As the title says we've just completed our first honey harvest. Not vast amounts-just one super=20lbs of honey, but very exciting none the less.
Very light golden floral honey & utterly delicious...but I may be biased
Bees were not too put out by our thieving. In fact, they seem happier than they have in a while & we're off flying this morning & bringing in lts of pollen & I hope nectar. Now that the very hot weather is behind us, we appear to be having a second wind in terms of flowers. Good weather here can last right up to a Christmas, so maybe we will get a second harvest. Fingers crossed.
