Tattletale Honey

8:50 PM and the bees are still hard at work, taking full advantage of Alaska’s midnight sun and this incredible weather. Every minute counts during our short season, and they’re making the most of it—bringing in as much nectar and pollen as they can while the conditions are perfect.

Nature never stops amazing me. 🐝☀️🍯

I broke out the Ouija board and asked the spirits for few things…

🌞 Warm sunshine.
🌼 Blooming flowers.
🐝 Strong nectar flows.
🍯 Heavy honey supers.

If there are any beekeeping spirits listening, we’re calling in a stretch of beautiful weather—not just for me, but for every local beekeeper. Here’s hoping the forecast changes, the bees can finally get to work, and this season turns around.

Come on, Mother Nature… the bees are ready. 🐝☀️

One of the things we’re most proud of is seeing Tattletale Honey become part of something people love. 🍯🍦

For quite some time now, Big Dipper Homemade Ice Cream has been using our locally harvested honey in their incredible Fireweed & Honey ice cream. It’s an honor to have our honey featured in a flavor that celebrates the best of Alaska.

Thank you to the team at Big Dipper Ice Cream for supporting local beekeepers and local ingredients. If you haven’t tried their Fireweed & Honey ice cream yet, you’re missing out on a true taste of Alaska!

Talk about a 'witch's finger'! 🧙‍♀️🐝 My bees decided to take queen cell construction a little too literally, building this absolutely massive structure right on the frame edge. Honeybees never cease to amaze me with their incredible architecture. 🤯👑🔍

Beekeeping Fact: While normal queen cells resemble peanut shells, bees sometimes extend them into these dramatic shapes when they have extra vertical space.

Ever wonder what a busy day at the hive looks like? These ladies are working overtime to bring in pollen and nectar. It's amazing how much they accomplish through teamwork!

“People often ask why I keep bees. This is why. Not just for the honey, but for moments like this. A perfect heart built by thousands of tiny workers, protecting the next generation. It’s a reminder that the sweetest things in life are created through teamwork, purpose, and a little bit of love.” ❤️🐝🍯
