and she shared that her Grandad kept bees, and later sent me this photo of his book she dug out of his things and staged it next to my book.

And then I had this thought…in 20, 30, 40 years folks will be going to beekeeping classes saying “My nana/great Aunt/Mom kept bees!! And this was her bee book!” And then I cried tears of joy thinking of the legacy of the thousands of woman we have touched and taught about bees. There’s no doubt that having a woman at the helm has brought in so many more woman into the fold because representation matters. Seeing others like you doing something that you may perceive to be hard or challenging is important. Ten years ago there were far fewer women hobbyists and even fewer that held this job at the professional level. When I first started out it was intimidating and scary as there weren’t near as many women in leadership roles in clubs.

To my fellow lady beeks- thank you for doing the hard work, sticking with it, and demonstrating that beekeeping can be accessible to all. To the thousands that have allowed us to teach you about bees: thank you for trusting us. What a legacy we are leaving behind! ❤️❤️

Central Texas is desperate for rain. We are now at the highest level of drought on the scale, and we are seeing wildfires daily. The spring wildflower bloom is visibly affected. We can’t afford another poor nectar flow after the year we had last year. And of course there’s not just bees to think about..all wildlife is suffering.

Please think rainy thoughts ☔️🌧️⛈️

We’ve had an unusually slow start to spring. A few later freezes and a pathetic showing of rain means plants are a few weeks behind schedule. Here I share a few of my observations of what we are seeing in colonies in the Austin-area. How does it compare to what you are seeing in your colonies?!

Also, please do your best rain dances! Last year was one of the toughest Ive seen in over a decade, and we really are due for a good year. But the rain must come....
