>>I quite often find my fall honey crop to be as light or almost as
light as my summer honey. ...sent sample to a friend who IDed it as
bamboo.
Interesting, I did not notice Japanese knotweed (bamboo) where we
move the hives to but there may be scattered pockets. I loved the
color and flavor. It had a hint of this year's goldenrod honey with
some additional tones.
By the way, what's the shape of the hive inspection service upstate
NY? As you know, we don't have an inspector down state on Long
Island.
I find the requirement for any inspector not to own any hives
strange. By keeping my own hives, I can have a meaningful
conversation with other area beekeepers about what's going on this
season. It's easy to get out of touch if you don't go through your
own hives.
