No pics this year Annette!...This year i have two hives that are HOT!!!!...I did start with a T-shirt and long pants( to harvest honey)...I ended up with my veil AND jacket!..Oh my gosh!!!Those Lil boogers ate me up!!!..I still dont where gloves, but if The bees are the same next year, I'm gonna be wearing gloves too!!. I must have gotten stung pover 100 times! My hands were the worst tho...By the time we were done getting honey, My hands wouldnt even bend!..And, It was HEAVENLY just to wash the sticky of my hands  under the water hose!!
Oh, wait a minute!! I did get some pics!...They werent as silly as last years tho..Just "Runna the mill" type pics...here you go! you friend,

Looks like you had lots of help extracting honey with the whole family involved.  I usually end up doing everything myself (whine, whine)

Take care
Annette

Thats funny!!! My family helping out????? Harrrggghhhhh!!!
 The 2 helpers were Francine and Tina...Francine works with Janelle and Tina is Francines best friend! Francine just got a hive this year from me and Tina is gonna start next spring! ( Unless they got scared by my bees!)
 Janelle was up on the deck taking the pics from there...She KNOWS I have 2 hot hives this year and didnt want any part of them!
 Paul didnt help this year...he's afraid of bees now.
 Next year Im gonna get a bucket with a valve on the bottom for filling honey into bottles, and, also, I think I'll get one of those screen patios to keep the bees out of all the honey and stuff. This year, I was really bummed from how many bees died this time...(getting stuck in honey)...On a good note, i got about 100 lbs of honey.....And, I couldnt have done it without the help of Francine and Tina!..Without them, it would have taken me a couple days to get it all!

your friend,
john

Hey JP!
I'm hoping Francine gets interested in queen stuff! That way, she can practice on my hives!
I dont think requeening could be quite as hard as actually finding the old queen for me! As a matter of fact, "Combining hives" is where I put the one hive on top of the other with newspaper....then hope for one of the queens to make it!...So far, so good!

your friend,
john

Rob, hee, hee, think I may have seen something like that video before, but if you don't think looking at the ol' video didn't bring a smile to my face, well then....what a hoot and a hollar!!!  Beautiful days, to love, live, with great health.  Cindi
