Honey

This is my first year with bees.  And I think we did pretty well together.  We had our highs and lows.  I only was stung twice, but I gained a new appreciation for how much it hurts.  All, in all, a success.  And I think the bees and I are prepared for winter, as prepared as we can be that is.  I hear that Oregon is expecting another harsh winter.  So, perhaps it will be 50/50 for the bees.  Hopefully not.  I like these bees.  I'd like to keep them around. 

I took a smidge of honey from the bees this year.  Curiosity got the best of me.  I left them the rest though.  Good job bees.  Making honey is one thing humans will never be able to do (hopefully).
