Do you like sticky feet?



I would like to pass on this little bit of information. It does not matter where you harvest your honey everything will get sticky - even your feet.



Everything you touch, the floor, the handles, the sink, the floor, the table, the knife, the floor, parts of the ceiling, the grass, the hose, kids, wife, watch, hands, forehead, hair, you name it... especially the floor.








I found a picture that helps explain the way your loving wife will feel if you intentionally turn her kitchen into what they loving call the "Honey House".

The honey house stores your extractor, the frames needing extraction, wax cappings and sticky sticky honey. I failed to mention bees. We had 3 supers and only 2 bees. They were so stuffed with honey that they could barely move. I was going to kill them but I was instructed by the wife to just release them outside.

It was a slow going process until we cleaned the filter. We are up around 8 1/2 gallons. That is about 102 Lbs already harvested. I would be willing to guess that we are not quite half way done but Monday will tell. We still have to get more supers off the hives. Sticky feet here we come!
