I get their newsletter.<BR/>I don't know about Wisteria. I've wondered that myself. Sounds like a question for Beemaster...<BR/>I checked the hive I extracted from. They've almost filled two more supers! I'll leave one for them, this time!<BR/>BTW, I'm Mountaineerfan on Beemaster and Beesource.<BR/>SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-70977696007242771122007-05-29T22:15:00.000-04:002007-05-29T22:15:00.000-04:00Steve, your honey sounds delicious!

I love the dark deep taste of the mostly poplar honey. <BR/><BR/>The honey from the shallow I harvested this weekend was gathered before the tulip poplar started blooming. My daughter tasted it and said it tasted like wisteria smells. That was what was blooming at the time the bees made this honey but I don't know if bees collect nectar from wisteria??Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-64456830500140137682007-05-29T22:10:00.000-04:002007-05-29T22:10:00.000-04:00Hi Steve, I use Avery labels #6570 - I do it on M...Hi Steve, I use Avery labels #6570 - I do it on MS Word and they do just fine - I think I had to download a template from the Avery website - they are not ideal labels in that they are not waterproof, but people like the cute little bee and I give my honey away so it doesn't matter. <BR/><BR/>I hope you'll come to the Metro Atlanta Beekeepers meetings - second Wednesday at 7 PM at Atlanta Botanical Garden in the GA Pacific Room by the parking lot. If you do, introduce yourself. I'm always there.<BR/>Linda TLinda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-14922507995464228022007-05-29T21:59:00.000-04:002007-05-29T21:59:00.000-04:00Linda,I live up in Alpharetta, and just extracted ...Linda,<BR/>I live up in Alpharetta, and just extracted my first super last week, and got about 35 pounds of honey. I'm pretty sure it's poplar, due to the color and flavor. Man, it's good! What type of labels do you use? I label my honey, but have problems getting MS Word to line up the print on the Avery labels I have, even though I use the right setting in the label maker. Do you just create a standard word doc, and then print onto the labels?<BR/>Love your site! I use it to check my own thoughts about what I'm seeing in the metro area!<BR/>SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-91700173647740353302007-05-29T06:17:00.000-04:002007-05-29T06:17:00.000-04:00"Kalofagoto" we used to wish in Greece Linda, that..."Kalofagoto" we used to wish in Greece Linda, that means to have strong health and eat-enjoy it all!!!BeeHappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359045871099657998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-86563777574552154792007-05-29T05:47:00.000-04:002007-05-29T05:47:00.000-04:00The honey looks wonderful Linda, I have just put i...The honey looks wonderful Linda, I have just put into jars the second harvest from my 2 hives, it is quite alot darker in colour and stronger tasting then the first harvest 2 months earlier - I would like to know where the little darlings were foraging, as I live in the city there are so many places for them to fly to within 3-5 kilometres, including Botanical Gardens and a large park lined with 100yr old oaks, planes and elms.<BR/>The cold weather has finaly started here in NZ, beautiful days still and I noticed today there were quite afew bees out and about.Ngaiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413136577784656552noreply@blogger.com
