One of the frames in our year old hive that was loaded with capped honey kind of fell apart. The bottom broke off, so we decided to harvest the honey. Quite an interesting - and sticky - experience. I'm still mashing comb through a strainer and collecting the honey in a stock pot beneath the strainer. So far, almost eight cups from the one frame!!!

Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to assemble a solar heater to melt the comb. Hurray! Found instructions for one that I actually have all the components required to put it together. This should be fun! =)
