Hello all,
I hope I am posting this in the right place.
I just wanted to say hello and tell you a little about myself.
First, I'm located in the deep south - Birmingham, AL, USA. Locally I would be jokingly referred to as a 'damned Yankee' -- that is, a northerner who came to the south -- and stayed.
Second, I am a former homebrewer that capable of mashing, kegging, culturing yeast, etc. But, I haven't brewed a batch in at least 13 years... So, I have some knowledge, experience, rusty skills and even residual equipment.
Third, I am a 3rd year hobbyist beekeeper interested in healthy beekeeping practices that has produced a modest honey surplus already this year (~150 lbs of light golden spring wildflower honey), with as much or more honey on the hives yet to be harvested.
My modest little beekeeping operation is just starting to hit its stride. Last year I gifted away my surplus to family and friends. This year, I am suddenly at risk of becoming the victim of my own success, so I need to find something else to do with my sweet treasure.
I suspect we all know what comes next. But from past experience, I know that my modest available time and best efforts to consume won't put a significant dent in my supply. Problems, problems....
