Time to spin those frames once again!!

We were able to pull 21 Medium frames and 3 shallow frames off of the hives this year. We still have one hive that is a little behind becuase we started them this year but they will also have some to extract. So the calculation so far is from these frames we have 7 gallons of honey! 7! That still seems like quite a bit especially when you see the thick yellow gold collect on the sides of the extractor and it feels like it will be forever to make it to the bottom and to the filter.

I took a look at last years numbers. We did not extract until about the middle of August so it is really hard to compare. I think that this year will be a better year for them if the weather keeps up. Last year we had about two whole supers of uncapped honey. That was fine becuase I fed it to them this year in the spring and I have not fed them ANY SUGAR WATER for 2011 which is very nice. I will try harder to keep track of the total honey extracted for the year and then compare it to last year.
