Willow Hive

Currently stored in a nuc box at the Apple Orchard Bee Yard our HOPE HIVE was one of the wild colonies removed from a barn at an Apple orchard near Jensen, MI in 2025 and is related to our FERAL HIVE from the same removal, though that hive lives at our River Bee yard.
Cider Hive

Our CIDER HIVE was our original rescue hive we got in fall of 2024. She came with a second hive, due to the beekeeper having to re-home her colonies because of anaphylactic reasons. Wanting to get started with bees for the Apple Orchard, if we didn’t have bees over wintering we would not have nucs in time for the orchard bloom, so we took on the challenge of overwintering this colony, and so happy we did. CIDER HIVE is our original first colony, and also our first transfer from a wooden box to a polystyrene HiveIQ! No honey extractions at this time.
