Dang, that looks scrumptious. I love fresh honey.

My first honey was a girl from Orem named Corine.

WHen I was a kid my grandma used to give me honeycomb to chew on. It was delciious and Mike's description is spot on. I am not sure where she got it from, as we did nto have hives, but I didn't worry about that too much.

I opened the hive for the first time since last fall. The bees are doing well. I noticed vigorous activity coming in and out of the entrance. Workers coming in with pollen on their legs is usually an indication that hungry brood are being fed.
The structure of my hive is like this medium super medium super shallow super deep super (deep is on bottom). No bees in the top super, but bees just below that. Honey AND larvae (brood), in the next medium super down. All of that is a good sign. I'm prepared to finally get a decent amount of honey, in this my third season with the hive. And just in time before the world collapses. |

Bee sting near my left armpit did a number to me. Left arm swelled to a fairly impressive size. I am 60 hours out now, and finally starting to get back to normal.
I hate to think what would have happened if I had been stung multiple times. |
