9th September - removed supers for final extraction before treatment

Today I removed 5 supers. Mostly capped but all passed the shake test. Used my new trolley to transport to the extractor. Having extracted I found some of the frames were crystallised so these will be returned to the colonies in their boxes but placed under the brood boxes.
The honey is a light golden colour and is passing easily through the filters into buckets to settle.

The last honey extracted has borderline high water content. As a result it is suitable for immediate use in baking and mead brewing. Waste not want not
