Honey in St Petersburg
I'm in Russia for a few days - husbands birthday trip with friends. Came across the indoor food market where they were selling honey - comb, creamed, drinks ( three kinds) and honey in other ways I didn't recognise. Last evening we had vodka flavoured with horseradish and honey which was quite a big hitter. Would upload photos of the honey stall but Tapatalk won't let me - probably not keen about images coming in from Russia. Will try later.
There's a feral colony in that image, not that there were bees flying that day.
Anyway, Russia. Great! We love to hear tales from afar.
That was me trying a photo upload while I'm home with WiFi access via Tapatalk on my phone. I tried on Monday whilst out and about but couldn't get it to work. Probably the bandwidth available to me over the cell phone network was the restriction. If you can post from where you are then there will be no reason for the forum not to accept an image, but maybe the connection or even Tapatalk may have an issue with biggish files.
Not mine unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately given the financial resources required to look after it. I had occasion to go on the roof of it this year chasing bees, and an amazing experience that was. It is owned by the local aristocrats, and lovely people they are too.

It's really weird that Tapatalk recognises the images from my iPad but not the iPhone. I'll have to wait until my iPad gets the photos from the phone. Meanwhile I can upload to Facebook ( big fan btw) but for some reason am unable to see sbai on FB . Perhaps it's just this Russian thing😜
Ah! Those wires in the cut comb, such a bind. They should have gone to Thornes where you can buy thin unwired for that sort of thing! But it isn't cut comb, is it. Looks like they are cutting out small squares which are then pressed to recover the honey?
