>>208675We always leave the fall honey to get the bees through the winter and harvest after the spring honey flow, usually the last week of May or the first week of June. That's a really good haul especially for such a young hive and it being fall. Did you get anything off of it in the spring? Call the water company and tell them you'll remove hives from meter boxes for $20 a pop and you'll be swimming in young hives next spring.
