Well, I just finished extracting and bottling my first spring harvest. Two, one year old hives, one nuc started on April 29th, and a cutout totaled 104.5 pounds of honey! :-D And I left 7 or 8 frames in the supers that weren't capped yet!
Wow that is cool, or should I say sweet!! I can't wait till I actually get to pull some honey off and bottle it up. Last year I think I got four quarts off the hive I started that spring. They wintered well but I lost the queen and am starting that hive over this year. I do have other hives all started this year and am hoping for a fall harvest after the goldenrod. Stay safe. Harv
thanks Harv. If you have a lot of goldenrod in your area, you will surely get a decent amount of honey this fall. Good luck with the new hives.
