I read about the demonstrations this morning on the news. I hope the truth about what happened comes out soon.

I am amazed how much honey I have. I've got 8 frames to extract, I've done 5. Every 2 that I do fill up the 9x11 baking pan. I've been straining it, and have already put up 2 pints and a couple of little jelly jars, and that was only a few frames. This is so cool. And I am gunna have ants. Everything is sticky.

I have never seen raw honey that is amazing! How do you strain it? That is a wonderful resource.

Even more incredible, is that I estimate we will get our 100th egg on wednesday. We are at 93 with todays 2 eggs, I'm expecting two more still. Even if a couple of them skip one of these days, we should hit the mark. So far we have gotten 3417 grams of egg.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who tracks my eggs.

I track by color and type (chicken, turkey, duck).

Luckily we have a small flock, so I can outgeek you.

SCG, we have neighbors that hives at another location..not at their home. They make the lip balm, and they make a bar to use as a lotion. They put different scents into the bars, and man, when I was hatching chicks, I used that bar a lot. Kept my hands a lot less chappy. Of course, they have the honey. When it crystallizes..we put some in the microwave, softens it right back up. Yumm

DiDi, thank you for the hug. And yes, I can just imagine the two of you together. You must have a blast!
Those photos are beautiful, as usual. I was wondering where that was. At first I thought Bridal..but there was too much green around them. Very pretty.

Cynthia, always happy to give you a hug! You are a super sweet lady.

The pictures were taken at Stewart Falls. This is basically just around the corner from Bridal Falls. It is past Sundance. It is a very popular hike.

@Bunnylady No, cooking would take out all the beneficial refined bacteria based substances from it. Instead it is to be served at freezer temperature.

I have no idea what you are talking about??!

Morning discussion with Karin over breakfast: "Oh, someone on BYC had made honey." "No." "It looked pretty nice." "No." "Didn't even seem that difficult." "No. You are not getting bees."

Saw you coming, did she?
