The Beekeeper
Archie Acevedo raises bees in Franklin, MA as well as on private land in Medway. Our Franklin apiaries are nestled alongside their organically managed flower farm, Painted Lady Flower Farm, and local Organic farms were all produce has been grown pesticide and chemical free . Archie and his wife Amy raise 3 boys in addition to honey bees and flowers. He works in the Solar industry as a Construction Manager and when he’s not beekeeping, parenting, flower farming, or managing solar projects, he will be found working on frame-up restorations of his vintage ’39-’46 Dodge trucks.
The Bees
Our primary focus is on producing survivor bees from our VSH stock that show hygienic behavior and have adapted to our region.
They are open mated at our Medway and Franklin yards and are a combination of John Harbo VSH stock, Cory Stevens “Missouri Mite Hunter”, VSH Pol-line 2.2, and our VSH overwintered stock. We do bring in other VSH queens from time to time to help with early splits.
We work our bees bare-handed for most of the season; therefore, we select our stock for gentle temperament.
