Keeping hive entrances clear in winter is crucial for proper ventilation, preventing moisture buildup, and allowing bees to exit during warmer days. Blocked entrances can trap excess moisture and cold air inside, leading to potential health issues or colony death. Clear entrances ensure bees have the best chance of surviving through the colder months. Use your bee brush or hive tool to carefully remove snow from the entrance! #beekeeping #mannlake #beekeepingcommunity #beekeeper #beekeepinglife

How does honey harvesting *really* work? ​ ​Jake, one of our Texas beekeepers, gave us a great explanation of how beekeepers harvest their honey. You'll notice he doesn't mention any cooking or filtering, just separating the beeswax from the honey in the final step.​ That's an important detail. Raw & unfiltered honey contains the natural nutrients, antioxidants, and pollens that the bees put inside. They're the fingerprint of each honey that makes it unique. | Local Hive Honey
