9/30/10: Inspection and honey removal

Conditions: Sunny, 65F
Present: Bud F. and I
Equipment: No changes.
Activities: Smoked hives about 5:30pm. Inspected super frames for capped honey.
Observations:

New Hive: Took about 5 frames of capped honey. More frames of uncapped honey present. Will return again before extracting for the fall. 2 more weeks?

Old Hive: Same as new hive. Also removed a super that was nearly empty with no real new comb to speak of.

The weather has been good with enough rain and plenty of warm, sunny days. We're going to have a fall harvest after all!
