Awhile ago we harvested two frames of honey from the brood box before we put our super on using the crush and strain method. I made a huge mess but we got just over two litres of honey and a nice chunk of beeswax as well! It was my first time harvesting honey and rendering beeswax and I had fun, but I'm sure it would get monotonous after awhile.
Last week I got to harvest from the 2 of the flow frames for the first time. We ended up with 1.9 litres from the first frame and 2 litres from the last frame. So much easier, far less mess and no wax to render when you have flow frames!
I also made up some little jars of honey to give away at Christmas and they look so cute!
