Honey!!!

The tally is in!  Forty to forty-five gallons of honey were extracted Sunday!!! (Sep 18th)  So I spent my Monday bottling, bottling, and bottling.  I was happy it was something I could do since I burned my thumb Sunday while decapping the honeycomb.  (Hot wax + skin = very painful burn!)  I have been babying it ever since and it is healing up nicely; with any luck, and a lot of Mederma cream, I won’t even have a scar.

Filling the jars, a fun and sticky job.
The morning's effort totalled 39 full jars.  Yum!
