       I produced some honey that I would not give to anyone, let alone sell
it.  I did this for years until I got some sites that produced the quality
that I wanted.  I moved most of my hives to that site.  This was many years ago
and each year since has produced a little different honey each time form that
site.  I started to mark the frames that were capped each month with a marker
(the bees don't like the smell of a marker).  Taking a sample of frames each
month to extract and see what the honey was like.  Balancing that honey with the
bloom in the area the month before, I found the best for each site.  I tried
to plant to get the better honey with little success.  Some of the red honey
was only good for BBQ honey mix.
