Hurricane Honey


Book Description

It was May 2018 when I took the leap of becoming a beekeeper. I started with a Mason Jar hive (a beginners hive) soon after I expanded my ideas and purchased a Flow Hive. My dad built stands and set up the Flow Hives as a way to stay busy. My bees arrived, and with some help, they became established; so much so that we needed a second Flow Hive to keep them comfortable.All was going well until 5 months later. On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael crashed ashore in my town of Mexico Beach, Florida. Although dad and I live 6 miles inland, the storm was so strong that it affected people hundreds of miles from the shore. My hives were knocked off there stands, beaten, and battered... but my bees survived. I carefully reset the hives, prayed over the bees, and let them re-establish their colony.They encountered a hurricane, mites, and needed me to feed them after all the trees and blossoms were gone... and they still survived.In May of 2019, 7 months after the hurricane, my bees produced honey! I've learned that in the bee business you must ask for help because there was so much that I didn't, and still don't, know. I'm learning every day. I've had many beekeepers help me along the way, and I've made just about every mistake you can make. I think the bees are alive by the pure miracle of God and prayer. They are survivors. "Ground Zero Survivors."This is why I call it Hurricane Michael Ground Zero Survivor Honey.

Saving Mossy Point


Book Description

When retired schoolteacher and widow Betty Hanson learns that the 51st State of Superior is about to close Mossy Point State Park, she expresses her concern to Ray Engstrom, the head of the General Land Office. But Mr. Engstrom reveals a discouraging fact: Mossy Point State Park has never paid its own way since it opened back in 1959. And according to him, it "has the same chance of running in the black as a turtle has of flying." Determined to prove Mr. Engstrom wrong, Betty gathers help from friends and neighbors. A plan emerges to open a folk school, a place where students of all ages can come to learn a craft, and work begins to put Mossy Point State Park on solid fiscal ground. But not everyone is on board with the plan. At times, Betty almost finds herself side-tracked by dealing with her estranged daughter and grandson, who suddenly appear back in her life, and then there is her close friend Lee, who seems to want more than friendship. The State itself seems to have alternative plans for the park, and when an accident threatens to destroy both Betty and the park's finances, all of her plans could fall apart. What can possibly turn their fortunes around and make a turtle fly?
