I robbed one of the hives today. There were four and a half frames of honey in the super, which is only about 20 pounds at best. There has been so much clamor for honey that I decided not to wait.<\/p>\n
The other hives had very little honey.<\/p>\n
This has been the worst year for me. I lost all the bees over the winter and one of the packages that I bought this Spring. The only high point was that a dead hive somehow came back to life – perhaps a swarm found it. It is coming along, but it has nothing in the super.<\/p>\n
I will have so little honey and my costs are so high that I am raising the cost per bear. I am still discussing this with Erica, who doesn’t want to do it.<\/p>\n
After I bottle what I have, I will announce that honey is here, but I am limiting the amount of honey I’ll sell at\u00a0 a time so everybody gets at least a little honey.<\/p>\n
