Lastly, here is a Mead toast for St. Patrick's Day: 

"Friends and relatives, so fond and dear, 'tis our greatest pleasure to have you here. When many years this day has passed, fondest memories will always last. So we drink a cup of Irish mead and ask God's blessing in your hour of need." The guests respond: "On this special day, our wish to you, the goodness of the old, the best of the new. God bless you both who drink this mead, may it always fill your every need."

We will be in touch to let you know about our summer events!
All the best, Melissa, John and the honeybees too~

      Wonderful news, honeyhouse keepers.... Now you really do have the first official mead house in the UP. The bees must be buzzing with excitement given the unusual weather.. Look forward to summer and the market. Best Ed
