Fall Honey Extraction

Even more honey from two of the hives. Got about 28 pounds from one of the older hives plus one of the new ones. Not quite as dark as the August honey but still quite dark. I had eight more supers that were not capped so left them for the hives to rob out for winter - if I had been able to wait a few weeks I would have gotten up to 50 pounds more.

Thanks to Lucy Weaver and her friend for helping uncap the frames and spin the extractor.
