Last Batch of Honey for this Season

Well, it's sad almost - this is it - the last honey extraction for this season.  But it feels good too - we extract, take the frames back and let the bees clean them off, and then we are ready for a fresh start next spring.

 Frames in the extractor ready to spin!

Lonely bee trying to get the last of that honey.

 All capped and ready to go.

 Scraping off the cappings to let the honey flow.

Uncapping in action!

Honey coming out of the extractor....

 Spun and empty - I think they look furry.

 Lovely Honey!

 One of our bees that took a ride to the extractor with us.  She so badly wants to suck up as much as she can before it's gone!



She loves her honey!


 Ready to bottle up!
