Exciting times! After about 14 months of beekeeping, we harvested our first frame of honey. It produced about a quart. I’m not sure what to expect for the full season, but it should be somewhere around 10 quarts.
I decided to document the whole process because it’s the sort of thing I would have appreciated knowing going into it. Here’s the 10-minute video:
Amazon links to some of the supplies we used:
- Cute little bear bottles
- Honey strainer
- Honey extractor
- Uncapping fork
- Honey filter, if you prefer to crush and strain rather than use an extractor
