A few years ago i made a bee hive for the father in law and a couple of years ago a swarm took up residence.
Well, not one to miss out on a trick while visiting he suggested taking out a super of honey and i was happy to help as i will get the wax to process for my lubed wads! Processing is not hard, you just melt it and sieve it.
Mind you that disc does not look appealling at the moment.
The honey there is half of what we got from the one box.
For those interested the hive is the 'Warre' style of French origins and is for top bar bee keeping. Less intrusive and more natural. All the rest of the honey we will leave for the bees to over winter with so they do not get fed sugar they use their own supplies.
