First honey pull of the season

We pulled four frames from the tree-line hives this morning, early, while the air was still cool and the bees were slow.

The clover run was long this spring, and you can taste it — light, grassy, and almost floral at the finish.

Everything gets uncapped by hand, spun slow, and strained once. Nothing heated. What goes in the jar is what came out of the comb.
