Spent the afternoon harvesting honey and wax from one of my three beehives. The drought has effected honey production and Bee survival rates in my area this year. I was very grateful to be able to pull two medium supers off one hive. My DH and I spent most of the evening extracting. 2 medium supers = 5 gallons super smooth honey.
ALready planning ahead for spring in the anticipation of expanding and getting at least one more hive going.
Congratulations to you, Heather. Keep us posted in the spring. Good luck. Marly

A good harvest Heather. I took 7 frames of honey off of my hive yesterday also. The eighth frame I put back, as they didn't have much of it filled. It sure is good. Michele
