| The Artistry of Beekeeping... We believe that beekeeping is an undertaking
of gentleness and respect for nature. For three generations, the Watkins family has been "charming bees" and
harvesting their precious gifts. We are beekeepers - meaning that we nurture and sustain our colonies. Understanding the nature
of bees and their culture is key. We offer Wildflower and
Sourwood Honey... All are pure, raw, prize-winning honeys from mostly the northwestern and coastal areas of Georgia.
Our bees gather nectar from many local botanical varieties, some indigenous only to the Southeastern United States, and home
to some of the best-tasting honey available anywhere. Just
farming, nature's way of letting you know how small we really are... When you
start out with a little vegetable garden an a few beehives then you see all the fasinating fruits, veggies and activities
that go on in and around the farm. Next thing you know there are chickens, ducks, big ole turkeys, grape vines, and
all manner of fruit trees. Then the grandkids come over and they cannot comprehend that, "chickens lay eggs?" We're Passing on Our Knowledge to a New Generation... Our observation
beehive piques interest in young and old alike, and we enjoy sharing it at expositions, school assemblies and other educational
gatherings. As we show others what we know, we keep learning too, through our membership in the Beekeeping Institute and the
Georgia Beekeepers Association. We attend many events to stay informed and up to date on the latest techniques for producing
the fine products we offer today. All of Our Honey
Processing Conforms to U.S.D.A. Specifications... We take great care to preserve the purity and clarity of each
harvest our bees produce. Our honey is laboratory-analyzed and pollens identified so we can be sure of the source blossom. |
