  • I ordered several years ago. I really enjoyed the beeswax candles. My naturopathic doctor recommends beeswax candles over everything else. Thank you.  
  • I'm glad I found your website. I have asthma and was told beeswax candles are good for the air, since I always have candles burning. They are a little more expensive, but I'm sure they are worth it. I wanted to buy locally but couldn't find much in Ohio, and you are pretty close. Thank you for all the information on your site. I can't wait to start using beeswax candles. 

  • I was reading your article on how to make wine. Great info! You make it sound so easy!! Looking forward to visiting your establishment. Very convenient, as we have family in Dryden. My husband is currently in Saudi Arabia and can sure get bored. (he is assigned for 12 months) so, he has been learning how to make beer and wine. And I have Multiple Sclerosis,antioxidants help alot. One small glass of red wine daily. Anyway, thank you so much for the info!!          Take Care, Lisa 

  • Concord Grape Pie, Preserves, EVERYTHING - If your site is all about CONCORD GRAPES and what you can make to eat using them - then I think I have found a home! My Mom (and I) canned concord grape preserves, pie filling and jelly (not so much jelly though). every August in Cincinnati when I was a kid. All I have to do is think about it & I salivate!

  • Thank you for the advice and for the personal call this morning. I just completed the order on line.  I love your candles and your web site. There is something so pure and calming about burning bees wax candles. I'm so glad there are people like you still providing these products to us in these times. I hope you and yours have a joyful holiday and that the honey crop is better next year.
    Sincerely, Linda  Dec 2012

Honey FAQ'S

 
 
Can a honeybee sting more than once?
NO - Honeybees are not aggressive by nature, and will not sting unless protecting their hive from an intruder or are unduly provoked.
Unlike the stingers in wasps, the honeybee's stinger is barbed and...
 
Why do Honeybees Swarm?

Honeybees usually swarm in the Spring.  When the colony gets too crowded and not enough room inside or perhaps the bees decide that the queen is too old and not laying enough eggs, the honeybee colony will make preparations to swarm.

Do the vines need the honeybees for pollination?
The bees that we keep at our farm have no connection to the vineyard.  The grapes do not need bees to be pollinated - they are wind pollinated.
 
What has caused the massive loss of honeybees in the last few years?

Honeybee colonies are being decimated by varroa mites. Varroa mites are a mite the size of a pin head that grows on the honeybee pupae and causes the honeybees to weaken and die.

Did Honey exist in Biblical times?

In biblical times, one of the known sweetening agents in the world was honey.

Honey was valued highly.
 
Do Bumble Bees make honey?

Yes, but only a few pounds. The bumble bee colony will average about 250 bees in the summer (honeybees about 50,000) and produce 1-2 lbs of honey (a honeybee colony will produce 50 - 250 lb). Only the queen will live over the winter.

How much honey does a honeybee produce in a year?

Although a colony of honeybees (40,000 or more in the summer) can easily produce over a hundred pounds of honey, a single honeybee produces only about a teaspoon full in her life.

And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.


And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

"A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget....As the national income grows, the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenues. Prosperity is the real way to balance our budget. By lowering tax rates, by increasing jobs and income, we can expand tax revenues and finally bring our budget into balance."
John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), September 18, 1963

Only a respect for the law makes it possible for free men to dwell together in peace and progress.... Law is the adhesive force in the cement of society, creating order out of chaos and coherence in place of anarchy.

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004

America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world.
