Cotton Picker hive at Gus Nawara's farm. One of many hives there.

This colony is over 4 years old and have remained healthy and very productive without any treatments for mites. A fine example of why I preserve this wild stock. They came out of the gas tank of this machine. Gus Allen is pictured in a previous entry of the honey harvest from his dads farm. He was very helpful with the harvest. It is not an easy job, by a  hand crank extractor. We did it in October.
