So... it looks like we got 8 gallons this year. With only 4 bee stings. DH got two in the fingers while working without gloves to spin. Sis got one while decapping and bees wanted it too! And I got one on the back on my neck while photographing the procedure!
Bees love it.

That is awesome looking, DW and I want to get some bees one day, the sooner the better. How much honey came out of those frames.
Oh eight gallons nice haul.

We love honey. We still buy honey from a bee keeper in Livingston that has dark rich honey. Every time we go down there, we stock up. We just haven't found anything up here to beat it.
the honey your DH raised is wonderful. I love it that Jeni Ann was helping, tell her we miss her here.
The pictures are awesome, thanks for documenting it.
