Honey, Honey, and more Honey...

Our bees worked hard for us this year! We ended up getting 4 gallons of honey! We weren't really expecting to get much. They say usually your first year you don't get anything. You have to leave the bottom two boxes full of honey for the bees to survive over the winter and the rest is ours! We actually got about 8 gallons of honey, but our deal was to split our honey with the guy helping to take care of our hive. It is super yummy!



Here are some of the peaches from our tree this year. They were so much bigger than in years past, I think the bees may have had something to do with that!




We were busy one Saturday bottling peaches. I am hoping we get more grapes this year so we can bottle more grape juice!

Wow, look at all that stuff you got! I think it is so cute that you put it all in the little bears! I am always impressed at how domestic you guys are. Your canned peaches look so great!
