Honey anyone

A couple weeks ago we were invited to a friends house to watch them extract honey from their honeybees. It was so interesting.
Their hives in a protected area on their property.
They had to put an electric fence around it to keep the bears out 

The bees become more active during this process

Combs full of honey

Taste testing

MMMMMMMMMMM Good!

Ms.T helping Tayler take the wax caps off the comb

The Extractor held 4 boards and you cranked a handle to spin it.
The honey all collected in the bottom

Dylans turn 

Honey MMMMMMMMMMMMM 


As Will called it - Liquid Gold! and soo yummy - we were lucky enough to be given a jar and it was gone in two days it was so good.
May be a new project in the future.
