Harvested the super I use for honeycomb. 12 containers and an extra gallon of honey
3 gallons from one hive. My second hive swarmed, so not enough honey to harvest yet. The third hive I'm harvesting this week for honeycomb.
Collected about 2 gallons of honey this year.
Blue Star borage
First honey of the season. The second established hive will probably give about 10 times as much.
This hive died, the queen didn't make it and they were not able to rear a new one quickly enough. When I checked it today, it was totally dead, so I harvested the honey in the super and closed up the brood chamber with some apivar.
In the fall I will get this one going again. My other hive is doing amazing.
Mite counts were low on both hives, and I do preventative treatments.
Today, I am selling my work at Providence Flea. 275 South Water St, Providence RI.
This is a weekly juried event with over 80 vendors and food trucks.
Horrible laws written mostly by men against women. Men who will never and have never been affected by what they are prohibiting.
It's so gross and infuriating.
Sunflower can steal my chair any day!
Just do what you enjoy. Who gives a Fck what others think. Ffs, this post is infuriating.
