"The American people will never
knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the
name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every
fragment of the socialist program, until one
day America will be a socialist nation,
without knowing how it
happened."

| Vineyard FAQ |

Can
grapevines survive very cold
weather?
Yes - But there
are a lot of variables.
Grapevines are rated
according to their hardiness. The
USDA rates growing areas from 1 to 11
with 1 being the coldest.
Most of the vines that we grow have a
hardiness rating of from 3 to
6.

container that we can ship bulk honey by
UPS. Click

The honey crop this year was
not as good as others & the honey in our
area is in somewhat short supply. We
have finished taking our crop off, have
medicated the bees, prepared them for winter
and we will leave the bees alone for a few
months.

What do honeybees do in the
winter?
Whenever the air temperature
drops below 55 degrees or so, the honeybees
start to form a ball shaped cluster inside
the beehive. The colder it gets, the
"tighter" the cluster is. Even with
zero degrees outside the temperature inside
the cluster may be 90 degrees. More.....
