New Honey!

Ashley goes in after it!

Ashley put in two new colonies of bees in April. Last week we had our first honey harvest! Almost two and a half gallons. Wow. We are saying that it is probably mostly from blackberry flowers, but there are certainly  a few fruit trees on the property that were in bloom, and a bit of lavender too. We put it all into sterilized Jars and have started to dole it out. 4 ounce jars for acquaintances, 8 ounce jars for family and friends! Maybe next year we will have a little table at the farmers market?
