Seven thriving colonies call Thistle & Rose home, and each hive carries its own rhythm, temperament, and purpose. From the first warm flights of spring to the hum of summer harvest, these bees are more than honey producers- they are pollinators, teachers, and a living reminder of the balance between hard work and harmony in nature. Every jar of honey, every beeswax creation, and every bloom in the garden begins with the dedication of those remarkable colonies. Caring for them has become one of the greatest joys of the apiary- daily practice in patience, stewardship and gratitude..
