How do you celebrate National Winnie the Pooh Day? With honey, of course. On the unique national holiday, I visited the Gretchen Bee Ranch in Seguin, Texas. Not only did I get to go honey tasting, I also learned a bit about the how we get honey from the bees.
The experienced beekeepers as known as The Gretchen’s, owners of the bee ranch, take pride in their bees and honey. They love sharing their knowledge with others so much, they even offer bee keeping classes.
From the history of bee keeping to the kind of equipment you need to be successful at keeping your bees happy, The Gretchen Bee Ranch is the place to visit. Check out the bee keeper’s manual they recommend by clicking here.
Every spring the bee ranch offers a limited number of starter bee hives, called nucleus hives. They encourage those who are purchasing bee hives to reserve your bees early as they sell out every year. (Contact the ranch for more information: Phone: (830) 305-7925, email: info@gretchenbeeranch.com)
Bee keepers can surely stock up on supplies, knowledge, and will enjoy getting to know everyone they meet at the bee ranch. And, honey lovers can purchase different honey flavors, body care products, and beeswax candles.
