Ted, our bees are still in the honey making process. As of about a week ago, I saw at least 10 frames throughout the colonies that would be certainly capped by now. We still have over one month that the bees can harvest their golden gold for human consumption. Then come September 1, we do not take any more, we leave all for the bees and we begin to feed sugar syrup, just in case, for the winter stores.....nothing taken after September 1. We can still have a very strong honey flow during September, then around October 5, we no longer feed, the bees will not have time to `cure`any s.s. by that point in time. Did I go off topic, sorry if I have. Beautiful, wonderful day, those golden days of summer. Cindi
