    Yeah plus almost all honey you buy from stores like Walmart or grocery is not real honey it is water down using corn syrup to increase to amount of volume they can produce about the only way to get real raw honey is to buy it from a beekeeper

    I decided to get a few chickens to have some fresh eggs. I now have somewhere around 70. I wonder how man hives I will end up with?

    I have a friend and his daughter that raise bees. They know I like the honeycomb and always add a big chunk in the mason jar when I trade Sac A Lait for honey. I think I'll go get me a big spoon of that comb and chew on it now that I'm thinking about it.

    Local honey is delicious. Lot of hard work to get it. I watched a video of the bees they are hard working little critters

    I looked at some of the observation hives that they have. You can see the bees work and build the comb.
