The Honey Harvest is Today!!!

Both, our mentor and our family, had vacations planned to the beach for the last few weeks of July. And speaking of vacation, check out this vacay pic…

Of all the things you think you might see in the ocean, never did we think it would be a honey bee! Poor little bee. Before becoming beekeepers we may not have even noticed her but since we are beekeepers and our queen bee spotted her floating it warranted getting out of the water to take a pic.

Now that vacations are over, the day (August 4th) is finally here – it’s time to extract the honey. I’m nervous. My biggest fear is pests. Pests that may have ruined the honey for us. I haven’t been out to check on the bees for weeks now. In part because I wasn’t sure what I’d be looking for and I wasn’t sure what I would even do if I did find anything concerning or suspicious. I’m hoping they are fine and thriving. Regardless, I’m sure our mentor will be able to handle whatever is going on and I’m sure we’ll learn a lot today.

If all goes well we will be sharing honey soon!
