The barn will be built to comply with State of Michigan honey house regulations (you'd be surprised to know how detailed the regulations are) so we'll be able to sell our delicious, raw honey directly to retail outlets throughout the greater Ann Arbor area. The barn will also have space to host our new beekeeping workshops in the Spring of 2017! </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07900781093597151015noreply@blogger.com0United States42.518540742027916 -84.023437518.812638742027918 -125.3320315 66.224442742027918 -42.7148435tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592181591027344902.post-78499959943609227762016-04-13T06:44:00.001-07:002016-04-13T06:44:12.076-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhujKX-nLhA1jEmB0tEnRfUMxYvwKGSgmtZMQSmw6P-wivxDTcsYX410o9AHqtEmkobxf2JK76R9fhPuLREO6jdNkLuyKCHgQJI6Ozc3pMqDQSBN6XxhwxHdE2ibLKZS29xTmKQs0IlHbT3/s1600/snow+in+april.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhujKX-nLhA1jEmB0tEnRfUMxYvwKGSgmtZMQSmw6P-wivxDTcsYX410o9AHqtEmkobxf2JK76R9fhPuLREO6jdNkLuyKCHgQJI6Ozc3pMqDQSBN6XxhwxHdE2ibLKZS29xTmKQs0IlHbT3/s320/snow+in+april.jpg" width="320" /></a>It's April in Manchester, Michigan with 8 inches of snow.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our first extraction of the season was Saturday, May 31st. The light colored honey you see above was from this early Spring extraction. Our second extraction happened in mid July (the darker colored honey). Both early Spring and mid Summer extractions are available now.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07900781093597151015noreply@blogger.com0
