Saturday 24th August 2013 ~ Our First Harvest

Our First Harvest

We decided that we could take some honey from our hive this year

We hadn't expected to be able to given the size of our tiny colony back in April

We thought we would only spin 4 of the frames in the super we had removed but in the end we decided to spin 6; we hope the girls forgive us!

 

On your marks!
