🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

I imagine that honey would be wonderful in some tea! I put honey in just about any tea I drink.

I finally got the weeds knocked down around the hives and my homemade Agent Orange sprayed, didn't get kissed once, caught them sleeping on this cool morning. Six mediums with drawn comb that I will drop on after mite treatment. Hives are strong and I'm watching to see when the drones get their walking papers. Extractor, honey buckets and honey strainer clean and covered. Now just hope for a good fall flow. Still have the jars to wash and sterilize, I'll do that when extracting is done and we're ready to bottle.

DW uses it in cooking, me I just take my morning gulp from the jar, sorta my 1 A DAY vitamin but better.

Nice dark honey, nectar source?

Not sure! Might be our mimosa tree. There are others in our area too.

That's what I do too! I jokingly told my daughter it should be enough to last me through winter...lol

Nice, sounds like you're all prepared.

Dale checked the buckwheat field, he said it's already starting to bloom. I guess it will last about a month.

Off to town again! I hate 2 days in a row, but today I have husband in tow! Kind of like a date.

What's first on our fun trip... dump run!

Then, buy a bale of straw for the coop & chick feed.

Check out the new Costco and fill up the pickup.

Then make him take me out for a nice dinner.

Last but not least before heading home, @6:30 our local bee club monthly meeting. Should be home before 9!

Have a great day everyone!

Or I've put the KIBOSH on myself.
