A Swarm in May is worth a load of hay.
A Swarm in June is worth a silver spoon.
A Swarm in July isn't worth a fly.
I caught seven pound swarm a couple days ago and expect to winter
it. I am feeding it as I do to all swarms. Is the meaning of this poem
that a swarm caught late in the season doesn't have time to build up to a
normal size before winter?
On another note...I will have more honey this year than I can eat
or sell and am planning onselling to a packer. Trouble is I know of no
wholesaler in the area. Also what is the current wholesale price and
what do they look for with regards to quality and standards?
