Behind The Scenes at Nine Gates Apiary

Early Spring 2022 Harvest is in! And it’s delicious! Delicate floral with a hint of sweet citrus and a very faint touch of vanilla. #localbusiness #localhoney #honeybee #welovebees #savethebees #chestercounty #brandywinevalley
Love to see the bees in the garden! Out this morning gathering some lettuce for lunch and was visited by a honey bee taking a drink from the morning dew. 🐝❤️ #honeybee #savethebees #organicgardening #localhoney #chestercounty
Multi floral Rose, although it is considered an invasive species, is a favorite of the honey bee. Cut down to remove, please don’t spray, especially when they are flowering. #honeybee #invasivespecies #savethebees #welovebees🐝
Early Spring 2022 Harvest coming soon! Honeysuckle is just one of the flower sources that make up this delicious harvest! #honey #localhoney #cheeseboard #honeybee #flowers
Bee swarm! The bees swarm to propagate their species. The queen will leave with a portion of the hive and go find a new home. We forced the issue with this one and we’re happy we could catch them and keep them in our apiary! #swarmofbees #h
It’s a gorgeous day! The bees are lovin’ it too! The nectar flow is on and the honey comb is almost ready to harvest! Early Spring harvest it almost ready! #localhoney #savethebees #shoplocal #spring #chestercounty #queenbee
The bees were busy over Easter weekend! We’re watching as the bees are starting to pack the honey in the comb and we can’t wait for our first harvest! Swipe to see some of the nectar sources that makes early spring honey so delicio
