"it all comes of not having front doors big enough"


we extracted the honey yesterday. it took approximately 10 hours- due to massive complications with the extractor we rented. we ended up with 25 lbs. of honey. we were told we had about 40 lbs. in our hive. we realize we must have wasted a lot. (in not knowing exactly what we were doing) however- we were the only ones who harvested any at all. cheryl and gerald's hive is almost completely dead, and our friends trent and lisa's aren't doing much better. it was insanely messy!!! we had honey every where!
i think we'll be much better at it next year. and hopefully we'll get more honey.
