Our Beekeeping Journey
Hello! I'm Kathryn McCracken, a beekeeper's wife who is passionate about the fascinating world of honeybees. My beekeeping journey began when I married my husband, a dedicated beekeeper whose love for bees is infectious. Together, we've embraced the art and science of beekeeping, learning, and growing with our buzzing companions.
Living
amidst our hives, I've come to appreciate bees' incredible role in our
ecosystem. From the meticulous process of honey production to the vital task of
pollination, every aspect of beekeeping has deepened my respect for these
industrious insects.
When not tending to the bees or helping with the harvest, I enjoy sharing our beekeeping adventures, tips, and insights with others. Through this platform, I aim to educate and inspire fellow bee enthusiasts and those curious about the wonders of beekeeping.
Join us as I explore the sweet and sometimes challenging world of beekeeping, one hive at a time!

Leather and woodworkers benefit greatly from using beeswax to protect and beautify their creations due to its natural and versatile properties.
For leatherworkers, beeswax provides a durable, water-resistant finish that helps to repel moisture, extend the life of the material, and enhance its suppleness and shine.
It can be blended with oils to create conditioners that prevent cracking and aging, ensuring the leather remains soft and pliable.
Woodworkers value beeswax for its ability to seal and protect wood surfaces by filling small pores and creating a smooth, lustrous finish.
Its protective layer helps guard against scratches, water damage, and fading, while also enriching the natural grain and color of the wood.
As a non-toxic, eco-friendly option, beeswax is particularly appealing for artisans seeking sustainable materials to preserve and enhance the beauty of their handcrafted items.
