There has been a rush on local honey this summer and I have sold about 70 gallons in 1/2 pint, pint and quart jars. Several of my outlets need honey and it too late to take any from my hives. If we have a winter like last year, the bees are going to need it. I lost three hives last winter and a friend of mine was on the road working last winter and he lost 30 hives, a hard blow.
