Today was CSA pick up day here at the farm.
Thursday evening, I had checked my hives and saw that three hives had capped over about half of the frames in the supers.
So, while I was waiting for some of the later arriving CSA customers, I pulled the full frames off of the hives.
I then proceeded (with Sam & Aric’s help) to extract the honey.
I just finished bottling 16 – 1 pound containers and a quart jar full (for us) and still have over 1/2 of a 5 gallon bucket.
I should be able to pull the rest off next weekend. Now, if the other hives (or even if these same 3 hives) up another super full of honey, I’ll be in fine shape…
