Hi All Here,
We found a great guy who actually loves bees and is being wonderful helping us remove the bees from our walls and moving them into a bee box.
The hive is HUGE!! We have more honey then I can even begin to count. So, suggestions please. Whats the best way to keep it? Is there a good book on bee keeping? (We have about another 20 hives in the lemon orchard.) Should we think about selling it? Gosh, what do we do now?
Thank you for your help and advice,
Carlota |

| There are a lot of good books on beekeeping. As far as the honey is concerned, bottle and sell it! Or contact an experienced beekeeper to work with; maybe one will sell on commission. |

| We did bottle it up. What are the laws on selling honey? I'm in California where should I go? After doing some reading I found out that darker honey sells for less. The bees eat from the lemon blossoms. Is that why its deep amber? The flavor is great, I have enough for presents right now and will have enough to sell very soon. Which beekeeping book do you like the best? |
