Hows everyones honey productin going?
Here is southern Iowa we've had a lot of
rain (seems like every other day)
I've talked to other beekeepers
and they are worried.

Rained here back in May something like 13 out of a 15 day period. Needless to say that was some valuable time lost. My first year for keeping bees, so i'm not worried. I realize this year is a growing and learning experience and may not harvest that much honey anyway. I do love honey and consume alot of it, but buy it from a local man who owns 150 hives and sells it at a good price compared to retail prices.
