Honey season has me going in all different directions, every day is a new beekeeping adventure. Having enough equipment for growing apiaries is a challenge every year we try to plan for it in the winter time as best we can. Rainy days like yesterday allows me time to assemble new equipment and repair damaged equipment... Today we work bees. Happy Sunday folks

I finally got the last of the winter wraps off the bee colonies this morning. By this afternoon a few were looking like this. Many are looking super strong this spring,the rest id consider average for this time of year. We got through winter with just 5-6% loss Going to be a very busy summer. I'm in the process of setting up three more bee yards to populate with splits and spring nucs.. I'm already short on equipment but I have lots to assemble. 🤷🏼🔨🔨

And just like that Maple season 2025 is done. It was a good year started off cold and slow and when it came on it kept coming can't ask for more than that..
First and foremost I'd like to thank the landowners that are gracious enough to let us use their property to do what we do to carry on this New England tradition of maple syrup. We need a large collection of trees to be able to gather the sap. I'd like to thank my wife for her support in all my endeavors leaving early and getting home late keeping me up to date with weather reports and being understanding when I'm never home for dinner..I'd also like to thank a couple friends that are always willing to offer advice and help in any way possible. I have one sidekick corey who shows up on a regular basis helps me run the evaporator(I'm easily distracted) always has good ideas and good conversation.
Also I'd like to thank all the regular customers that come down for visits and make purchases all year long. I'm very proud to be able to create this product and put it on your table for you and your family to enjoy.
Thank you!! 🍁
Now I got to get this all cleaned up and see if my bee suit still fits because the bees have been calling my name looking for attention..🐝🍯

👎 cold rainy weather hasn't been helpful for maple production, but a day off from cooking syrup did help me catch up on getting orders bottled and some cleaning on the evaporator and in the sugar house.
Looks like we may have a few more cooks this week. We have never cooked into the 2 nd week in April. The rest of the season is gonna be on a day to day basis.. 🍁🍁🍁

As the season nears the end we have had some real sap flowing kind of weather. I've been cooking most days this week and We'll be cooking again all day today (3/29) starting around 10:30.. this morning we will break our all-time production record making for a great season and we'll keep going until the season is done, could be a couple days could be another week???🤷‍♂️
If you're out and about stop on down, not sure how the roads will be but so far they don't seem terrible.

Sap ran strong and steady all day, we'll be cooking syrup all day tomorrow..
