After a rough few years, Stephen and Jack harvested honey last week! This year's crop has a delicious flavor that's a medium color and body.

Keep your eye out for when it's all bottled and ready to sell!

First time making mead. The recipe is called ancient orange mead. I just bottled what was in the jug. I'll have to wait a few more months for it to age before drinking.

Good news and bad news. Good news is that we have fresh honey for sale that was just harvested a few weeks ago. Bad news is that we are down from 5 to 2 colonies and one of the 2 is weak and was/is being robbed by other bees from neighboring colonies. If I can't stop the robbing that colony will be lost as well. Fingers crossed

When bees have removed the right amount of water from nectar they cap it with wax and it is officially honey. In order to harvest the honey we first have to remove the wax cappings. Here Stephen is using a hot knife to do so.

The tulip poplars are blooming! These flowers give off so much nectar at times you can see it running out of the flowers!

We inspected our hives today and so far all hives have survived the winter! We just hope the weather evens out soon though, we're not out of the woods yet.

Making candy boards. A little insurance policy to make sure the bees have enough food to make it through the winter.

We received this recipe from the Wake County Beekeepers Association. If you try it out let us know what you think!

Sea Salt and Honey Ice Cream (no ice cream maker needed, just a mixer)

¼ cup honey

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

½ teaspoon salt

Whip the whipping cream in a medium sized bowl with a mixer, starting on low speed, but slowly increasing to high speed Mix for 2 minutes until the whipping cream forms stiff peaks. Gently fold in sweetened condensed milk, honey, and salt into the whipped cream. Stir until ingredients are evenly combined. Pour into a freezer-safe, airtight container and drizzle the top with an additional tablespoon of honey. Seal the container. Freeze until solid, about 6 hours. Serve and enjoy!
