the honey harvest this year hasn't been what was expected. bad year, too much rain, lots of heat? i dunno. i opened my top bar and it was full of brood (babies bee cells) and maybe a gallon of honey. i did a little maintenance and left it with them. the 4 colonies didn't pan out like i had hoped, but they are coming next year. well here in a month or so. already boxed, just waiting on the word to go and pick them up.
