How do bees stay cool during these hot days?

Step 5: Manage Honey Cappings

There was about 15 lbs of honey drained from these cappings. We also can’t wait to repurpose the wax back onto frames for next year. Not wasting a thing!

Step 4 of the extraction process: load frames jn the extractor and fling the honey out!

I wish you all could smell this part! 🥰

One our favorite tools in the extraction process- the hot knife

Step 3 of extraction: Uncapping Frames

Step 2- Putting out Escape Boards

We use escape boards to move the bees from the honey supers down into the bottom of the hive. This helps ensure the bees stay with their hive instead of coming with the super for extraction.

Step 1 of extracting honey: measuring moisture content

When our refractometer shows the moisture in our honey is below 18.6% then we are good to start the extraction process. Anything higher and we risk the honey fermenting over time. Looks like we are going to pull some honey soon!
