NZBF: OMG-Nobody told me I was going to get THAT much honey!

[Stephen Horsley]

Harvested my first 3/4 super of honey. Almost busted myself when lifting it and now have much admiration and respect for BKers on a big scale and with full size supers.

Wasn't knowing what I would get and had me scrambling for more jars as it kept flowing out of the extractor. Must have got about 12-13 litres in all sorts of jars.

Note to myself - get a box load of plastic containers. I have only done one super and there's 3 more sitting on 2 hives! Holy mackerel that's a lot of honey to be sitting in the cupboard - don't think I'll be chomping through that in a year.

Congratulations on the haul. Bet you’re glad to have those ¾ boxes

Congratulations. Its a great result.
The neighbors, whose flowers contributed are usually grateful recipients and it helps to empty the cupboard.

Wow, harvesting our first box tomorrow, thanks for the warning!
