Days 48, 49, 50, 51, 52 - Honey Harvest

Although I have not posting as often, I continue to do my daily harvests. Being a teacher makes for less free time once school starts...

Well, it has been 6 weeks since I broke my shoulder blade. Been waiting for the time so I could harvest honey and today was the day!! I was expecting around 5 gallons from the two hives, but one hive had a lot of brood in the upper super...so I left them be. The harvest was still very good with 11 quarts to make it through next year.
