Yes, that's dandy for sure! Yum, yum.  I extracted 11 frames today for my step-dad to see what it's like to take honey from the hives to the jar.  Will have a thread in a few minutes..

That's great!   I hope we all harvest mass quantities of honey this year!

Most all of it was capped but it seemed a little thin to me. But we were in a closed room and it was around 95 degrees. I hope that is why. I will check with my refractometer and see. I figured if it was capped it was good to go.

We have had so much rain this year I am surprised they were able to cap any of it.

very nice,  I've been busy making bees instead of honey, but that's done for this year and now the season can start in earnest.   I'm at least a month away from having full supers.

That's great!  How many hives do you have? 

I don't think we are going to make much this year, but I am still hopeful.  We got another small rain today.  Maybe that will keep a little flow going.   :)
