The Harvest is Over; the Honey is Gone
Today I sold my last jar of this year's harvest.
We (the Meetup) extracted honey from three supers. Two yielded a pale gold honey; the third, mysteriously, was a deep, rich amber, thick and creamy. Yum! I'll miss it. (I sold it all because I'm on the South Beach diet and honey is a no-no).
I sold it in 1 lb. jars for $8 and 1/2 lb. bears for $5. The bears were very popular.
Noiw it's getting time to settle the bees down for winter: inspecting for pests and diseases, treating for tracheal mites giving sugar syrup as needed, and wrapping the hives. against the fierce winter wind up there.
