Exciting Nug! We are just on the heals of the flow. I had so much swarming this year I don't know if I'll get any extra this year. But that okay, as long as I have enough to get them thru the winter.

Beautiful frames of golden goodness there. Happy for you  ;D 8)

Congratulations!!

That first honey is always the best!

And shhhhhh!  Don't tell you're family or friends.  They'll ask to buy it from you, but what they are really hoping is you'll just give them some.  And with only two frames, you don't really have enough to share yet.  The first batch is all yours.

I agree, for personal use I think less fussy means more healthy honey perhaps.....

Someone told me to save a little of my first harvest.  They were right I'm glad I did.  I'm always amazed what the little buggers can make when it all works out.  There nothing like the first taste of that first honey.  Congratulation's Nugget :eusa_dance:
