pumpkins

luminas, and some field pumpkins and Atlantic Giants.....largest one is 35 lbs. We gave up the giant pumpkin wish for this year due to a lack of irrigation! Maybe next year! We learned a lot!

more views from Sunday, Sept. 29th....warm weather streak is over, and more seasonable temps are here!

bottling the honey

raw unprocessed UP honey

I am experimenting with some 4 and 8 oz bottles...with wire and milagros attached!

pumpkins and sunflowers

Cloudy, rainy day here. The bees are beginning treatments for their winter, and the pumpkins and sunflowers are still trucking.

bottled sunshine!

I guess it is lighter than we thought it would be. I will let it set a couple of days before I bottle to let the bubbles out. We think we got between 75 and 100 lbs of honey...we are still waiting for the capping wax to strain out. Bless the BEES!
