@saltoearth.bsky.socialThe first year in over 30, in which I harvest no honey at all. The rain was too much…. I did swap around a few frames to give weak hives a better chance at over-wintering. This held for #apiscerana and Mellifera #honeybees too. I’ll still need to feed…
@saltoearth.bsky.socialA sunny day - no rain predicted, so I’ll do this year’s honey harvest. This will be the worst harvest ever - from just 3 hives. Hardly worth sticky-ing the equipment. Fewer hives with bees this year and several without excess for the coming winter. I’ll feed them sugar syrup.
