Awesome.

Did you plant the lavender yourself or place the hives at a field of it?

How is the new honey house working?  :)

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

That was a exceptional yield for 3 on a 20 acres field.   I have about 25 more colonies to go that should average about 50 - 100 each of thistle honey.   Most likely more that are close to the 50 mark.   Honey house is working well but decapping needs to be worked on

Oh, I was wondering lavender plants or lavender colored honey.  :-D
