HoneyBee ZY



Well, as you can see, we have our first crop of honey! The son and hubby worked on harvesting the honey yesterday! Now all I have to do is find a place to store it all and we will be in business but of course if he keeps giving it away I won't have to worry about finding a big place for it all!

It is sooo good! Having one bee hive left, I am surprised we harvested as much as we did. I don't think we really need to have more than that, but I have a feeling that now the hubby has gotten honey he will buy more bees!

You try cooking supper when you have a huge extractor sitting on your kitchen counter. A big pan of water being used as a steamer to melt down the honey sitting on the only cook stove you have. Then add three people in a small kitchen trying to get around each other to get things done. That was not a pretty sight! It sure was worth all the headache of having your kitchen taken over by a hubby that would prefer not to be in the kitchen when it comes to cooking time!

Hope you all have a wonderful evening!

Your honey from the wild bees last year was the best I ever tasted!

That's a pretty good harvest. And worth the crowded kitchen too, I'd bet.
