Honey Harvest

We helped our friend Dan harvest his honey today. He pulled the full supers and our job was to get as many bees off of them as we could.

I wish this hadn't turned out blurry, they looked like they were just sitting around a table eating honey.

All of the supers stacked up, ready for tomorrow's honey extraction.


All of the bees in the honey room. You can see their bellies full of honey.


Tomorrow night will be a late one filled with lots of sticky honey!

How neat! My parents actually harvested their first large batch of honey on Sunday. (before they had only taken small amounts once or twice I think) They were delighted to end up with 3 gallons from the 2 hives! :)
