Sounds about exactly like what we have going on. When you get full capped frames of light colored honey, it's easy to smile.

Started two hives this year. With "nukes", not just a package of bees. Out season is pretty short too. Hoping to talk to a few locals about overwintering them. Will take a lot of feed, especially this year, and they might need wrapped too. Starting an orchard and I always garden, so if I can keep them going I'll at least have pollination helpers even if they never get good production.

Love seeing your success.
