Title: Woohooo!!! 40 pounds!!
Post by: saltybluegrass on June 12, 2023, 09:39:53 AM
What an amazing morning as I sat and motivated myself for more work than I do everyday. I was going to open a hive and see
Well it?s a 2 box medium 10 frame that had only 3 frames of honey last year.
Well at my age and the Florida heat makes it hard to do a whole box.
But once I saw all ten frames loaded, I took a deep breath and took frames 2x 2 to my porch to scrape.   
Lol I was so excited I forgot to scrape one side of a frame -
When I got back to the hive, I said here, y?all can have it!!
I sure appreciate the 40 pounds you gave me sweet girls
And I?ve learned to take extra time to brush all the girls off before I work.
Very proud of what we did today(them and me!)

Congratulations Salty. Enjoy your honey. Probably the best honey you have ever had.

Great to hear from you, Salty!  I agree with Jim, there is nothing like tasting honey your bees made just for you!  :happy:

Thank you all.
I got 17 pints and 3 quarts from 10 medium frames.
I can?t wait to start mailing to my relatives.
My son loves his annual honey box in the mail all my with some cousins and a few old friends.
It?s amazing what honey can provide. Joy love and nutrition
Hope your hives are alive and well!!
And Jim, I saw your post in another thread about smoking and waiting ten minutes and it?s advice you gave me 4 years ago!! Thankyou
