On November 25th we extracted honey in Dad's garage! This is always an exciting day, however, it's even more exciting when it's been TWO YEARS since you've had honey to extract! (We didn't get any in 2019!) 2020 may have been a bummer of a year for a lot of reasons, but not with honey!
Beautiful capped honey!
This is a pile of "cappings"...what we cut off to get to the honey. None of it is wasted! This gets melted down and we can separate the wax from the remaining honey.

Dad's extracting setup! He got that extractor decades ago at a flea market I believe!

My boys taking a turn with the extractor. It's a full day affair so often times my family comes with and hangs out at Gramma & Grampa's while we extract!
Check out this quick 30 second version of what we did today!
