Hard to believe we’re going from 80 degrees today to a high of 32 tomorrow! By tomorrow night a 67 degree drop. 😰 We got our morning orders out the door as fast as we could today, and then suited up to finish getting the bees all snug and ready for winter. Now all our ladies are up on nice level benches, we added entrance reducers and slatted racks under the colonies that still needed them, and anyone still too light was given some extra honey from the surplus we’ve been waiting to extract. Not even sure how many tons of bees and honey we’ve lifted at this point, but we’re feeling surprisingly good still 😂 Now it’s time to pull everything that’s left in the garden before the snow starts falling! ❄️ #firstfreeze #tshirtweather #cowx #coloradoweather #lovelandbees #readyforwinter #coloradobees #beekeeping #authenticheirlooms

Hoping this isn’t the last of our beautiful bounty! We’re under a frost advisory tonight, but our tomatoes are just hitting their stride. Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, we have hundreds of pounds of honey waiting to be extracted. 😂 Fingers crossed we can eke out a few more weeks of veggies and flowers, we’re not ready to say goodbye to the 2019 garden yet!🤞🍅🌶#homegrownharvest #growyourown #heirloomtomatoes #heirloompeppers #cucuzzasiciliana #tomatillos #groundcherries #pleasedontfreeze #lovelandcolorado #fallharvest

Enjoying these beautiful blooms and gorgeous fall days for as long as we have them! We have been super busy in the office and the apiaries lately, and we love seeing all these flashes of color as we run back and forth! The hardy asters, black eyed Susans, autumn joy sedum, dahlias, and snapdragons are definitely the stars this season. Every year it’s a different color scheme! 💚 #beegarden #hardyaster #blackeyedsusan #autumnjoysedum #snapdragons #dahlias #grownectarnotlawns #pollinatorparadise #lovelandcolorado

Monarch #4 emerged this morning and we managed to catch it on video. Isn’t he beautiful?! 😍 It’s so fascinating to see them move fluid from their abdomens to expand their wings. We released numbers 2 and 3 earlier today, one male and one female. This guy is waiting out the rainy night with a bouquet of flowers and a black swallowtail lady, and we’ll release them both in the morning! She was emerging just below the frame while this was going on 🤣 We have another 20 or so getting ready to pop out, and the monarch wings are starting to show through as the chrysalides turn clear. It’s so cool! Have a beautiful week, friends.

Our first Monarch is out in the world! What an honor it’s been to witness the transformation of this gorgeous lady. We can see wings starting to show through some of the other chrysalides, so it won’t be long until she has some companions for the trip south. Safe travels, you beautiful girl! 🦋🇲🇽🌺 #monarchbutterfly #lovelandmonarchs #monarchmigration #safetravels #butterflyrearing #monarchbutterflies #welovebugs

Did you know that a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope? 🦋 We learned that from our dear friend Lanna @luckygirlbrake when she brought over this beautiful butterfly house that she built from scraps. (Swipe for photos - isn’t it glorious?!) So grateful she loaned it out to contain the last batch of monarch and black swallowtail caterpillars. We just love seeing this beautiful display of future butterflies, and it’s conveniently located on the path between our office and shipping room so we get to admire it multiple times a day. 😍
We also have Lanna to thank for the delicious batch of ginger beer bubbling in the background, which deserves a whole post of its own. ✨ #monarchmagic #thebestkindoffriend #handymaam #butterflyhouse #monarchchrysalis #blackswallowtailbutterfly #monarchbutterfly #lovelandmonarchs #homemadegingerbeer #fermentationstation

Long, hot, and fun day in our backyard apiary today! It’s the season for varroa monitoring and making decisions about combining smaller colonies for winter, so we’ll be visiting these sweet girls a lot more frequently these next couple weeks. Today was clear and sunny, and our bees were so laid back that we didn’t really need the smoker (even when we were down in the brood nests). This photo is from Queen Heidi’s colony — they were our smallest colony last fall and we were worried they wouldn’t overwinter, but topped them off with extra honey and hoped for the best. All our colonies made it through last year, and this year Heidi and her bees are thriving in their new location and laying down the honey, and her daughter Heidi II (currently in Heidi’s old hive) is one of our strongest 2019 queens. We learn more every year as our apiaries grow, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to work with these amazing creatures.
Many thanks to our good friend @luckygirlbrake for helping with the heavy lifting, lending your expertise, and making all the hard tasks 100x more fun! 🐝💛🐝 #weloveourbees #coloradobees #lovelandbees #locallymatedqueens #beekeeping
