Ouch! A double sting from two bees that climber up into my jeans while I tended to hive!
Itchy!
Swollen!
Red!
The Girls are doing a great job. I only removed 2 frames and shuffled them all into the Centre. They love that spot rather than the edges! Of course now they are partying on the empty frames to clean them up, An I smell like a bonfire! I got the smoker working really well this time. Each time I am getting better!
I do love being amongst the Girls as they fly around. They make that fabulous hum/buzz/ Wonderful.
It is cooler now too. I have found extraction and sieving is trickier when the honey is cooler.. Sooooo thick and golden, it his taking some time to go through. The time to purchase a manual extractor is close at hand.
