Purple Honey
Hi Eugene,
I was just reading [Rusty Burlew’s] “The Curious Beekeeper” article on purple honey, and I remember seeing some in a few of my frames several years ago, but I couldn’t figure out why it was there. These pics aren’t very good, but they were taken in May 202. I’m in South Alabama, about 20 minutes from the Florida lilne. I’ve only seen that color in my frames that one time.
