Why We Started with the Hive

Before we cut a tree, before we drew a fence line, before we wrote a single word about what this company would be — we put bees on the ground.

Loblolly pine teaches patience. Forty years to grow a stand. A decade to plan the next cut.

The clover broke before the dogwood this year. The bees noticed before we did.

Stewardship is not a marketing word. It is a verb measured in decades, not posts.
