Sweet!
Congratulations on your first honey crop! Don't make the mistake I did and give it all away to friends and relations. This is where your bees start paying you back!
ReplyDeleteWell, quite! It's surprising how many people 'volunteer' to take a jar - but as you can see, our first crop is quite tiny. I took a jar around to our next-door neighbours as they have been very enthusiastic about our bees - they've even set up a special watering place for them!
ReplyDeleteI reckon our honey currently has a market value of about £85 a pound - and that's just to break even!!
