Join us for The Honeybee, the Hive and the Beekeeper, as we discover many interesting things about honey bees, their jobs, where they live, and how the beekeeper interacts with them.

The Honeybee- First, we will cover the many jobs of the honeybee and how they interact and communicate with each other in the hive. 

The Hive- Next, we will take a look at a vacant hive and talk about the history, parts, and functions of the modern beehive. We will cover all the products of the hive, how the bees use them to survive, and even taste some honey.

The Beekeeper- Lastly, we meet the beekeeper, learn about his/her tools and how he/she interacts with the bees, and someone will even get to try on a kid-sized beekeeping suit.

*Weather permitting, we will take a walk out to the beehives to take a look.

About Nelle

I am Nelle. I grew up in rural, small town, Ohio. When I was young, I learned a lot about homesteading from my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, 4-H, FFA, and others around me. Now, I’m all grown up, have 6 children of my own, and plan to teach them everything I know. Here on Mama’s Homestead, we talk and write about homesteading, homeschooling, and kidsteading (homesteading with kids). We teach our kids about survival, self-sufficiency, gardening (vegetable, herb, flower), orchard, beekeeping, home keeping, soap making, harvesting, cooking, food preservation, livestock, nature, crafts, homesteading tools and wares, and more… Welcome to my homestead…come and learn with us!

Welcome to my homestead!

Hello, I'm Nelle Weaver!
I grew up on a small farm in Ohio and experienced various aspects of homesteading. I learned many skills from my grandparents and parents and from being involved in 4-H and FFA.  
My husband and I write about our simple life here on Mama's Homestead and teach classes on our homestead in central Ohio, where we raise goats, chickens, and rabbits, have an orchard, garden, keep bees, and much more. Read More…
