We've had a crazy spring with warm weather starting in March and then cool rain after the warm snap. I didn't really quite know what to make of it all but I guess the bees did. We have hives heavy with honey already and will do a small but significant harvest this coming weekend.
The honey will be somewhat unusual as normally we'd not harvest until at least July, when clover and basswood would be present and contributing factors in the honey. The honey we take in this weekend will really be spring honey with fruit tree blossom and dandelion being important nectar providers to it.
Expect honey at River Valley Market in a week or two. It'll be a special but small run of unique honey, only from an oddball year like this.
