NH - I wasn't aware that your orchards were remote. I thought they were around your home base. Good news 3 were taken. Hopefully a few more will be dropped. Good luck if you're out for bear.
I had the kids sucking it right out of the comb a few weeks ago. They thought it was so cool. I love adding it to barbecue sauce for basting ribs. My dad has eaten a peanut butter and honey sandwich almost everyday for 40+ years. I think you are the first person I have heard say they don't like honey.l know honey is great for health reasons but, I just can't seem to acquire a taste for it. Too sweet for me. I've tried it for allergies and it's worked but, I have to gag it down.
I won't have an answer until next spring on the apples but the plots were covered with bees all summer. I guess that could help the clover come in thicker but it is already pretty thick. Here is our sampler. When the owner checked on the hive somehow he didn't close it so they built a comb coming right out the top. This is what they built in one week with a gap in the top.So have those of you that have the bees seen better fruiting of your trees and impacts in your plots and the like?
I have a couple of apple trees and they have not fruited yet and I am wondering if a hive would help. I have a few locals that work with bees that I could contact and see if they would be interested - I'm not interested in the honey, just the potential benefit of better pollination - if it will help.
Here's some irony for you...the guy who doesn't like honey (me) just got 8 quarts of it for "allowing" the beekeepers to have bees here :eek::D I thanked him again for keeping them here...and of course for the honey. Guess I'll be giving some gifts of honey this year
I got stung in the head over 25 times when I was a kid...I haven't been right since
The bee seminar I went to they had bottles of clover honey and buckwheat honey. The buckwheat honey was a little darker.
Figured I had to at least try the honey that I was given...dang, I just may like honey o_O
