Summer Moon of the First Harvests
A possibly record honey harvest. From just one hive. Not sure how to account for the situation but this plucky little colony has put weight (honey) in all four honey supers, at least one is full, and that meant I had to add a fifth and sixth. The colony plus supers now exceeds my 5′ 7″ so I had to use a ladder to add the last two boxes.

When I went outside today, sweatshirt on (for the long sleeves and bulk), gloves (I am trainable.) and the veil, it was like moving in pea soup. It was the heat and the humidity. Caring for multiple hives in this kind of weather would be brutal.
BTW: You’re not considered past the amateur or hobby level beekeeper until your number of colonies passes 50.
