Here are a few updates.
Yesterday we added a 2nd box to the bee hives. So now they are double hives, its to grow the hive and make sure they dont swarm, which since its the 1st year. I dont have to really worry abour it. But in about a month. I will be adding another smaller box, that will be to harvest the excess honey. The 1st year, since its a ndw hive and needs to get settled. I wont be getting much honey. I am guessing maybe 20 pounds. Next years honey forcast, if everything goes right. With 2 hives and my current set up. It will be about 200 lbs.
My gf helped, and is getting involved in the bees. We can walk the land and see bees on the flowers. Its quite interesting. I have family visiting in a few weeks. So i will be having nieces and nephews going into the hives with me.
Yesterday we did collect a small amount of honey, and comb. The bees will fill every nook and cranny with comb, until there is only enough space for a single bee to go both ways. So u need to remove the excess. Its called 'burr comb' it had some honey on it, u can chew the comb, which has wax on it as well, very tasty.
