So far ,so good .
When I last checked ,Sunday ,everything in the Aronia field looked good . No deer pulling them up and we have gotten some rain on the farm. In fact the last few days have been wet and unseasonably warm . Great for the plants but the Honey harvest has been put on hold until it cools down .
We did manage to pull off 3 supers over the weekend . We have 5 more to go . When the weather is this warm and the Bees aren’t clustered in the bottom of the hive ,it’s no time to harvest honey . They get a bit pissy .
In any event it was a beautiful weekend at the farm with the fall foliage at peak . The next few days call for rain and cooler temperatures here . Not great for pulling Honey but with any luck we can start getting what we have ready to bottle .
A farmers work is never done .
