Honey Extracting

It's the time of year where you ask yourself is the honey ready? Beekeepers all across the area who have been monitoring their hives closely will be able to answer that question fairly easy. Honey bees draw out the comb in their frames and then we add add another super so they can do it again in hope they will fill it with honey and capped it. When they do this, we consider they honey ripe and ready for removal. Until then, it's not ready and they wait continues throughout the days and weeks ahead.

New frame, new foundation.

This honey looks almost clear....amazing!

The spinning honey extractor holds 4 frames.

Exercises outside today!
