Honey Checkup

I was so excited to go check my bees this week to see the progress they have made with the honey and I was not disappointed. My bees have been drawing out comb on more of the frames and filling them with honey, I cant wait to extract. I did grab a few frames from the brood box and add them to the honey super and put empty ones in their place. This way I think I will get more honey. So far I think I have about 9 frames of honey between the two hives. I don't know how much that translates into pounds but I hope a lot.

I went to a beekeepers meeting with the Utah County Beekeepers Association today and it sure is nice to have questions answered by people who know what they are talking about. I also picked up some more unassembled honey supers. All I need to do now is just put it all together and paint it and I will have more room for more honey. Oh yeah just a side note on honey, someone at the meeting brought some honey they bought in Yellowstone and it was dark purple in color (that was the natural color). It was huckleberry honey, and it was so so so good. It was like something you would put on your pancakes and lick the plate clean good. I can't wait to taste my own home grown blend. This makes me hungry just thinking about honey :)
