1st Round of Extractions
August 2nd – Honey Extraction Like I said, I’m trying things different this year so I wasn’t sure what to expect for honey. But, this is the first year ever I extracted honey the first of August. Usually don’t pull honey supers until September or even October. That way they catch the last honey/nectar flow of the year. But I may extract again in the fall. I don’t expect much from this harvest. I’m guessing 20 pounds or so. But hey, that is $200 for winter hive wrap, mite treatment, and feed! I am hoping for a total of about 60 Pounds this year. A little less than last year, but it will all work out.
