A Sweet Shop

If you ever want to know anything about raising honeybees, a good resource is Ron Shaw in Ashland, IL.  He's done it for several years now and has loads of fascinating information about bees and honey production.  Last night, he gave me a tour of his new "honey shop."  Here is a little look inside.

  2. Yeah, they're pretty fascinating. I usually find out something new every time we visit there.
