7/1/12: Spring Extraction

On 6/30/12 pulled 5 supers to extract, leaving a full super on each of the two hives that I pulled from.  3 supers came from Hive #4 and 2 from Hive #1.

On 7/1/12 I extracted with Drew, Garrett, and Ed, a local farmer and first year beekeeper.  We got over 100 lbs of honey, I'll have a better idea once I bottle.  It is beautiful to behold.  And now I have empty supers of drawn comb for the ladies to refill.
