Thank you for your interest in Bee Magic.
It all began about 8 years ago while visiting a friend's garden. He was a beekeeper, and one of his bee hives had swarmed into a nearby log on the ground. Glenn proceeded to put on a beekeeping suit that was about three sizes too small, and together they were able to extract the bees from the wood and create a new hive. It was all over after that.
Since 2005, Glenn has humanely removed over 300 beehive colonies for our customers, most of which have been structural type bee extractions.
Eventually I too fell in love with the honey bee and all that it represents, but it has taken some time. To say that I was fearful would have been an understatement, but now I'm proud to say I've captured several bee swarms over the past few years. There's a lot to learn from these little creatures, in so many different ways.
I remember speaking with a gentleman at our local farmer's market. He had been a past president of Sonoma County Beekeepers' Association and explained the love of bees in this way ~ "Beekeepers Syndrome is Life's way of saying "tag, you're it" so that you will fall in love and in turn do your part to educate others and help to keep the bees alive".
It is our hope that you too will choose to learn more about bees and all that they give us. If you need a place to start, a great resource is our local beekeepers association, who can be accessed at Sonoma County Beekeepers' Association, or your own local beekeeping association if you are not in our area. Trust us, you will never bee bored!!!
Thank you for visiting Bee Magic, and please share us with a friend. Word of mouth is always the best compliment and advertisement!
