BORIS THE BEE GUY

ForestBeehive is a treatment-free apiary in central Maine focused on healthy, resilient honey bee colonies and overwintering success.

Our honey bees are never treated with chemicals, acids, or oils. We host fewer than 10 varroa-resistant colonies so our bees can forage exclusively on nstural nectar and pollen spring-to-fall without supplemental sugar feeding.

We use stationary horizontal Layens hives with their double-walls insulated with raw sheep wool, providing higher insulation R value than conventional hives and supporting brood development and winter survival.

Only surplus honey is harvested once a year, and colonies retain sufficient honey stores for winter.

We either let our bees make their own comb or use natural, pesticide-free wax foundation instead of plastic, supporting healthier colonies.

This channel is for bee enthusiasts, natural and treatment-free beekeepers, and anyone interested in sustainable beekeeping, overwintering strategies, and real unadulterated honey.
