Busting through the front door. Daring to strut up the center of an airport. Wearing that dress without spanx. All the definition of being BOLD. Correct? Yes! But Victory will add another level of being BOLD... Serving up GINGER, ROSEMARY, PEPPERMINT and CHOCOLATE and calling it SMUCHE. Okay, well, haven't invented that palette just yet but maybe soon. It is about flavor.

I am just a baker right? But recent news reports and health reports have me very worried that flavor will be sacrificed. And not just for ourselves – for everyone.

In addition to producing honey and beeswax, bees pollinate the plants that produce fruits, vegetables and nuts worldwide. Unfortunately pesticide use, parasites and Colony Collapse Disorder have reduced the number of bees available to carry out this important function.

While the population has been dwindling for years, the bee shortage is reaching alarming proportions. In fact, because bees are vital to 30% of the food supply, some experts predict a global food production crisis. It’s gotten so bad that farmers have started “renting” bees to pollinate their crops, paying beekeepers to put hives right on their farms.

Beekeepers like us have had to step up our annual investment, buying new queens and splitting our hives every year. The recent droughts have made it necessary to feed our bees when there’s not enough natural foliage for them to feed on.

Although the bee die-off remains a scientific mystery, everyone agrees – it’s an ominous sign of an ecosystem in distress.

In 2010, Bee’s Knees doubled its production facilities, adding 3,000 square feet to the original barn. Our bees still feed on Kānuka trees in the valley below the farm.
