Did my first extraction

[cklspencer]

Well I did my first extraction on Friday. I must say that it was tons of fun.
I picked up an old extractor after I started my hives for a great price and got the chance to use it.

I took off one of two med. supers off of hive number one and 4 deep frames out of the deep super on hive number two. I will try and do the rest in a few weeks.

Everything worked out better then I thought it would and I must say that I can't wait to do it again.

Very nice.  Congratulations.  Perhaps that will keep the house in honey over winter.  Please post a picture when it is jarred.

Good shots.  Looks good.

The first is always the best. Looks very good.

I'm always amazed how much honey comes out of a frame.  It's fun, isn't it!  Are your neighbors lining up yet?
