Buckets, I got buckets!
« on: November 13, 2014, 07:35:45 pm »
1800 lbs. worth, and 20 more supers to go. Although most of it is half full or less, a lot of it is uncapped so it should go quick.  ;D
Then clean up starts. :sad:



The heating "cabinet" works great, bringing 14 supers up to 30 C (85 F) for a couple days and then they extract easy.
14 in the cabinet with the last 6 waiting to go in.

I can't wrap my mind around that amount of honey. It just doesn't compute.  I started keeping bees when the drought started
