As winter progressed this year, we became more and more suspicious that the bees didn't survive. On warm days, not a single soul could be seen flying from the hive. When the weather warmed, we opened the hive to see a few bees trickling out, but turns out they were thieving honey. Both hives were completely dead. We're still not 100% certain as to the cause, but we do know they left behind a BUNCH of honey!!
Finished processing it today and ended up with this:
60+ pounds of raw honey!
Stayed tuned. We're going to try and make beeswax candles from the comb.
