We were blessed to harvest nearly 100 pounds of fruit this year between peaches and apples!

Our fruit tree count is up to 12 now in addition to grapes, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Hoping to start bees again next season after taking some time off.

Checked Hive #1 yesterday lots of burr comb full of honey and brood. Alot of keepers remove burr but in this case I chose to leave it. Bees are working hard to store up for winter.
