and so the honey crop?

 

[Ely]

Had a spring crop but after that my bees went on strike despite excellent weather.

Extracted 2 supers, total weight of Honey, 65lbs.
Used 2 sets of scales, because I thought the first reading couldn't be right!.
I'm of to collect another 10 supers, 2013, what a year !!!.

That is a good amount of honey from 2 supers.

Spring I got 22lb from one hive...

Last week we took 3 1/2 supers off 3 hives- and I am told that the extracted honey weighed 35 kilos...what's that in lbs?? I'll go google...be back...77lbs!!

So 99lbs so far

I now have 2-3 more supers to take off. Not bad as all hives have at some point this season removed HM and started again...and that is with leaving each full hive a super for winter...

2 years ago, when all was well with the climate, I had 263 lbs from just the 2 biggest hives, some of which came from the half brood box because they were bringing it in so fast (acres of OSR behind my place). Last year not a lot - 43lbs total. This year 120 lbs so far and a lot more to come. Happy days.

275 lbs from 4 hives, three of which went queenless in mid June.
