Ju Ju Bees

Apiary Art by the Robomaster

I was forced into beekeeping by the fact that a wild bee colony living in the boarded up window of our house was interfering with the remodeling project. I became a backyard apiarist when my wife Melissa and I extracted the colony and set it up in a makeshift hive. Although that hive petered out, we managed to get another from inside a friends garage wall and got a very sturdy colony that has stayed alive for 6 years. Since then, I have fun catching the swarms every year, setting friends up with hives of their own, and enjoying all our ju ju bees. I will be offering this delicious natural honey for sale for the first time with my special hand drawn labels.

Michael Schiess started the Lucky Ju Ju out of need for public pinball participation. It is now the very gallery that houses such works as this one. Works tirelessly towards the ultimate pinball museum. He lets bees live on his property and extracts honey in payment for rent.
