Main Street Maple and Honey farm

01/01/2026

It was a hell of a year we've had ups and downs. Overall it's been good we made lots of syrup in the spring then tore our sugar House down we made lots of bees this summer and due to the drought honey crop was marginal at best then we had many bear instances in the bee yards which destroyed many hundreds of dollars of equipment and killed colonies.... As it stands we're still trying to finish the new sugarhouse and get in the woods in the next couple weeks to straighten up all the lines make some small changes so that we can start tapping trees early to mid February we are right down to crunch time and like I tell most people I'm used to the pressure... We'll keep our fingers crossed for a good 2026 and we wish you all a Happy New Year... Be sure to visit during the sugar season we are open most weekends and definitely on
NH Maple weekend.. be on the lookout for that... Thank you for your support and as always if you're in need of syrup or honey reach out direct or visit our website.

Running a farm is gratifying most of the time. making something from nothing, being one with nature and managing livestock in a way that benefits them and us.. but just when things seem like they're going just right Mother nature deals us a curveball just to keep us on our toes. If it's an ice or wind storm blowing down trees in the woods forcing us to repair tubing,chipmunks and squirrels chewing on tubing ,snow storms limiting our ability to access the woods. Or black bears that want what they want..
it's been a real trying week at one particular bee yard. It's the same beeyard that a little over a year ago I had the same struggles with likely the very same bear.. I have modified the fence I have changed the charger I tested every time I'm there and there is more than 7,000 volts in that fence the problem is bears fur is so thick that they don't always conduct to actually get a shock unless they touch their nose on the fence. Typically I would just pick the hives up and move them unfortunately they're so heavy for winter I can't move them. I have strapped all the boxes and double check the fence we're going to keep our fingers crossed that it goes and finds another means of entertainment or that one of the hunters in the area can fill their tag.. it was a very costly week .. so far I lost eight colonies and lots of destroyed or damaged equipment...

Honey season has me going in all different directions, every day is a new beekeeping adventure. Having enough equipment for growing apiaries is a challenge every year we try to plan for it in the winter time as best we can. Rainy days like yesterday allows me time to assemble new equipment and repair damaged equipment... Today we work bees. Happy Sunday folks
