Looks great. Brings back good memories with my grandpa in Texas. He had 500 hives. Miss those days. Thanks

nice looks like lots of work It wouldn't be so much work if I was better organized. I need to get a better way to get it uncapped. I dont use a uncapping knife, I dont like all the extra wax. I am thinking of getting the harmony Farms uncapper. I also need to get a electric extractor.

Yes it's for sale. 8 a pound 4 half pound. I sold out fairly quick with the last batch I got. Left a few people with orders in. I sold about half last time to one guy, we made a deal and he took it. I figured he will resale it. Nice job Matt. And I'll ask too... Any of it for sale?

That is fantastic, guys! I love honey and it is darn expensive but we buy a lot of it.

Looking good Matt. What’s your major nectar flows in Oklahoma?
I usually leave everything in 5 gallon buckets and bottle as I need it. When the buckets sugar up, I throw a band heater on them for a day or two to heat it all back up. Took off 36 gallons on July 7th. Probably do about the same in late September. September is Goldenrod time here in Pa. To be honest I wasn't prepared for big honey harvest. I only have one honey bucket. I will be getting a few more and will be leaven it there till needed. I new I had 20 or 25 pounds sold so I just bottled it all. The main one in early spring is clover. Lots of clover close by with yellow hope and other wild flowers. The majority of that honey came from a hive in the middle of town and one at the river. The river stayed flooded all spring so I guess all the flower bloomed out after the water fell, dont know. The one in town must have hit all the gardens and flowers at people's houses.
