Bees have their own language. Wiggles, movements, sounds, flight patterns, all combine to communicate to other hive members key facts. I found some food, it's THIS way, and about THIS far, let me take you there!
Our beehives have been temporarily with another beekeeper since March. We'll get them back after our new home is finished and we move. We've had some frames packed with honey waiting to be harvested for some time and this weekend was a work weekend for us. We uncapped the frames and ran them through the extractor and yielded about 7+ gallons of honey.
When we're done, there are remnants. Wax pieces, honey that doesn't drain, etc. and if we put them outside it's just a matter of time until we see a bee, then another, and before you know it 1000s are cleaning up the extra! The bees are coming from out of the woods around our home, probably from past swarms from our own hives. They're pretty good about getting the word out and bringing their friends and within a day or two everything will be cleaned up.
In our business, it's critical to get the buzz, both coming in and going out.
Coming in, we need information.
New construction, market shifts, changes in business models, local news that impacts the real estate market, and yes, even the macro stuff that might influence local markets.
Going out, we need to be able to generate positive buzz about us.
Reviews, IDX pages that get found, social media, word of mouth, etc.
You've got to generate buzz to keep your business prospering!
What's your favorite way to generate buzz?
Until next Tuesday, just Ask An Ambassador if you need help,
