Paula, you did a great job of capturing the process. I want to also give Joe Mueller credit as my bee mentor. Joe was the guy in the picture that was helping me.

Fun to see & read.
Save a teaspoon of the 24 lbs. for the rest of us to try! Remember: Always have fun w/ your “Honey”!

Cost of honey not counting the beehive:

$10 to rent the honey extractor from the Mount Diablo Beekeepers’ Association
7 bee stings while removing the frames
4 bee stings while replacing the frames
1 bee sting while while brushing off bees attacking Dave
