Got some honey

First year beekeeping and the rains were brutal. I did manage almost 9 quarts from one hive and my other hive is a tad weaker and I didn't pull any from it. Finishing rendering down wax now.

Yup
First year for me too.
What I thought was gonna be a great harvest was a little disappointing.
9 pints.
20,000 inches of rain did not help one bit.
But……
Mine and my neighbors gardens benefited the most.

How much wax?

Slightly smaller than a bar of soap

I've kept bees for about 20 years. This year was my worst honey production year ever. Half of my hives I didn't get any honey from. I'm blaming it on the rain in May

I'm hoping I can find some local honey at our local farmer's market this Friday. Previous posts are making this look iffy.
