Lots of this blooming right now…

The Google machine calls it Baccharis halimifolia. Not that it matters but it’s nice to know there’s possible options. Both of my colonies have full goldenrod supers to nom nom all winter long.

Sounds like an excellent nectar source.

My son and I extracted 5 gallons of honey from 2 medium supers! Not bad for a rookie! I’m hoping we get a good fall flow so I can at least try some golden rod honey. Some say it’s great and others can’t stand it. We will see soon enough.

I prefer the fall honey, seems to have a little throat heat where I am. Spring flow still good just a little too sweet for me.
