I still haven't managed to get the bees removed from the above house.....but if weather cooperates will probably try to do it this weekend. It's too late in the year, but I don't have a queen in my horizontal hive. We'll see.
I'm a couple of weeks from honey harvest. Overall I'm up to 16-17 hives this year, and they're all producing enough that they should be ok this winter, but I'm not sure what to expect on production. We'll know in a couple of weeks.
I've had a couple of new keepers I've been helping and I think one of them and a high school aged daughter of a friend who is interested are going to come down when I pull boxes for the harvest. If you want to know if it's for you....pulling honey supers in the late summer, or switching the deeps around in the spring will let you know if bee keeping is for you.
How did you all come out this year?
