The wind gusts this morning at 4am took down my ro The wind gusts this morning at 4am took down my row of cedar trees out front and dropped one on the power lines crossing Harden Hill Rd. Luckily the one on the end had deeper roots or I would have had two crushed trucks. Plenty of cleanup work ahead of me today.

My front porch stand is stocked with different var My front porch stand is stocked with different varieties of Local Oconee County honey along with Oconee County Pollen. I have a limited supply of the highest quality and best tasting Tupelo Honey you will buy from any Tupelo producer this season. The Sourwood flow was bad in NE GA this season. The Sumac over bloomed it. I let my bees in Helen make honey from April till August and left the Sourwood mixed in. It produced some unique flavored GA Mountain Wildflower unlike any I have tasted. I do have some Sourwood that I produced in Murphy NC but I haven’t extracted it yet. It will be available before Christmas if the bees don’t eat it all first. I have some South GA Wildflower that I will have bottled and available in the next couple of weeks. If you know where the porch stand is you know. If you need to know PM me. Please respect my privacy and don’t post my home address in the comments. 🐝🍯#hardenhillhoney

This time of the year the conditions in a new yard This time of the year the conditions in a new yard can change quickly. Checked this yard yesterday morning and all hives were good, even the one being robbed. Came by just now to pick up some equipment and discover this. There are 50 or so big hives in this yard so when robbing breaks out the target doesn’t have a chance, no matter how large the population is or how small the entrance is. The hives on this trailer are full of Sourwood honey from NC. Will have to pull it all tomorrow for sure. At least they are having a high priced sweet treat.

We were checking on some of the bees that we have had on Sourwood. It’s been a tough year for Sourwood. I pulled a sample from one of my hives there, so watch for my upcoming report in my next post.#sourwood #sourwoodhoney #hardenhillhoney #localhoney #local #honey #shoplocal #watkinsvillega #downtownwatkinsville #watkinsvillegafood #watkinsvillegahoney #watkinsville #oconeecountyga #oconeecountyhoney #oconeecounty #swarmcapture #swarmcatcher #swarmcatchers #bushcraftcoffeeco #bushcrafthoney #bushcrafthoneyco #bushcraftbees
Spent the afternoon checking on one of my mountain Spent the afternoon checking on one of my mountain bee yards in Helen, GA. This trailer has 20 hives and has been here since April. It has produced 60 supers (8-frame) of honey prior to the load it contains now. There’s 44 on now. I removed the queen excluders when I pulled the last round of supers just in case the queens wanted s little extra laying room. A few laid one round in the middle frames of the lower super(s) but overall I will probably get 30 full supers off the final round. These are double deep 8-frame hives. They all are alive and well populated after 5 months of hard work making honey. #hardenhillhoney #localhoney #local #honey #shoplocal #watkinsvillega #downtownwatkinsville #watkinsvillegafood #watkinsvillegahoney #watkinsville #oconeecountyga #oconeecountyhoney #oconeecounty #swarmcapture #swarmcatcher #swarmcatchers #bushcraftcoffeeco #bushcrafthoney #bushcrafthoneyco #bushcraftbees

Just finished checking on the hives I have at @lon Just finished checking on the hives I have at @longshot_farms and they are doing great. These hives have been here since the beginning of the nectar flow. I have purposely left them “unattended”. Meaning I only checked the hives from the outside twice since they were set. They all produced honey, some more then others. The two short stacks swarmed the week I set them. They successfully requeened but you can see the difference in production compared to hives that didn’t swarm. All the boxes above the bottom brood boxes are full of honey. No queen excluders so there is some queen activity in the center frames of the larger hives. No more than three frames each. Honey above the first super will be harvested from the three larger hives. Hives are still bringing in maintenance levels of nectar due to access to abundance of clover. #hardenhillhoney #longshotfarms

Here I’m preparing to remove 150 pounds of honey Here I’m preparing to remove 150 pounds of honey, one deep box and two medium boxes, (30 frames) of Harden Hill Honey from a single deep brood box hive. This production is from the 2021 May nectar flow in Oconee County GA. Don’t let anyone tell you not to expect to make honey from a first year Nuc. It’s all about proper and timely management. #hardenhillhoney #localhoney
The wait is over! Started extracting 2021 Harden H The wait is over! Started extracting 2021 Harden Hill Honey yesterday. Getting several color and flavor variations from the April early spring frames. I’ll be extracting, bottling and delivering the remainder of the week. Local, raw, unfiltered, unheated, all natural Harden Hill Honey. Produced in Oconee County Georgia. “Local honey so raw and natural the only thing missing is the sting!”
