Topbar Beekeeping

I'm an urban topbar beekeeper in Albuquerque, NM. I manage hives in backyards and small organic farms within city limits. These hives are probably pollinating your veggie patches right now. Visit my website at: http://brownsdowntownbees.com/

Honey! What next?

Honey is in the air. I'm looking at about 200 + pounds of honey to be harvested within the next couple of weeks! I just have to wait until the water content is around 18% and most of the honey comb is capped so my bee's honey can be discovered and eaten in 2000 years. If I harvest too early, the honey will only last a couple months before it ferments.

I can't wait for you taste Brown's Downtown Honey!!!!! Really, it's from Albuquerque and my back yard, and probably from someone you know's back yard.


Now all I have to do is figure out the hoops I have to jump through and the permits I need to pull to sell to you. Arg. I've been dragging my feet for too long. Anyway, within a couple of weeks I'll be pushing glorious honey!!! So, keep my email on speed dial when you need a sugar fix, brownsdowntownbees@hotmail.com

    I think you might be a future beekeeper Jeri! Next time we talk, you will have a couple of hives squirreled away in your backyard. Ha
