Honey Harvest

Well, J donned his new bee suit, 

 and headed for the bee hive.

 He cracked the lid,

 smoked the bees,

 and started removing the frames of honey.

 There are 10 frames in a super and toward the end the bees were a little more reluctant to leave the frames.

After shaking and brushing the bees off, J moved the frames one by one to another super that we then carried to the house.

We had added a second hive body earlier this year.  This will be the first winter with 2 hive bodies instead of one.   Hopefully next year we will be able to put more supers on and get more honey.
