Well, my time has been split between my beautiful daughter (whom, like most new borns, can’t tell the difference between night and day), my wife and the bees. The mesquite honey that I had thought they were making turned out to be mixed with wildflowers from the New Mexico desert. Rodeo dried up after the middle of May and we the bees didn’t do quite as well as we had hoped. However, we did extract som very nice unique desert honey. It will be packed under the label New Mexico Wildflower 09. I am going to be conservative with this honey and sell it those loyal customers who take the time to call or stop by the farmers market in Taos. I just really don’t have enough to sell to my retailers. Some thing special for those who know Simply Honey.
I have had a few people ask about the latest alfalfa/clover honey that I have packed. This honey is very thin. I apologize for this. This was extracted hastly at the end of last summer during a period of high moisture. I added nothing to this honey while packing it…..it is as the bees made it. There wasn’t much and I was hoping I wouldn’t have to pack it but we are REALLY low on local honey from last summer. The bees have started making honey now but it won’t be ready to extract untill late July. I will post here as soon as I have a new crop available for sale.
Thanks, Brent
