the numbers are in...
total harvest - 24 lbs of dark rich honey
equal to
8 full quarts plus a half pint of honey
(all this from a single shallow super - oh my!)
* * * * * *
enough for family gift this holiday season
lovely
* * * * * *
next year - who knows
maybe even more this year - there is still time
i want to play it safe with the bees this first winter
the better they feed themselves - the more survive for next year's hive
* * * * * *
happy for that which has been harvested
that is for sure

I'm interested in this: would love to have bees someday, especially when i live in clover rich lands of oregon again....
Is it difficult? Do you have any links to information or anything that could be helpful?
I will put together a list for a near future post.
is beekeeping difficult? i would not say difficult. rather i would say that beekeeping requires attention and observation and a calmness and understanding of a creature. i am learning everyday myself and often wonder if i am doing the best i am able for my bee friends. it is a continuous learning experience. one can learn a great deal from simply sitting and observing.
simple
thought often overlooked
