November 11, 2018: How not to uncap honey
November 11, 2018: using the honey extractor
November 11, 2018: Our first Honey harvest
On Nov 11 2018, we decided to extract some honey. We took 6 of the eight frames leaving two for the bees over the winter months. The hive only had to brood boxes since we replaced the FlowHive frames with foundation frames. This second box only had capped honey when it should have had more brood. We believe this was due to having the plastic FlowHive frames in place a few months back. Our bees provided almost 4 gallons for the harvest.
