Bee Healthy Gardens, was established,

March 2011, by Holly Burritt.

Locally out of Chapin, South Carolina.

I received a package of bees and a 10 frame hive body kit from my Canadian friends who felt I would enjoy the challenge. I was scared I would have to admit! Yet, I worked through my nerves to realize that the honeybee is not much different then a scared dog. If you move slow and use your skills of nature and knowledge, you will be able to work with these tiny creatures and learn to appreciate what they do for you.

As the summer and season’s passed I grew to appreciate every sound, movement and even the many different smells that the honeybees showed me.

I truly felt as if i could appreciate the honeybee, as I would a beautiful blossoming delicate flower needing to be seen.
