Today I worked the hives, all 3. They are growing beautifully, and making lot's of honey. Since 2 of these hives are new colonies, and since the older hive was a combine of a swarm and a queenless hive, I am treating it as a new colony as well. This means that I will not take a lot of honey from them. I want to make sure they have enough of their own stores for Winter. I did take 3 frames ( medium sized ) total from the hives today and will extract tonight or later today. I will take photos of the "crush and strain" process. I do not have an extractor, and besides, I like being "one" with the honey!
