Yummy Honey!

Yum yum. The honey has been extracted and is bottled up and ready to go! What an amazing treat to have fresh honey right off the hive and unpasteurized. It is an unparalleled taste experience!

The warm sunny weather has given the bees some extra time to gather nectar and prepare for winter. It has been over 30 degrees celsius each day for a week. My beekeeping neighbour down the road has estimated that this week alone has given the bees a chance to produce an extra 30 pounds of honey per hive. Tremendous!

I hope El Nino is good to us here in the only cold region of North America last winter!
