Santa Rosa plantation dates to the 17th century, though the plantation house in its current form dates to only 1840. Santa Rosa has been home to bees and excellent honey since before the American Revolution. For example, the will of Captain James Gee (1694-1760) filed at Prince George County Courthouse on February 16, 1760 lists among the Captain’s possessions “7 bees and hives.” During the Civil War Santa Rosa plantation was very close to the siege line surrounding Petersburg but the house itself was not burnt down because the Federals used the house as a headquarters and a field hospital…the heart pine floorboards on the 3d floor are covered with many large blood stains from the wounded soldiers. In 1864 the Union headquarters and hospital at Santa Rosa were overrun by Confederate cavalry on their way to rustle 5,000 Federal cattle that were corralled at Coggins point, cattle that were meant to feed the Union Army but instead were driven back to Petersburg by the rebels and ended up feeding the Confederate Army, prolonging the siege of Petersburg until 1865.
Santa Rosa Plantaion BeeFarm: Home to the OLDEST Living Pecan Tree in Virginai
The Ancient Pecan of Santa Rosa
Towering above Santa Rosa and visible for miles around, being
twice the height of the surrounding trees and other vegetation, is the mighty Ancient
Pecan. Pecan trees are native to Prince George
County and were cultivated by the Indians long before the English settlers arrived,
but are still rather rare, since the abundant squirrels love to eat not only
the Pecan nuts, but also devour the Pecan seedlings greedily. The trunk of the Ancient
Pecan of Santa Rosa measures 24 feet in circumference. The Ancient Pecan of Santa Rosa is at least
350 years old, arguably the oldest living Pecan tree in Virginia. The long vertical scar on the east facing
side of the tree, a scar possibly caused by a past lightning strike, has been
the home of a colony of wild honey bees…could Pooh get his paw in there to
scoop out the honey?
“Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.” ― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”-Maurice Maeterlinck, The Life of the Bee

WHAT DO HONEY AND PENICILLIN HAVE IN COMMON?
Have a Prescription for Penicillin?
You May Already Have the Best Natural Alternative in Your Pantry!
(NaturalNews) Not only are antibiotics commonly over-prescribed, but they can also have a negative impact on your health. Why use them when you can make an inexpensive and powerful natural alternative out of ingredients you probably already have at home?
Here's a version of the recipe to make your own natural antibiotic from Healthy Food House:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of organic honey
1/4 cup of organic ACV
Garlic cloves
1/2 cup of water
Method of preparation
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of organic honey
1/4 cup of organic ACV
Garlic cloves
1/2 cup of water
Method of preparation
:First, crush or chop up the garlic. Then, mix it with all the ingredients, and store the mixture in a jar. It should be left overnight in order to become homogeneous. The next morning, strain the syrup and store it in a dark and cool place.
This powerful concoction can be used to treat respiratory ailments such as bronchitis and asthma, and it's great for soothing coughs and sore throats.

REMEMBER:
Honey is one of nature's miracle foods – it contains nutrients, antioxidants and more:
"Organic honey is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, and it successfully fights against free radicals since it acts as an antioxidant. Moreover, it has strong anti- inflammatory and antibacterial properties which will provide great relief in the case of a cold, cough or a sore throat."
Be sure to purchase only raw organic honey – preferably from a local beekeeper (SANTA ROSA HONEY). Local honey contains local pollen which can help your body fight seasonal allergies, especially if you begin consuming it a few months before allergy season. This will help you build up a tolerance to seasonal allergens.
Most of the honey sold in the supermarket has been filtered and pasteurized – processes which destroy its health benefits. In fact, much of the honey sold commercially contains no honey at all!

Wintering the Bee Hives
There is so much more to beekeeping then one might think! Winterizing the Bees is one of those things one does not really think about when they think of HONEY. BUT if you want HONEY you have to keep your Bees warm in winter, othwise the Bees will not make it to spring. We are expecting some rather cold temperatures in Prince George, Virginia next week ...maybe even some SNOW. Here is what our hives look like after they are wrapped in roofing felt so as to endure the colder temperatures.

P.S. YES, we still have HONEY from our fall harvest...NOT much but some! If you are interested in some super delicious HONEY contact me and I WILL meet your HONEY NEEDS!
