Bottled up

I've bottled my initial twenty pounds of honey. A lot more to go.

Match 1

A tough loss.

Honey coming soon!

I just got a UPS shipping notification that I have a package coming from Eagan, MN. Well, the only thing I order out of MN is bee equipment and more specifically my honey extractor. I ordered the extracting bundle back in early March only to find out that the actual extractor was on back order. I feared that I wouldn't have it in time to extract the spring honey, but after today's notification, I am getting excited. I will likely do my honey extraction the in two weeks (after I get back from London). By then all of the tulip poplar will be finished blooming and the bees will slow down in their nectar collection.
