With the first two weeks on vacation the bees had to wait until the last weekend before I removed the honey. We took four full honey magazines – which will produce a good crop-although I do not have packaged it yet. Planning the next weekend.
I always leave a super on each hive to survive the winter. Some beekeepers believe this is a waste of good honey – but I think that the bees become more healthy, if they are eating their own honey rather than sugar substitute.
While inspection of hives I took my notebook out of the Toolbox to find it had been leaked to some water – and all this seasons records literally was dissolved. Quite extraordinary! So my records are now my rusty old memory and odd blog entry. A doctrine that use a location — perhaps indelible ink or something?
