Blue Ridge Honey

摘要

About a year ago Jennifer Berry did a story on these pages about Blue Ridge Honey Company, run by Bob and Suzette Binnie. For the most part that article focused on the beekeeping aspect of this operation. But Bob and Suzette handle a lot of honey in their operation ... a lot of honey . . . and Jennifer, being the good beekeeper that she is, didn't delve much into that aspect of this business. But I got a chance to visit Bob and Suzette this year, and as fascinating as running 500 colonies this year and increasing to 700 next year is, and producing 1000 nucs this coming spring both to sell and to increase honey production can be, I was more fascinated to see how this very small operation handles nearly 300 drums of honey a year they both produce andbuy from beekeepers across the eastern part of the U.S.
