I harvested Justine and Ethel. I have to get to Martha and Connie this next weekend. I have honey to fill about 120 bears. I ordered a case. At $6 a bear that’s about $720, which brings the cost of each bear down to about $15. I figure to break even in the Spring.
People complained that they searched Google for Rockland County Honey so I created a web site. It’s not done yet, but it should be mostly there soon. I is “West Nyack Honey” dot com.
It is interesting how different the Fall honey is from the Spring Honey. Autumn Honey is dark, hearty and spicy tasting. The Fall flowers make for a chestnut brown honey. The Spring Honey was almost clear. It was mostly from trees like Maple, Oak, and Apple. The fruit trees gave it a flowery perfume with a subtle taste.
