Leo's Story
A story that only happens once in 3 years...
5 am on Saturday, checked the bee cam and what did I see?
Is that a bear? Oh no, it couldn't bee.
A bear wagging his tail and licking the entrance of the beehive!
I ran down the stairs screaming BEAR BEAR! I chased the little black bear the size of a fluffy Leonberger out of the apiary! Don't worry all the established hives survived!
Re-electrifying fence! Zap zap, Leo the bear will never come back! Well at least inside the apiary!
Cause you know, we still want to see Leo the fluffy brown bear and all the silly things he gets into.
*Disclaimer, my neighbors may tell you the non-kid friendly version that is of course still bear friendly.

Bee Proactive! Not Reactive! ZAP ZAP!
Danielle's Story
A passionate solo beekeeper based in Evergreen, Colorado, working to inspire others to protect our bees and embrace sustainable living.
My beekeeping journey began in an unexpected way—over lunch with a colleague and client during my time as a technical sales director for a cellular router manufacturer. When a honeybee fell into my colleague's soda, I instinctively rescued it, and soon discovered my colleague was a beekeeper. This small encounter sparked a deeper curiosity about beekeeping and our environment—showing how simple conversations can inspire others to care about sustainability and permaculture.
I took my first step by enrolling in a beekeeping course with To Bee Or Not To Bee, which led me to set up my initial two hives. Since then, my apiary has grown to over 13 hives, overcoming challenges along the way. I even built a greenhouse after witnessing my first “floral genocide” in early September of 2020, and I’m excited to see my bees thriving despite extreme weather. This spring, I plan to split a dozen hives, expanding my apiary to 24. My vision includes acquiring land and creating a “bee hut” and “beetailer” to pollinate organic crops and enhance sustainable living.
I am passionate about getting more people involved in beekeeping and sharing some sweet products.
Thank you for your support!
Bee-livery!

Breaking into the Apiary
The Boys Story
Oklahoma Yard Ornaments, that is what the adoption letter described. Heartworm positive, left out in 100 degree weather when their temperature range is -50 to 72 degrees. They hate being left outside.
Heartworm treatment was RUFF but we are doing better ever day!
Why Samoyeds?
Natural Bee Suit, although they look like teddy bears to us. Bees don't recognize polar bears. Thick white fur does not pose a threat as they are invisible and un-stingable with the exception of their black little noses! Vail up boys! Bear Patrol, keeping the beekeeper safe since 2021.
Adopt don't Shop! Save one Life? Why not Ooouuu?
Please Beeware Heartworm is present in Colorado
