Honey Harvest

I’m so excited, I almost can’t stand it.  I’ve ordered the glass jars, found a way to press the honey without a lot of trouble, got a food grade bucket to put the extracted honey, made up labels for the jars…. IT’S HONEY HARVEST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I hope……..  

In a few days when the jars arrive, I’ll don my bee suit and take a top box off at least one hive, to see how things look.  My only concern is estimating 50 lbs of honey…. that’s approximately what I need to leave on the hives.  If I wasn’t such a kid about it I would wait til Spring to take any honey off, but I can’t….  I’m hoping to have some 2 oz jars for folks who want to buy just enough to taste the honey first and some 8 oz. jars for the hard core honey folks.    

Please let there be honey, please let there be honey, please let there be honey…………..
