that I've bottled. Ever.

Honey Pic

This is what I got from one frame I stole the other day from my best hive. The rest of the super is about ready to be removed. This is chunk honey, mostly clover, from Alpharetta, GA. It's not pretty, and won't win any awards, but man, is it good!! I also have a piece of comb in a tupperware container sitting on the breakfast table. The rest was crush and strain. My wife wasn't a fan of the mess, but I wanted to figure out what I was doing with one frame before I had an entire super to deal with!
Thanks for all the advice on this site!

now ain't that sweet? and I ain't just talkin' about the honey, but the feelin' of accomplishment of havin' you first honey in a very nice glass jar. set it up in a sunny window and don't it just look like a sparkin' jewel?

well done and a nice color too! just mentioning color will get you into a heated debate with about every beekeeper I know. award winner?? well I don't know.... in my mind the real question has always been how does it look and taste.

once again well done and thanks for sharing the pictures.

you must be a WVU supporter?

Thanks Tecumseh!
Let me tell you, it tastes good, and I don't care if I'm biased!

BTW, yes, I am a Mountaineer, born and raised.


Careful jdagpatton.....

Nice! I think it looks stupendous. I got my first bottle a few weeks back. Nothing better... I couldn't even wait for the air bubbles to work out before bottling one up to look at!

Wishing you many more.
