FIRST LOOK/honey harvesting
here I go again! I’m also grateful for the honey and wax they left to help my new hives get a jump start and provide us with a harvest of pleasure and goodness,” explains Eric. “I’m trying to learn from it all as best I can. Definitely a steep learning curve! The honey is delicious, though.” Several neighbors have already hit up the Blauers for purchases, so it seems this hobby could become a new side hustle. Eric laughs off the offers. “Sorry, not with this harvest. Maybe in the fall!” If you want to join the new backyard apiarist, check out the advice and wisdom of the well-seasoned enthusiasts by joining the Inland Empire Beekeepers Association on Facebook. It’s a gathering place for novices and experts alike. Incidentally, when the pastor and his wife aren’t busy with minding their bees, he’s writing poems. His book Pleadings: Poems on Life, Faith and Love came out in March on Amazon.
