This years Honey Crop

Unread post by Guest »

Well, I did fairly well this year.
170 hives into the flow,. 200 hives, 150 complete boxes drawn foundation, and 33000 lbs honey out of the flow.
The canola flow seemed like it was going to be here forever, plugging every box I had and drawing every frame of foundation on the hive beautifuly. The heat knocked back my sunflower crop but rains came on end of Aug bringing the Buckwheat back on giving me tonnes of BW honey!! I have never apperciated Buckwheat producers so mcuh before now, I think I might even grow some next year..
Hives are being fed now, cooler weather has set in, all seem heavey with honey. Might even snow tonight!!
