Bees will be ready to pick up Thursday April 4th at  Ken Hays Honey and Apple Farm between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and here is the map if you need directions (http://mapq.st/YmvWyX).  I will then go to Edgewood with the bees that are for anyone that wants to pick them up in Edgewood at the Wal-Mart.  This will be on the South West Corner near where Church Street and 344 meet and I will be there from 6:30 or 7:00 until 8:00 p.m.

This will be for old time beekeepers (they can offer their expertise), new beekeepers (newbees), and anyone that wants to know more about bees. I will share my 10 years of exerience, triumphs, and disasters. My goal is to educate and entertain. It will be at the Church at 9:00 a.m. until Noon. Click on the link LDS Church for directions.

Our main goal is to provide you, our customer, the closest to right-out-of-the-hive honey giving you a fresh, pure, and uniquely different taste. Our honey is extracted usually the same day that it was taken from the bees. We do not add anything to it for flavoring. I list where each honey comes from on the label and the date it was extracted. I take great pride in the honey I provide to my customers and I want to always let my customers know when and where their honey is coming from. Our honey is then put into the containers by hand and is available for sale. Because our honey is raw, it will crystallize sooner or later. The crystallization time depends on the sugar and pollen content. (For information to liquefy your honey see our honey page.)

Other goals we have is to inform our customers about honey, its properties, and the wonderful honey bee. I hope you find the information valuable. I will continue to make improvements and suggestions are welcome so please continue to check out our site.

Other great sources for bee information are New Mexico Beekeepers Association (NMBKA) and Albuquerque Beeks.
