Spring has officially sprung—and so has our family! We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new addition to the Stiltner household: our baby boy is here, healthy and bright-eyed, just in time for the season’s first nectar flows. With tiny toes and a full head of hair (not unlike a fuzzy little drone bee), he’s already the buzz of the apiary. In the bee yard, April means business: we’ve started adding honey supers across all our hives. The colonies are waking up strong, and if the weather holds, it’s shaping up to be a stellar spring harvest. Here’s hoping the wildflowers cooperate and the rain stays kind! Keep an eye on our socials for updates, honey pulls, and probably a few baby-in-a-beekeeper-suit photos (no promises, but we’re very tempted).

We’re proud to share some exciting news: JaysBees has been selected as the official honeybee rescue partner for Northwest Exterminating in Middle Tennessee! Instead of treating bees like pests, Northwest is joining us in protecting pollinators—choosing relocation over eradication whenever honeybee colonies are found in homes, businesses, or unexpected places (chimneys, soffits, porch swings—you name it). We’ll be safely removing and rehoming these essential creatures, giving them a new lease on life in our apiaries and sanctuary gardens. This partnership means more bees saved, more pollination across our region, and a whole lot more sweet honey to come. If you or someone you know spots a swarm or hive where it doesn’t belong, give us a buzz. We’ll handle the stingy situations with care.
