The Honey Factory

I finished bottling the honey today. Better than last year's no honey but not by much. A whole 9 lbs. 12 oz.

Sounds pretty good to me.

Sounds pretty good to me. ☺

Pretty abysmal compared to 90 to 140 lbs. in previous years.

Im a beekeeper as well. We have about 30,000 honey bees. Good luck in your endeavours! There is so much to learn but its like everything else youll develop your own way of beekeeping.

The Bumblebees were out there too. I would have thought they would have died except for the queens by now.

I don't remember seeing any bumblebees since before the snow.

I haven't pulled out my garden yet just because the bees are still visiting the flowers.

Only flowers I have left are broccoli.
