I’ve been away from the bees, they’ve now all been fed, and now wrapped up for the winter. We will see what happens this winter. A few chores left to do, before the frosts, mouse guards to go on hives, external insulation on some of the hives, and finally this year treatment, nearer Christmas Day, a trickle of oxalic acid, to knock down the remainder of varroa mites.
The final honey from this Spring harvest has now been creamed and jarred, to create a creamed or soft set honey.
New jars and corkscrew bit for creaming honey
Jarring the Honey
Jarring the honey, each jar is at least 340 grams
final jars waiting to set (yes, that's a hive outside the window!)
All complete and jarred!
So, if you are in the “honey club”, there could be a jar, in the mail to you shortly!
