Eric speaks highly of you and has a lot of respect for your bee skills as well as your character. You can borrow Eric, but you have to return him back to Arkansas. We need him here with us.

Also had to laugh on the bud light !!

That was a lot of Bees for how tiny the hive looked crammed into that space. I find it totally fascinating how different honey tastes depending on what is in flower. I was watching Mr Ed's live last week when he was talking about this too. I hope your finger is doing ok. My eldest has just recovered from having hit his ring finger, and didn't realise until it started bleeding through his glove just how much damage he'd done. He went to the hospital to find he'd shattered the bone into three pieces. You take care 💚
@LadyAlriandi10 ай бұрын
yep different nectar sources makes different flavours of honey. There really isn't a 100% certainty when it comes to exact flavours given that bees forage on different flowers and what the honey will be flavour wise unless you are certain that flower was the only thing the bees where foraging on at the time of harvest. Also flovours can vary country to country i.e. USA has goldenrod, Mastic and privet but here in Australia I can get tea tree which makes a thick dark honey, thats a pain to harvest (yes its the same plant family as Manuka honey), Iron bark, red gum etc. And then you get Europe, Oceania and asain with their own flavours of honey

About 60 pounds of honey. In the frames. We left a nuc with 5 frames of comb for the stragglers to go to. Planning on a few days to bring it back and add them with the rest. In another deep. They came out qnd covered frount of box it was at dark, and about 85 degrees. I'm thinhing they were hot from being closed up in box for 1/2 hour ride. Hope they stay and make it. Going to check on them in a few days.
