FlowHive: Our First Harvest!!!
- 7 лет назад
This was our very first Flow Hive harvest! \r
\r
It took the bees one full month (June) to fill the flow frames with honey.\r
\r
It took about 2 hours to harvest all honey. On a 90 degree F day. \r
\r
We believe our honey was flowing so fast and overflowing due to it being such a hot day. So, if you are harvesting when it is over 90 degrees definitely only break open 1/3 of the frame at a time, otherwise you should be good to break open the entire whole frame at once. \r
\r
We yielded about 3 1/2 gallons of honey, weighed at 45 pounds (excluding containers)
