I Want to Help the Honey Bees

I love my girls so very much. This is my second harvest for the year of about 45 pounds of honey. All from just 2 bee hives.
They are now settling down for winter.

Interesting! I wish people would post stories like this. 👌

@SW-User Just a little I have to admit. My interests are not main stream. But keeping bees is a wonderful thing to do... even though it takes a fair bit of effort to jar honey. All my friends line up for a jar around this time each year.

@Hanging2 That's great! I was actually thinking what you gonna do with all those jars. 😊

@SW-User I give them to my friends. They love the honey and I have the hobby to make sure that there are plenty of bees.
That's amazing.
You're really blessed.🐝❤🤗

Your girls as in your bees?
Hanging2 · 51-55, M
Yes. All the working bees are girls. The lazy bees are the drones which are male. It is very much a matriarch society.@Spica

@Hanging2 Lol. That’s refreshing.

Mate, mind if I ask where you are? I have a couple of hives and thought it might be a bit late to do a harvest. 45lbs is fantastic.

I live in Australia. We have had a long warm summer here. This is the second harvest. The first was about 60 pounds. I could have robbed more but I am always cautious going into winter. I like them to have plenty of food so that they can kick start in spring.@Bushmanoz

I see you are from Oz. Did you do any good?@Bushmanoz

@Hanging2 yeah, in Vic, been meaning to grab it, and I do the same, I prefer they have as much as they need over taking the honey. It's my first year with ideals, but things have been a bit busy and I haven't had a chance, so maybe Sunday. I will let you know. Did a small harvest earlier in the year, about 6 frames, the honey was amazing
