Dave - "When are you going to rob the bees?" -Never robbed a hive and never will. Many old sayings in beekeeping. One I used to hear and heard again about four years ago. I was coming up the side roads in New Mexico making my way around a weigh scale when I saw an old beekeeper sitting in the back of his pickup truck in an old tattered lawn chair with a homemade sign saying "Honey for Sale". I stopped and inquired about the dark and the light honey he was selling. The beekeeper said the light honey was his "spring squeezing" and the dark was his "fall squeezing" I could tell by the grease under his nails that he spent a great deal of time working on the old "bee truck" he was sitting in. I hoped he at least washed his hands before squeezing the honey I bought. The honey looked clear but was crystallized about a quarter way up the quart mason jar ( as was all the jars in the two cases he offered for sale). Several people bought honey while I was at the stand and others were pulling in as I left. I had to chuckle as I pulled back on the highway as I had not heard extracting honey referred to as "squeezing" for over twenty years.
