Amazing how much difference there is between here and where your hives are. Just one county away. I never made a drop of honey after privet finished up. All these cow pastures aren't conducive for honey production.

We usually get 200 to 220 for a bucket. Unless we pull Goldenrod honey we won’t have any extra to sell. I’ll have a better idea next week how well the goldenrod is going. Will a 5 gal bucket fill 20qt jars?

A quart of honey is right at 3 pounds. 5 gallons of honey is right at 60 pounds so you should get roughly 20 quarts. I bet you get 19 because it is difficult to get all the honey out of a container. You wouldn’t lose a full quart but I bet you would be short on the last jar.
Fur the goldenrod honey tastes nothing like it smells. We normally leave it for the bees but I also will sometimes pull a medium and spin it. I think it tastes fine. Buckwheat honey on the other hand I think is garbage.
Interesting. Yeah I grew some buckwheat one year. Mainly to give the bees something to keep them going during our long dearth and I wasn't a fan of the honey. I never spun any, but tried a comb of it.

What are you doing for varroa control? I've gotten lazy the past two years and have really neglected by bees while trying to get a sod business up and running. Went from 10 hives down to 4 over the winter from not keeping up with them. I did get a Saskatraz hive established this summer though. Lost 1 of the 4 in a recent dearth.
Don't give up, don't ever give up!

I use the OAV via vapor, quick, easy, and most important it kills mites. Have been using for 5 years and feel it really has saved my bees. One of many tools to use OAV in vapor form. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7E9bBnsPTg
