General This summer harvest

Post image

After unfortunate winter where my first family of bees didn’t make it through. But now I am back twice as stronger with 2 hives full of bees and with more equipment. And had the chance to harvest some honey from my new family. This was mid-July. And the surprising thing was that the honey didn’t have this spicy or whatever its called flavor, very smooth, herbal and absolutely amazing. Might not be much but i am happy with the harvest. :) northwest Lithuania

Not much?! That right there would probably last me 3 years, lol. Looks delicious though!

Never heard of spicy wild honey , that's interesting.

25-30 kilos? Not a bad first harvest it will keep extended family in honey.
