| There's some yummy honey in there! |
 |
| The Honeycomb Frame - inside there is pure honey. Doesn't look pretty now but the end result is lovely! |

Something rub off the bark so we had to put up fencing.

Fencing to keep deer away.

Weekend of October 2-3
We purchased 10 apple trees, 10 pear trees, 5 peach trees and 5 blueberry bushes from Angel Wings Nursery in Mississippi. We rented a post hole digger and even with that, we had a hard time digging holes due to the drought in our area. We have not had a decent rain in months and the ground is so hard.
It will take probably 2 years for our trees to start producing fruit but I can't wait!
We also harvested a few honey frames from our 2 hives and it's interesting to see the difference in color each hive produces. One hive produced an amber color honey and the other was much lighter and less 'rich' tasting. Both are really good though!
