Keeping bees is an amazing experience: enlightening, humbling, educational, and rewarding. Beekeeping supports community pollination, food supplies, and fosters bee populations outside of the commercial beekeeping industry.

In the spring of 2014, we planted about 50 English lavender plants on one terrace. Shortly after, honeybees were buzzing all over them.

For a couple of years, we wondered where they were coming from, where their home was. It was around 2016 that we decided to buy one hive and give it a try, and we absolutely loved it. The following year, we assembled one more. Our orchard bore a lot more fruit, the honey they produced was exquisite, and the wax we have been harvesting already made us quite a few candles.

As the flower gardens expand, so will the beehives' corner.
