Well they are still drawing wax.
« on: September 21, 2014, 07:44:57 pm »
Slowly, but still making comb. The honey being stored is a dark amber color, ( forgot cell phone drat ) suspect is the overly abundant Spanish needle. Looks like the loquart tree's are a few weeks away from blooming. Am delaying pulling honey, goldenrod is blooming but haven't seen the really dark honey, nor smell of goldenrod.

After extracting, I put the supers (4) back on the two hives.  I plan on checking them next weekend to see if there's any more honey.  After that, I'll start preparing for winter.
