5 Weeks!

We are five weeks into market now. Five down, five to go!

Beekeeping update: Current weather and flower availability has caused the spring honey flow(times when nectar is plentiful enough for bees to produce large amounts of honey) to end. Fall honey flow will begin some time in middle august, so we can be expected to get back to work collecting honey then. To keep the bees strong, busy, and healthy, we are feeding them will sugar syrup(one pound sugar to pound of water) out of buckets. Each hive eats about ten pounds of sugar every three or four days. We will have plenty to do keeping the buckets filled.
