GoGreenfields and Honeybees at Tate’s Honey Farm (Bonus Footage: Honey Oats Granola)

The GoGreenfields Show!

On this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran made the trek to pick up their very own honey bee colony. They purchased their nuk from Tate’s Honey Farm. Tate’s is located in Spokane, WA. It is a family-owned operation that was started in 1971.

What You’ll Find at Tate’s Honey Farm

In addition to nuks, honeybee packages, and queens, Tate’s sells a wide variety of products derived from the wax and honey produced by their own bee colonies. There are small gifts, candles, soaps, and of course lots of honey!

While at the honey farm, River and Terran picked up a couple bottles of freshly extracted, raw honey so they could start getting creative with an ingredient they hope to be using much more in the near future.

First, though, they had to take some time to move the frames from the nuk to their waiting hive box. They were fortunate to have the guidance of beekeeper Donna Mills. She guided them through the process, and you get a front row seat to the whole thing.
