so here is how i just extracted 2 tonnes (yes 2000kilos plus) of honey in my own veranda (conservatory at my house)
I have no workshop this summer, thats coming but here is a few things ive learnt over the years to get the frames extracted before the honey crystallises.

    I have a feeling that keeping bees is like raising chickens. You start out with a few birds and before you know it, you have dozens! But we chickeners overcome this problem with "Chicken Math" a.k.a. denial.😏 "No, I don't have 50 chickens, I only have 5, I don't know what your talking about I only see 5 chickens."πŸ˜‚ Same with bee hives, huh? 🌻🐝

    Thank you Richard for your honesty. We are starting beekeeping this early spring and haven't harvested yet. We will make sure to choose a specific setting and design a system that works for us in the Southern California desert πŸ’›
