Where in the stack was it, the bottom? Sorry, this is my first season with a Warre and I have a ton to learn.HBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457255992295971802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655792169976182188.post-89690899737191168152012-09-25T11:36:08.038-07:002012-09-25T11:36:08.038-07:00Wow, 90 lbs of honey.

In three summers of beekeeping I have only gotten two stings, and that was our fault because we accidentally DROPPED a box, jarring the bees, killing a bunch of them and making them rightfully mad. I do wear protective gear, but feel pretty safe around them.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867572450926221667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655792169976182188.post-55873284359758109732012-09-21T04:59:50.915-07:002012-09-21T04:59:50.915-07:00That is a lot of honey.

I'll watch others from afar.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.com
