Naming your apiary?

In deference to the Tundra Division, the bee should be dressed in a parka. :thumbsup:

 

I have to adhere to the Keep It Simple Stoopid (KISS) principle so that I can remember things. I live next to Hornsby Hollow Campground and recreation area. Honey starts with H. So I think I'll call it Hornsby Hollow Honey. I can handle up to 3 H's. (another H and it might get confused with the 4-H club).

 

my pick of names was fairly simple.

first I wanted a name short enough to fit on the label I attach to a mason jar lid. I am ET to a lot my friends and they were my bees so ETzzzBzzz became my label name.

 

New to this myself and haven't decided on a name yet. First letter of my last name and my Partner's last name is the same "B". So, kinda thinking along those lines with names like "BB's Honey", or "B&B's Bee Honey"
not very original i know. also he's my Pastor, so maybe we could use that somehow?

I am in a conundrum about choosing a name. My last name is Cruser, so naturally I thought of Cruser's Honey Farm or Cruser Family Honey Farm. I was sold on the idea until I started rethinking it. I live in a rural county that it known for its covered bridges (over 20), we even have a festival here called the "Parke County Covered Bridge Festival" that is attended by millions of people for one week in October. I think Covered Bridge Honey Farm would be more appealing than Cruser's/Cruser Family Honey Farm, plus if I had a website, it would pop up in searches for "covered bridge...."
What do you think? I am looking for any input here, please

 

Sounds real good to me. :thumbsup:
Up in New Brunswick (next to Nova Scotia) there are covered bridges that attract visitors as well.
Beautiful!

 

I like the covered bridge name, especially when you have a festival in your area for it. Sounds like a good marketing strategy. You could even change up the pics on the jar labels featuring different bridges.

 

Me too, if it ever comes to that point.

How about pastorized honey? :rolling:

 

ef that's a goodun for sure :lol::lol:

 

Zulu Bees here, also easy,

Some know the story, I was transferred from South Africa to the states , and the guys I was working with xpected a black guy, so I called myself Zu​lu.... Been Zulu on every forum I frequent.

I have an artist working on a bee with a Zulu Shield and spear for my logo, should bee ready for this harvest.

My Boy Scout project was also easy , Scoutbee 107 , the number being the troop number.

 

Since I'm just getting started, My apiary is still called "the backyard"

 

sounds good too!!

I finally settled on "Sun Bear Apiary" for myself. Hence the new avatar. I had a short list of potential names, and most people liked this one (even if it wasn't my favorite at first). I also think it has great logo potential; Sun Bears are one of the funkiest-looking bears out there.

A Sun Bear is also known as the Malaysian Honey Bear. Also when I was a Zookeeper years ago, one of my favorite animals I cared for was a Sun Bear by the name of "Buckwheat". So I personally have the buckwheat=honey association going on. I can attest that she really did love honey.

Anyway, I really do think it's a good idea to bounce potential names off of other people. What sounds good to you might have different connotations to others, and vice-versa.

ps- I should probably go ahead and change my name on the forum as well; it's dumb, but I started using it a long time ago. I'll probably keep it for now for continuity.

 

Congrats on your choice of a name and new avatar. :thumbsup: Hope it leads you to a long and successful honey production career.

 

Can we change our forum name?
In that case, I would like to change mine to "Good Looking".
Naw, nobody would believe it!

 

Good idea. Glad to do it for you.... :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:
