A Harvest Moon for the Harvest Season...taken from my bedroom window
It's harvest time. This week it's for honey. Maybe because we had an unusually warm summer, or because Vince has found an excellent hive location, (Thank You Marge!) the hives are heavier than they have ever been! 
When he went to extract the honey from the bees they were furious. We can not remember them ever being as active, or angry!
Today Vince will spin the comb. It will be interesting to see how many gallons of honey our hive produced. For those of you on the web, take the quiz to the right and guess how many gallons this hive produced from May to September.
In this shot, Valda is impressed with the weight of the comb. After last years many problems and disappointments (click here http://greears.blogspot.com/2008/08/bear-attack.html) We are thrilled to think that this years yield might actually be substantial.
Thank you Valda and Marge for your support of this years crop. Thank you also Marge for these excellent pictures!
