YUMM. Pulled out five capped frames today. VERY light honey, very sweet. I'm chunk honey-ing them as graduation gifts to my seniors this coming weekend! (That, and a little beeswax lip balm!)
This is my third year, and it looks like I will finally have a "bumper crop" this year!! My supers are 8 frame (spaced). It looks like I will have at least two more full supers before this flow is over, and possibly up to four.
Wow,always nice to reap rewards huh X:X - How many hives do you have,wats the set-up like for the one u pulled frames from (2deeps+2supers??),Is it that u've got 8med super frames spaced in a 10framer??Do they ever end up building burr combs or always real fat combs on each frame??
It is all that locus and poplar. Great stuff.
I have six hives, four that overwintered and two from swarms this year. Had two other swarms this year already, but they left for greener pastures.
I either have a deep and a medium, or two deeps for each of my "brood nests". I use mediums for supers, and they are 8 frames spaced in a ten frame box. There's a little burr, but 90% they just build super fat comb. On the four strong hives I have two with one and two with two supers right now (had stated too many earlier, sorry!!!). I expect I'll get at least 8 frames off the strongest hive, and several off of each of the others, but thought I'd wait till a little later in the flow!! I've got my taste for now!!
That's great! Lucky graduates :)
