Baker, they are the best trees black locust! The first year I started beekeeping, they had a unusual banner bloom season. From what a gentlemen told me at the garden center (also a beek), that it was a rare bloom. I took an early harvest and the honey was so delightfully light and sweet. This past summer not as much bloom, so I am hoping next year they will produce like two years ago.
Perry, the boxes are only about one to two years old. I gradually switched over from a regular garden bed to raised beds.
Jen, that's a good idea!
