Continued on from my last post, which had no photos, here is the process with photos!
 |
| Steph tending the smoker |
 |
| Lots of full frames of honey |
 |
| All capped and ready to go |
 |
| Using a sharp knife I sliced the cappings off |
 |
| My brand new extractor - the plastic protective layer has since been removed |
 |
| More cappings sliced off |
 |
| The extractor takes 4 frames at a time |
 |
| Honey and bits of wax going into a 2 stage strainer |
 |
| A part bucket of honey 2 days after extraction, it has set solid! |
 |
The full bucket of honey - again set solid. There's approximately 15 kg in there!
|
 |
| After vigorously beating and stirring the set part bucket of honey I was able to get it soft enough to put some in jars. |
