I enjoy checking on the bees at Kakadoodle. The animals are friendly with the goats and the dogs resting together, and the chickens getting dangerously curious about a field mower! This is where chicken nuggets come from! The bees are doing great and Kakadoodle has honey for sale that is being produced on their property! Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!

Honey sauce. I feel dirty just posting this. Ingredients are listed in order of percentage, first ingredient is most prominent. I guess I have become a honey connoisseur. We are often asked what is in our honey, and I am proud to say “absolutely nothing is added”. Our honey is as pure and untouched as the day the bees made it!

Just when you thought nothing could make our honey any sweeter, the strawberries come in! Come visit our friends at Stoub Family Farms, 9220 W Offner Road in Peotone, get the freshest strawberries around (right from the plant) and a jar of our farm fresh honey!!! Hurry in, the strawberries go fast!

Let's kick off the summer markets right! Come over to Peotone this Thursday and visit with the Bee Life crew! We have fresh honey that is right from our neighborhood!

In the spring, keepers need to feed their bees until the flowers start to bloom. There is a plastic 2 gallon feeder in the brood box that is filled with a syrup that keeps them going. These little over-achieving ladies have filled it with something much better than syrup! And my beekeeping friends will quickly point out that this box went too long before we put the honey super on, I get it!

Did a bit of bee yard mowing. Bees and the grass are looking good!

Wishing everyone a very happy Mothers Day! Can you see the mother amongst all of her daughters?

There are bees in the trees! In the early summer of 2025, this colony of bees moved into a tree hollow. They seem to be thriving this year, faring way better than most of their neighbors in the Langstroth hives. I am curious to see what it looks like in there, but we will never know.
