This is what makes all the effort worhtwhile !
Pulled 35 medium frames this afternoon.
13 frames from my 'experimental square hive', 7 from a 10-framer, and 15 from another 10 framer
There's at least that much more not fully capped that will come off in a week or so.
And they are bring it in like mad..more so since about an inch of rain over the weekend..no idea from where since I'm nearly dead-center with 7 colonies in a city of 20 K.
I've already pulled and bottled about 11 gallons about two weeks ago. I have about 4 times that amount still on hives that need to be capped. This all from seven hives in my backyard.
Much better than the 6 gallons that I got all of last year. :cheesy:
Wow! you guys must have early and strong flows!
I can't wait for the weather to clear and for me to look in my hives and get some honey.
I have a lot of honey on my hives right now. My wife and I need to pull it so that we can move the hives back into town. There is so much weight on the trailer with all that honey that I cannot move them until the honey is removed. I have family visiting this week and moving next week so I am loosing honey by not moving them. We will do it as soon as we can.
