@thebeeranchers just set up three new hives (30,000 in total) of Italian Honey Bees at @florencefamilyfarms . We should start seeing honey by September, and if we can keep the rain coming next winter, these will produce 80 to 100 pounds each of the most delicious Mt.Tam Wildflower Honey you've ever tasted. This is the 10th hive that @tolanflorence and I have started, I think we're finally getting the hang of it. Bees are fascinating.... #Marin #California [25]
