More Honey

Casey and I harvested three more frames of honey on Wednesday. The honey was really dark. We also took two frames of brood and honey from the first hive, shook off the bees, and placed them into the third hive, which we think has been Queenless for a few weeks. Tomorrow, Sunday, we will take a peek inside to see if there are any Queen cells forming. If not, then we'll order a Queen...if we can find a place that's still selling them.

So far, we've earned $250.00 in honey sales! If things go as expected, we should harvest another 25 to 40 jars of honey. If we can sell all of it, that should bring in another $125.00 to $200.00.
