What we're doing...
After graduating from the Commercial Beekeeping program at KPU and working for various commercial beekeeping operations I became passionate about creating an alternative to large scale beekeeping where hundreds of honeybee colonies are kept in a field and trucked around to different nectar sources. This not only creates stress on the bees but it contributes to the growing illnesses we are finding in our colonies, illnesses that require harsh medications and antibiotics. They said it was the only way to make money, they said there was no other way! Well we've created another way! Our host-a-hive program is designed to create a more natural habitat for our little buzzing friends by spreading them out within our communities as nature intended. Be part of the solution and host-a-hive! |
What we're about...
The Honest to Goodness Farm Co. is a farm company that started as an Organic CSA (community supported agriculture) but we fell in love with the pollination side of farming. We manage 50 honeybee colonies, offering beekeeping mentorships, a host-a-hive program and livestock production. Carolyn is also the chief beekeeper for KPU and teaches basic beekeeping classes at The Honeybee Centre.
