Yay honey

Started keeping bees this season and just took off my first lot of honey (16 jars)

Congratulations -
I'm into my 4th summer of having bees and very much hoping that this year will result in a bit of a honey harvest for the very first time

I can still taste that lovely lime honey you sent me a sample of.

4 years!!!! That is a lot of patience! I would have thought your area would have been a wonderful nectar area! I am constantly surprised how little I know about the British Isles.

More a reflection of my particular cock-ups in 2014 and 13 - the nucs were new in July 2012 and Sept 2012 so no hopes for honey that 1st year.

Let's just say I used 2013 and 14 to gain LOTS of experience
