How to ferment garlic I'm RAW honey.
Glass jar with lid or weight with fermenting lid.
Use fresh garlic and honey in a 1:1 ratio. Can do whole or chopped cloves. Mix together. If using a regular lid, you will need to burp the jar once a day. Maybe more if not much headspace. (Burp=loosen the lid slightly will hear or smell the gas exsape.) You should see bubbles in your jar. The fermenting process should take about 2 weeks.

Had a swarm this afternoon.
It's hard to get get a sharp image of the individual bees with my phone, especially as I didn't want to get in the middle of them.

Quick check in on the hives today. You can hear them buzz. He said some of the hives were very aggressive today.
