First honey harvest

[Chiflyguy]

My wife calls me the most impatient person in the world.
Harvested three frames 50% full
Got 5.3 pounds of honey

That's Awesome!
We lost both of our hives and haven't gotten any more yet.

I feel for you. We lost ours two years in a row and cleaned everything up and let things set empty and a swarm moved in last year and split this year. Hopefully this happens for you too.

That is so cool! Love honey!

Now, take those top two jars off stack....making me nervous.

Congrats! Robbing the bees and getting that liquid gold makes it all worthwhile.

Boy, your post came at an opportune time. Not to hijack, BUT, I have a swarm of bees that got in between the siding of my house and my chimney. I don't really want to annihilate a nest of honey bees. Are there any other options? I tried to post on a bee keepers forum but I got no responses. Any suggestions, Chiflyguy?

If nobody else replies, I can give you a guys number that lives in cookeville that might come get them.

Congratulations on the honey harvest but I thought the frames had be be 3/4 capped before the moisture content was at the proper levels. But I'm old school.

Yeah, jumped in a little early.
Like I said, impatient.
Gonna relax and let them do their stuff before I do that again.
I'm less than a year in as a bee keeper.
It was nice to try out my new FREE honey spinner though
