Last year was our first year doing this, so we didn't get enough to sell (first year hives start several months behind established hives). We used the honey we got to bribe the neighbors for putting up with our crazy antics!!But, there is a store on Cambridge, MA that sells ONLY honey (from all over the world), and they can't keep local honey in stock because people try to eat local honey. As for the queen....well, she's there...somewhere. But with 60,000 unhappy bees flying around, we don't usually look for her. If you find freshly laid eggs, you know she's been around within the last few hours.
that is all so interesting and fun. Reminds me of the the "bee keeper" in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes.
