What we do is tend bees, harvest and pack artisanal honey, make two different kinds of prepared mustard — from scratch, make beeswax candles and run a small business. In the course of doing that, interesting things occur to us about our occupation, things we thought might interest you, and we wanted a place to share them.
Thanks to Don Brockmeier for this wonderful photo. March in Nebraska makes me wish I had this eagle’s intense icy focus. From my office window, winter lingers in beige and gray scraps, and I feel just as dull.
Don shared his reel with us to bring a smile and a chuckle in mid- February when our landscapes are washed in pale blue, gray, brown, and bronze and serve as a stage for crowds of ring-bill gulls…
My first and favorite word for January is Clarity because the clear my thinking and imagining the future I want to see for myself, the easier it is to fulfill the promise to myself.
After a lifetime of career and personal pursuits, I returned to Holdrege, a small town on the Nebraska prairie with a population of under 10,000. I asked what this change meant for me, and began listing subjects I wanted to learn more about. Beekeeping, to my surprise, rose to the top.
I embarked on the adventure in 2006, took a course taught by a University of Nebraska Entomologist, and before I knew it, my apiary was producing 300 lbs of honey every year. That was more honey than I could ever eat or giveaway, so I started thinking, “What if I made a mustard?” With the help of my next-door neighbor, we taste-tested recipe after recipe until we landed on the Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard you know today. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
