Another Two Gallons
Aug. 15th, 2014 10:03 pmThe girls have been very productive, indeed... and I've been kind of remiss about actually recording everything.
In July, on the 25th, I actually pulled four frames, or one and a quarter gallons of honey, from the bottom of the two supers I had on the hive, and I swapped the positions of the supers, so that they'd work on the "lower" and half-full super before they worked on the upper one. John and I scraped clean the four frames, and the next morning I put them all back in to let the bees clean them off.
