I robbed one of the hives. I can handle 10 frames at a time so I picked a hive and checked the honey super. I was amazed to see it was packed. A month ago I was afraid that they were starving because of all the bad weather and lack of flowers.
I carted back about 40 pounds of honey, put it through my homemade spinner and right now it is draining into a bucket through a filter. I will let it drain for an hour or so. I hope it doesn’t rain. I will bring in the honey tonight and filter it again through a finer mesh. The result will be clear light amber honey.
Erica and I will bottle it tomorrow night when I get home from work. I have to print up the “summer” labels so that we will have a finished product. Expect honey to available by Saturday morning at the very latest.
