Happily, Ann has been able to harvest 2 heavy supers from her hive on the coast of San Francisco Bay. We’ve haven’t been able to figure out why that hive in that particular location has been so successful, in that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of forage for them … it must be sea grass and other wild plants we don’t recognize as bee plants. She does have a few fruit trees in that yard, and the honey does seem a little fruitier this year. In any case, this is their good 3rd year without replacing a queen or much hive management other than flipping the deeps and feeding during derths. My basement, where the extractor lives, smells heavenly!
