Harvested two full and beautifully capped medium supers this morning and got 4.5 gallons of honey. This has been a great year for our bees! One of the supers was a topbar super (the frames were put in without foundation) and the bees did great with it. Since we're not currently using an extractor, it was convenient to just cut the comb right off the top of the frame and mash it in the bowl, then strain through a strainer.
