Not so smooth landing I made this weekend.
My wife and I went flying this weekend. She recorded the landing and once we reviewed the video at home, it looked like we were in a NASCAR crash. At any rate the landing was not all that bad. I am sure the bees do better than this though.

Honey Sells
We processed our cucumbers into dill pickles. Awesome!
I know it is unorthodox but it works fine for me.

This frame was only 50% capped, I did not extract this but thought it would give a good photo of the difference of capped and uncapped honey. The uncapped honey (in the lower half of the frame) contains too much moisture to extract and may spoil. You really need to extract only honey that is capped (unless you are a comercial operation and have a way to monitor and control moisture.
Zucchini (I think that is how you spell it)
Ok, this water mellon decided to grow on the fence, so I built a sling for it so it would not fall. My wife thought this was funny.

The word is now out that I have bees and honey and most folks really enjoy the fact that this is a local product and is good for their seasonal allergies. The garden has done well this year, in fact I just ate watermellon. (Delicious). Check out the photos of the garden.

August Honey
This past week (July 29) I extracted honey from two of my fathers hives (7 gallons) and from 2 of my hives (4.5 gallons). This honey is a little darker from the spring honey earlier this year. At any rate, the honey has a good taste.
