Isle of Bees Apiary

05/20/2026

Over the long weekend, we took a moment away from our newest family members to talk to the bees. The weather was perfect for observing the production of egg cells, larva, new bees, honey and managing hive growth overall. It’s always a treat to open the hives!

We are happily welcoming the warmer weather and busy days to come, for all aspects of the farm🐝🍯🐄🐓🐈‍⬛🌱🌻

Good morning book friends, just wanted to give a quick update on the business as it stands!

I haven’t been popping up the last few weeks cause my personal life has been super busy, and will continue to be until after the holidays. However, I will be open on my home property weekends in December (watch for posted hours)

Also, I am trying to clear some current stock (Daily Deals and Sales) before ordering a lot of new, as to not get stuck with an abundance of stock over the slower Winter months, so I apologize if I don’t have what you’re looking for, I am still navigating the supply and demand to my new business.

All this being said, I am so thankful for the continued support. And at any time someone would like something from the shop, or to use a gift certificate, (outside of pop-ups or open hours) reach out, I am flexible, and that’s the joy of having my business right at home!

Thanks again to all my Blossoming followers ♥️🌸📚
