Honey, chevre' and hot pepper jelly

I harvested my first honey from my own hive, it was very scary not sure what the bees would do but it went very well and the frames were full of honey in fact when I took it to the honey slinger Mr. benson he was able to get 6 1/2 qts of honey. I could not believe it. Right now it is sitting in the honey bucket waiting for the bubbles to dispeerse and then..... I can put it in jars and tada honey for all my friends. I have already made labels and the nutrition label all I need to do is weigh it and pen that in and figure the servings per jar. i am going to put in pint jars. The labels are like my business card for my goats only I added Honey to the name. and the cheese the first 2 batches i made I didn't flavor but this last batch I did, I tested a few different flavors basil/rosemary, basil/rosemary crushed red pepper, cranberry sunflower and honey, just basil and a roemarty and peppercorn. haven't tasted them yet letting the flavors ripen and last I made hot pepper jelly haven't tasted either made it for a friend who love hot pepper jally ahven't hooked up yet to give it to her to see if she likes it.
