Yet another hobby to chat about.. . . . . . never a dual moment here!
Being a new beekeeper I was thrilled to extract our very first batch of honey from our hives yesterday. Just look at it, 4 quarts of the purest clover honey.
This is what a frame of capped honey looks like. I got to process 8 1/2 frames and it taste better than any other honey I’ve ever tasted, probably because I have such an investment in it, time and money. 🙂
Normally you don’t get to keep any of the honey your new bees make in the first year because they may need it to get through the Winter, but one of our new hives is extra strong and made an additional box full. I also got to harvest our first bees wax too. I’m looking forward to making something from it this Winter. I’m so excited!
This is my bees cleaning up the honey left in the bowls I used during the extraction and what was left in the frames in the bee box. No waste!
Helping the bees survive is sure rewarding. 🙂 If you are thinking about becoming a beekeeper, please do, the bees need us.
Thanks for stopping by. . . . .
Huge Hugs,
