Something wrong there :lol: you have it made for you! The bees love you. Don't tell them you aren't thrilled :old

I appreciate the generous offer of sample pack -- everyone is loving it. But I'm not a honey user really. Oh, a spoon full now & then but when I gave my hives away, I had to stop the receiver from bringing more to me. ๐Ÿ˜‹. DD used it but a cup lasts me a couple yrs. Strange taste buds -- but I love liver & onions. ๐Ÿคฃ

Almost everyone has been enjoying the buckwheat, except for my family... must be something wrong with us...:idunno:gig
Seriously - your buckwheat is nothing like the buckwheat here. I'll have to see it the honey gal is at Brick-N-Barn (think it's this weekend) Brick-N-Barn is actually the old Betty Crocker (yeah that Betty Crocker) farm (house and barn).

Oh I appreciate it and all the hard work, I just don't like it, sounds like I have strange taste buds too...lol And, I have over 5 gallons of it! :gig

Next year, we will pull the supers off before the buckwheat blooms and leave it for the bees. That will make treating for varroa mites easier too.

That's interesting. I wonder if the buckwheat down there is a mixture of other nectars too. It all depends on what's blooming at the same time. Buckwheat is pretty much it around here, except for flowers in our yard and whatever other yards they nick it from.

You don't have to be burdened with the buckwheat honey, you can SEND some of it to me. I'll pay postage.
:love

If you really want some more, let me know how many bottles you would like.๐Ÿ’— Shipping is not cheap. It might be cheaper shipping usps rather than ups. They used to have boxes with a fixed rate. I will have to look into that.
