What a beautiful impulse. Generosity and gentle persuasion in action while
thinking like a bee!

About half of this comb is now in jars and will be distributed at one jar per
household around the village on dog walks over the next few days. It will be
a present from the bees to the gardeners, of which we have many. A few are
of the "dandelions are weeds to be sprayed" variety but most are slowly
coming round to seeing that the reverse is true and allowing floral diversity
results in honey arriving on the doorstep.

This is newly harvested tree blossom honey, fruit trees and various maple
hybrids. We often get a heavy flow. Two of my super insulated hives (Warré
cross section but golden hive depth) built up very rapidly and each gave
two supers of harvest. In total one yielded 12.25 kg and the other 8.25kg.
Still plenty left in the main hive body for the bees.
