Mid Summers night Party!
Everything’s planted (a bit late because of so much rain)
But the Bees are going strong & tomorrow I’ll be working on making sure they’re Happy!

Foggy start to the day, but that didn’t keep the Bees from flying! Had 4 hives came through the winter & now split to make 8 😊
They seem to be doing Great, and even left us enough to make some jars of Honey!

It was a cool and somewhat rainy Memorial Day weekend on the Farm, but that didn’t keep us from splitting the Bees! All 4 hives made it through the winter & if things go good, we’ll have 8. Fingers crossed!

The Bees gave us more Honey than I had thought this year.
Some a Golden Color, & some as Dark as old motor oil.
But why?
On the banks of the Delaware River & its tributaries grows the Invasive Knotweed, or Japanese Knotweed. When it goes into bloom, at the end of the Summer, bees bring the pollin/nectar back to the hive. As soon as this happens, the honey turns from a Golden Color to a Dark Molassis Color. Still sweet honey, but more of a Caramel flavor.
Good, just a little different.
One of the hives was still of a golden color…so perhaps those bees didn’t forage so far!

The Fall is in full swing on the Farm. With the first frost possible this week, we took in the Butternut Squash & Hope more of the Pumpkins will turn Orange before they shut down for the season.

Today’s a Rainy Day, but Summer’s been Buzzing on the Farm!
Bees are doing what they do, Garden’s producing more Squash than we know what to do, Fields have been Hay’d, & the Corn is at least 10 feet High 🌽
Can’t wait to see what else the Summer Brings!
