Introducing- The Weekly Buzz with Bee!🐝
Date Published: February 9, 2025 | Last updated: August 16, 2026
Welcome to our new tradition—The Weekly Buzz with Bee!
Meet Bee! A dream come true. 🐴✨
Bee is officially registered with the American Paint Horse Association and comes with a story as beautiful as she is. At 12 years old, she carries the name No Valde Bee Smart, passed down from her Sire, Nu Valde Gay, and her Dam, Honey Bee Smart—a legacy of strength, intelligence, and heart.
Before joining us, Bee spent years with just one owner, who even won the APHA Worlds on her a few years back! Now, she’s adjusting to her new home and her new mom (me!), and let’s just say… she’s teaching me as much as I’m teaching her.
Herd Life
Bee already found a boyfriend: Sinjari, her charming neighbor to the left.
She has a love-hate relationship with the gelding (jury's still out on whether they’ll be besties or frenemies).
She’s been here just two weeks, and she’s already making sure I know who’s boss (hint: it’s not me).
Overcoming Fears
Bee came with a few quirks—water crossings and shadows were no-go zones. But yesterday, we had a breakthrough:
She calmly crossed the scary no-water creek THREE times (and with me on her back)! No jumping, no hesitation, just pure confidence.
She’s settling in, learning, and growing as am I, and I’m beyond grateful to have her as the first of many in the Wise Market herd, thanks to patrons, collectors, and friends like you! 💛
Every week, we’ll share updates on our sweet girl’s journey as she settles into her new home. 💛✨
This week was full of firsts for Bee! Not only did she have her first grazing session with the herd, but she also had a very special visitor—my granddaughter! 💕🐝
To help Bee’s herd fully enjoy grazing without being injured by Bees self-protection tendency for kicking, we had her rear shoes removed, allowing her to roam freely and comfortably. She took it all in with curiosity, staying close to Sinjari for reassurance as she explored her new pasture life. 🌾🐎
But the sweetest moment? My granddaughter and Bee sharing a snack—one carrot for Bee, one for her. 🥕🐴 Watching their bond form was a reminder of the simple joys that make life so special.
Bee is settling in Bee-autifully, and we’re so excited to share her journey with you each week. Stay tuned for the next buzz! 🐝💛
