Loving the herd life
Wow, the solstice has come and gone, the days are already getting just a teensy bit longer, and the queens are starting to lay up brood deep in the heart of the cluster!
Spring must be just around the corner!
This was a tough year in central VA honeywise, I only harvested about 80lb, but I learned a lot. I came out of winter with all 8 hives thriving, and now headed into winter with 20 hives. Long story.
Oh - and I made 10g of mead, too, and bottled half of it as sparkling.
Here's lifting a glass to y'all and wishing you all the best in 2017!
