Thanks for sharing!! Great pictures. You do bee hives - you probably have the best pure honey in the county! Damn I can remember when ... and the combs were good to chew on, too.

 

[strollingbones]

you can still chew the combs but most beekeepers are trying to keep the wax combs....takes a lot of bee energy to replace them...plus people always ask about comb honey but then they dont buy it....we produce an excellent honey

Nice

Nice. I drove out to the Lake (Erie). I wish I would have taken my camera. The shoreline is ice and piles of blown snow but you can still see the water about a quarter of a mile out.
Funny how many people are out there looking at the lake this time of year.

I'll bet!! Would love to be able to get some of it.

the flavor of the honey depends on the blooms the bees are working....

bones, you've inspired me. I have to go to SC next week for a trade show (guns). May make a week out of it. Couple of nights in SC, then I'll pack up and head to NC to get in some fishing. Probably work my way from Charlotte, down to Brevard, then over to Robbinsville and back home.

Great pics! Nothing like NC in the snow!

Nice pics, bones. About your bees... One of the young kids that lives nearby has had a couple of hives here on our farm for a couple of years. Last year the bees in both the hives all died. Also from a couple of other hives he has stuck here and there. Something about a bee virus going around. Have you lost any bees due to this virus thing?

Your cats and dogs are beautiful Bones.

LOL

Well i know that silly.... do you know what kind of flowers they work and do you have specific honeys "flavors"? I enjoy the subtle differences in flavor depending on what type of flower the honey comes from.
