I am so grateful for this vlog. There’s just something special about your vlogs. There’s no drama, there’s no crazy or hype up. It just is. I don’t know if I can adequately express it. It’s a really nice balance of life and teaching and learning. Would J ever do Bee’s no, but I found all the vlogs about your bees fascinating and really learned alot. Such a lot of work for honey. Thank you for sharing.

You should try to heat up the raspberries, add sugar to taste and then pour them over vanilla ice-cream. Top it with whipped cream! So good

I was thinking take some of those Raspberries and make it into a syrup for pancakes/waffles and on icecream... crepes too..

When this happened to our honey we spoke to the bee society and they said it get solid because it wasn’t filtered well and that some wax had gotten into the honey either from de capping or from filtering. But as you say still tastes ok, but I prefer if when it’s a flowing golden stream. I usually used the set honey in cooking. I have an awesome chicken, ginger and garlic recipe which is truly so tasty I could eat it continuously 😂

Hi Lauren. I so love raspberries. So expensive here. I think it’s too hot in Australia to grow them successfully. I still can’t believe you’re expecting twins. I’m so so excited for you all. The summer went quick. We’ve had a very cold winter and we are in spring now. We’ve had severe rain and wind here for two days. Even the dog won’t go out. Lol. Freeze drying raspberries is great. I love raspberry jam too. Thanks for your update. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a wonderful luxury to have so many raspberries growing at home. Different climates effect different fruits. I have a raspberry as a potted plant which I care for cover with a net to stop the birds eating them. I get excited when i see the first one. Yours must taste so delicious. Here raspberries are generally used for decoration on sponge cakes pavlova as they are considered special & a treat. The honey from hive to finished product in a jar is beautiful. Thankyou for yet another informative & enjoyable video.

What a beautiful honey harvest!! Labor of love to the very end, You should name it "The Twins Honey or 2 Bee's in the Pod" . Just keep sipping on some warm honey water Lauren to keep yourself healthy and Sweet during your pregnancy. Maybe a little ginger in it when nausea sets in. The Hamm Family are happily buzzing. Looks like everyone is pitching in. I love dried fruit on cold cereal, raspberries and Strawberries with any flaked cereal and roasted almonds. Soaked in milk so good. Raspberry scones are my favorite. It might be a perfect breakfast when you are feeling nauseous. The chewing might help. You sure are lucky for this beautiful harvest. Thanks be to God. Big hugs lots of sweet prayers for our little twins

Bennett loves to help with the cooking. I think he would become a chef maybe though. He's very hands-on. It's so enjoyable to watch Evertte help you buy the ingredients from Costco and Garden. This is a beautiful family life. I'm going to watch you making raspberry freeze jam on here. Say happy and healthy Can you put up the recipe for freezer jam, please? Thank you xx On your bees, you said you give them sugar syrup syrup what part of sugar do you leave the bees some of the honey to live off over the winter or is it the sugar syrup so they can make more honey? How do you add syrup? Do you give the bees sugar syrup every day or a couple of days so they can live off that over the winter month? How do you give them the syrup without interface the bees? How did you get the honey onto your trays without spinning them? It's good that you know there's Alaska wild flower and Honey that puts the honey in jars for you. 60 cents a pound is cheap. Sorry for all the questions. I'm Interested Hang on there are you pregnant with twins?? Or did I get it wrong? Have you given away your bees or in the process of doing that.

@ThisAlaskaLife 10 ай бұрын

There is a special box that you put on top full of sugar syrup. They then turn that into honey very quickly because it is so accessible. If you go back to our very first bee video of the season we fed them sugar syrup then, they need it in the spring and the fall in Alaska because of the short summer. This video shows it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9WXi9Z6nq25dJs.htmlsi=clUK7ly1qW9GIJdv Yes we just announced that I am pregnant with twins! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbZmoNZ0y8zMfnU.htmlsi=V4Qbiq7phQ28AnWI

Oh my I bet the house smelt amazing all those raspberries. One of my favourite berries, normally so expensive though. I would love a freeze dryer but the price for one in Australia is crazy expensive $8000 plus. Hopefully they will become more affordable in years to come. Definitely not in the household budget in the near future.

So interesting about finishing off the honey this year. I think you have a decent amount of honey to last you about 2 years. My grandmother used to buy jars of honey in the comb.....we would spoon it out and chew on the comb for a bit almost like wax candy. Super yummy!!!
