Meli Farms

Amber Summer Honey just dropped at the Mel Farms stand. It’s rare that we get a summer harvest but with all the rain the nectar flow never stopped. Honey will have different colors and taste throughout the year base on what flowers the bees are foraging. Spring honey is golden, summer is amber and fall will be very dark. Which one is your favorite? 🌺🌸💐🌷🌻🌼 🐝 🍯

Went into winter with 6 colonies and came out with 4. Not too bad considering we lost all of them last winter. When it’s above 50 degrees the girls come out to stretch their wings, so they are loving today. March is the toughest month for the bees because they start to get active and food supplies are low. We gave all of them a pile of sugar for their carbohydrates and a pollen party for their protein (their 2 main food groups). They should be good until flowers start to bloom. Also, all 4 queens have started to lay baby bees so heading in the right directions.

The 4 remaining hives are all flying today. We put out some frames from one of the colonies we lost to supplement their food supply. 66 days until spring!! 🤞

Last batch for the season is out at the Honey Stand. Get it while it last. We are all out of Golden but still have plenty of Dark. Now available in 1 Lb jars.
