The fruit set is now underway!  Things have started out better than last year for sure.  We did have a frost in late May and that took apples off a few trees, but its nothing last what we had last year.  The majority of the trees have set a pretty decent crop except for the McIntosh and the Sweet Sixteen.  This is what they call farming!  I cant imagine how farms with 10-20 thousand trees ever get through the springtime in one piece.  Anyway, at this point, things are looking good, the apples are about the size of a nickel and the bees are bringing in lots of honey.  The last picture is of one of my stronger hives.  The top 5 boxes are honey, which when full, will be about 125#.  Lets hope the rest catch up!
