Honecombs in a Field
Did your teenage son leave his gym shoes in the hive? Hopefully not, but it might smell that way. If your blessed to live by goldenrod, this great fall forage is a honeybee favorite, although it does make the hive smell like a locker room to we humans. It sure gets my sinuses going too! The honey still tastes great though, but it may be honey that your leaving on for their winter fuel anyway. Winter. Argh. So hard to have that word on the radar again. Start thinking about fall; Gasp, but yes. When you take the supers off, do you have containers for that honey? I have friends that save their honey jars for me. They don't have to be sealed so any glass jar will do.
