Lots of soap left from Holidays

MADE WITH PURE MICHIGAN HONEY - GOLDEN HONEY SOAP

Our soaps are all hand made without the synthetic dyes and fragrances that are in most commercial soaps.

They are made from vegetable oils using a centuries old process called the cold batch method which retains the skin softening effects of natural glycerine.

Glycerin is a humectant, which means it draws moisture to your skin, it is a natural product of cold processed soap; however Commercial soap producers remove the glycerin and replace it with synthetic chemicals. Cold processed soap retains all of its natural glycerin.

When pure honey is added to the soaps, the honey adds a golden brown color and makes a wonderful lather.

Our Organic Honey Soaps are available in:Honey Almond Oatmeal & Lavender.

Our Beeswax Honey Soaps are available in:Beeswax & Honey in Natural, Mint, & Lucious Lime

$9.00 each bar or 3 or more bars for $8.00 each.

News from the Honey Farm

I just finished checking most of my honeybees and found many of them did not make it. Fortunately we had ordered package bees and installed them.

Click here for any article on how we install packages...

I found some nice stong colonies in one yard and will split them in May. I ordered 3 Saskatraz queens from Lappes Bee Supply for my splits. Notice how the queen is much darker than the golden yellow Italians that most people use.

"Saskatraz stock is selected + bred in Saskatchewan for honey production, wintering ability and resistance to mites and brood diseases."

GLYPHOSATE

Safe For Bees And Beekeepers?

By Ross Conrad

https://www.beeculture.com/glyphosate-2/

These findings have been supported by additional research which found that “GLY at concentrations found in agro-ecosystems as a result of standard spraying can reduce sensitivity to nectar reward and impair associative learning in honey bees.” (Herbert et.al., 2014)

News from the Vineyard

Cold winter temps in January caused a bit of damage in the vineyard - but I am still seeing good growth on these sensitive varieties.

We just planted more "Steuben" grapes. Steuben is a beautiful blue table grape that also makes very good wine.

Most of our Spring Pruning has been completed. Vines pruned and tied to the wire - a lot of wet weather this pruning season. Check out some of our pruning crew pictures...

Buffalo - Foch Wine

Last fall Mark (my son in law) along with a few of his friends picked 3 bushels of buffalo and some foch grapes. Recently his friends came over and picked up some of the wine. It was very good.

All we did was pick and crush the grapes, added wine yeast and pressed the must a week later, then 12 lbs of honey was added at that time. The wine was great with a little residual sugar left.

On a different note - unplanned things always happen!

I had a medical issue I had to deal with in the spring and some weed control did not happen, so you may see a few more weeds in the vineyard in the fall.
