Ever wonder about the shape of our beehive votives? They’re modeled after this kind of “skep” used for hundreds of year prior to the introduction of the more adaptable hives we have now. Here’s a little history of the skep for those interested: honeybeesuite.com/wednesday-word…

Happy Monday, all! A quick note: starting this week, we’ll be updating candle stock on Fridays. We’ve caught up with back orders from the early rush and will now shift to making candles during the week for regular restock. Thank you for your patience as we get logistics sorted!

Good morning from the first snow that’s stuck! Also, meet Night Snow (née Night Ghost), whose name apparently changes seasonally.

Going through orders tonight I'm struck by how many of you are coming back to order again. Thank you. It means a lot that you appreciate our wares enough to come back for more. 💞 Photo of Tuesday's sunset just because. P.S. I promise more candles are forthcoming.

Nights are for date night packing parties with @LadyHollowTree. Thank you all. Shirts and candles are on their way. Mugs are still slated for December.

I’m excited about this! I haven’t had time to make bread in a long while. This may be the incentive I need to make the time!

I'm working on an early Christmas present for you—a European bread guide! It will be out in a couple of weeks. I've been having fun testing and perfecting recipes. There will be six breads from six different countries and they'll span every occasion: breakfast to dessert! 🍞

The tags on the honey and the shirt I bought were too pretty to throw away. So I didn't. I made a magnetic bookmark. You can just do things. @OldHollowTree @LadyHollowTree

We have high winds today and the power went out. So we’re melting beeswax for candle orders the old fashioned way. 🫡

You know, now that I’m looking at our hive colors next to all this wool, I’m wondering if we should make… Ah, forget it. It’s too crazy.

My little girl is making quilt boxes for the bees with raw wool from a nearby shepherd. I like how happy the box looks.

Fun story about this unicorn. My mom made it for ME about 35 years ago. It’s been sitting high on a shelf in a closet since but made its way out here from CO this fall for a unicorn-loving Little Tree. She’s made it her own with a fresh coat of paint & new horn (w/ gold leaf 🤷🏼‍♀️).

Halloween prep chaos.

On Sundays I try to give paid subscribers to the Substack some kind of preview or behind-the-scenes look at what we're doing with the bees. This week we discuss what it means to be a honey company that has sold out of honey and what secrets we're plotting!

Wyeth is one of my favorite artists but I somehow didn’t know the setting for his (most) famous painting. I see a road trip in our future! Thank you @badbake_offgrid for this amazing photo shoot!

More photos around the grounds. Also the answer to my original question I posed if you didn't already know!
