Peeking Bees Apiary

To all the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, fur moms, queen moms, and every woman who stepped up with the heart of a mother Happy Mother’s Day.

Just like in the hive, where the queen, worker bees, and nurturers each play their part in protecting and raising the colony, motherhood comes in many beautiful forms. It is not only about giving life, but also about giving love, guidance, sacrifice, and strength.

Tonight, before Mother’s Day ends, Peeking Bees Apiary honors every mother and every woman who became one through love, care, and choice. Thank you for being the quiet strength, the gentle hands, and the fierce protectors of your own hives.

May your hearts be as full as blooming flowers, and may your love continue to nourish generations just like bees help life flourish.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers around the world. From our hive to yours.

I saw a bunch of African tulip trees near the plaza and schools. They’re undeniably beautiful, and of course, we respect all forms of life.

But as a beekeeper, it also makes me think. Some pollinators, especially stingless bees, may struggle in areas where these trees are common, as they can negatively affect their survival.

I understand that as a citizen, I can’t dictate what gets planted in our city. I just hope that in the future, there can be more consideration in choosing plants and trees not just for aesthetics, but also for the pollinators that quietly support our environment.
Because a healthy city should also be a place where bees can thrive.

Happy to see the narra trees (Pterocarpus indicus) slowly blooming.
It means more pollen and nectar on the way, giving our bees the resources they need to grow, forage, and thrive. A good sign of the season ahead.
