This past weekend was honey harvesting weekend, and I can’t help but reflect on how blessed I am to be part of such a beautiful family tradition carrying on a legacy that has been nurtured with hard work, respect for the land, and love for the bees.

There’s something so special about being connected to a tradition that spans generations—seeing the same practices (some have been modified, thankfully), the same dedication, and the same sweet rewards being passed down. It’s not just about honey; it’s about family, history, and the values that keep it all alive.

I’m grateful to stand beside them and be part of this story.
