Honey Shack Has Belén Buzzing
At the Honey Shack, Belén beekeepers offer a uniquely New Mexican mix of bee-made products. WHEN BILLY WEST set out to explore beekeeping in 2016, he was, at best, bee-curious. “He went out there to learn how to keep bees and just fell in love with the entire process,” recalls Jennifer West, his wife and business partner. A few backyard hives and trunk sales soon blossomed into a bustling Belén business, selling about two dozen honey varietals, including Desert Marigold and lavender-infused honeys, along with pollen, propolis, honey-based skin care, and beeswax items like candles. Another sweet offering is Honey Shack’s Bourbon Honey. Made in collaboration with Albuquerque’s Hollow Spirits Distillery, their cat’s-claw honey is aged in a Hollow Spirits bourbon barrel for more than 100 days, imparting a smooth, oaky finish. The emptied barrels are then sent back to the distillery to produce a honey bourbon, keeping the cycle going. “The honey tastes like the perfect old fashioned,” Jennifer says. Beyond their products, Billy tends hives around the region and removes wild hives. “Strong colonies will split up,” he explains, but the problem is that their new home may end up inside a wall, in a birdhouse, or underneath a vehicle. Relocating tens of thousands of bees might sound like an impossible job, but Billy says it’s all about the queen. “If you get her in the box, all the other bees will follow.”

Green Chile is going quickly
Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — New Mexico’s green chile season is running short this year as growers deal with a significant drop in production. At Rosales Produce in Albuquerque’s North Valley, owners say they’re selling out of green chile by midday, moving nearly 8,000 pounds a day before supplies run out. The New Mexico Chile Growers Association says record-breaking heat stunted crop growth this summer, while an early surge of grasshoppers damaged fields and spread disease. Recent rains have provided some relief but have also made it difficult for farmers to harvest. Growers say customers hoping to buy chile this season should plan to arrive early, as demand continues to outpace supply.
