Honey at Last

Some of it was light and fresh,
and some was darker and thicker. We started to realize how beekeepers could distinguish honey from different flowers.
Being New-Bees, we just scraped it off and
mixed it all together to strain off the honey and save the wax for candles.
What amazing things they create!
I know bees will reuse comb and it is less work for them, but after seeing the old dark comb-see earlier post-I decided to crush and strain rather than extract. This way they will have fresh new comb. In the future maybe we can let them reuse newer looking comb for a while.
