Beautiful color Marty! My bees main forage is blackberries and yellow start thistle. The thistle makes for a premium honey. What would be some of your larger forages?

Good for you!   :eusa_clap:  I'm sure it tastes great!  I really felt a sense of accomplishment when I got some the first time.

Nothing tastes quite as sweet as the first honey crop from your own hives.  :yes:
