We added a hive this year- so we have two, now. We pulled about 12 frames out- and got around 35 pounds of honey. Nature always amazes me, but I am in absolute awe of these creatures!! Dh invented a homemade honey extractor- which worked beautifully! I am getting ready to make mead (need to order some champagne yeast). There is a lot more honey we could harvest- but we will be hard pressed to use this up, so we are leaving it for their winter supply. When spring comes, we will take out any excess.
If you possibly can do it- I highly recommend having bees. They are such a perfect partner with the garden....
