WWOOF volunteer by the name of John Iacona helped Neil with honey extracting in late June. You can tell it was hot. Most of our days this summer after about noon have been in the 100's with the heat index. REALLY hot. John stayed a few days and worked the bees (first time for bee keeping) and the gardens, and was a great help and good company.
