More Honey ...

10:00pm Monday June 29th ... finally was able to motivate and get the 1-plus supers extracted. The first super was full with 10 frames of lighter colored honey ... probably from this spring floral and nectar flows. The other super with mostly plastic frames was quite uneven in the comb that was drawn and with several frames without comb or honey. The honey in this super was quite dark and I believe was probably from the late fall brasilian pepper flows. Overall my daughter and I were able to get about 4 gallons of honey extracted. It took us about 2 hours from start through cleanup. The honey still needs to be strained from the bits of wax and such ... work for another day. I placed all of it in a 5 gallon bucket and snapped on a lid to await another day.
