This last weekend we paid a visit to one of the hives to see how things were going. The Mr. found that they had most definitely been busy little bees with honey a overflowing..it was time, he announced, to capture some of the golden goodness.
And here is the results of the first few frames that were removed.
Here is my high tech invention to extract the honey....
As you can see for yourself, it works very well. I won't try to tell you that it is fast, let's just say it was a good lesson in patience for me and I was actually very satisfied with the end result.
We have just enough to share with family in Portland and a few neighbor friends here that share their blossoms with our bees. This weekend we will be checking the hive at the upper property and I will be sharing the interesting story of how that one came to be.
Hope you all have something "sweet" planned for your weekend!
