Breeds' bees

This new monthly column highlights the rich agricultural heritage of our region by featuring a local farmer or food producer, along with a submission of one of their favorite seasonal recipes.

Most people find bees at least a little bit scary, if not downright menacing - but not Bonnie and Bob Breed of Breed Hill Apiary, retired professionals turned beekeepers located on the east side of Owasco Lake inlet in Moravia. Bonnie exclaims, “Bees are thrilling and exciting - to open the hive, and see what's there.”

With luck, “what's there” will most likely be gobs of the luscious, sticky, sweet stuff - liquid gold if you maintain an apiary (a yard of hives) with the intent of bringing your honey to market, as this husband and wife team does.
