I finally got my honey supers spun down this weekend, out of 4 supers I got 52lb of honey. Ill leave it a week or two to settle before I bottle it. It a little darker than last year and its got a very subtle taste of heather. I was hoping for a little more but we’ve not had the best summer.
Ive combined 4 of my weaker hives to make 2 stronger colonies so they get though winter. This takes up us down to 14 hives. Ill be getting them fed over the next few weeks so they have enough store for winter.

Wow, that’s a great yield, and good luck with wintering over. This is my first year and I am a bit worried about wintering over.
