Florida Beekeeping & Local Honey: Inside the Hives with CBbees

What does it really take to turn a thriving hive into a bottle of local Florida honey? In this episode of The Florida Homesteader Podcast , we sit down with CBbees to talk about beekeeping in Florida, producing local raw honey, caring for honeybees, and the important role pollinators play in Florida agriculture. We also go beyond the bottle to hear the story behind CBbees and learn more about the work, challenges, and rewards that come with keeping bees and producing honey right here in the Sunshine State. CBbees is also featured in the September/October issue of The Florida Homesteader , and this conversation gives us an opportunity to bring their story from the pages of the magazine to life. If you're in Florida's Heartland, you can pick up the September/October issue of The Florida Homesteader at Rural King in Sebring —and while you're there, look for a bottle of CBbees honey to take home, too!
