There are moments when you just want to throw your hands up and say, “That’s it. We’re done.” And let me tell you, beekeeping has pushed us to that brink every single year.
Hurricanes? Check. Tornadoes? Yep. Small Hive Beetles? Of course. Year after year, we watched our hives wiped out in mere seconds, leaving us heartbroken. This year, we made the bold declaration—one last attempt.
The first two weeks were nerve-wracking. Every morning, we approached the hive with a mix of fear and hope. Were they still there? Were they thriving? And every morning, those resilient little workers greeted us and got busy, proving that nature—when given a chance—finds a way.
We had completely given up on catching new swarms this season. We were just grateful to have this hive growing. But then…the universe had a surprise waiting for us. Bees. Multiple locations. On OUR Mini Farm.
See the magic for yourself! Watch the video below and share in our excitement. Because if this journey has taught us anything, it’s that persistence and nature go hand in hand. 🐝
💡 Homesteading Wins Begin with One More Try 💡
The moral of the story? Don’t give up. Even when it feels like you’re running in circles, even when the obstacles seem relentless—take a breath, give yourself one more chance, and turn your hard work into a success story.
Homesteading is a journey of patience, persistence, and moments of pure magic. Whether it’s beekeeping, gardening, or raising animals, every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser.
So, write your own homesteading victory. Because if we can do it, YOU can too!
See you at the next workshop—let’s build something incredible together.
