Had some local homeschool kids over today to teach them about bees, beekeeping and how to harvest honey.
I have about 40 pounds tied up in comb I needed to crush, so I gave them all potato mashers and let them liquify the stuff. Now begins the long process of straining and filtering it. What a PITA. Oh well, for $400, I suppose I can bother with it.
The buckwheat is blooming like crazy, and I’ve never seen such a dense concentration of bees on a plant in my life! The field just hums all morning, then they move to the clover in the afternoon. This stuff is really incredible! It’s all waist high now too.
