[Today’s run: rest day]<\/p>\n
Our beehive operation this year is down to just one working hive.<\/p>\n
We started off the year with big plans.\u00a0 We were going to split two working hives and make a total of four.\u00a0 We purchased more equipment and did all the moving around.\u00a0 But the bees didn’t cooperate.\u00a0 We did get some spring honey, but the bees all seemed to want to congregate in one of the four hives.<\/p>\n
That was that.\u00a0 We closed down the other three and just finished the year with one.<\/p>\n
On Friday we took one of the honey supers off of the hive and today we processed the honey.\u00a0 We ended up with 15 jars.\u00a0 We hope that will cover the requirements for Christmas presents, and etc.\u00a0 It should work out.<\/p>\n
Now the kitchen is sticky from dripped honey.\u00a0 My wife cleaned it up.\u00a0 The best method is to use lots of hot water.\u00a0 But it seems to be sticky for a day or two until things have been washed over a couple of times.<\/p>\n
And, now I have a bunch of wax I need to melt down to make candles and wax bars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
