I've just finished extracting - a fairly good year considering the start. Whether you like the process of extraction or not there is a perverse pleasure in seeing the frames spinning out that glorious golden liquid and the buckets filling - whether it's one bucket or a hundred it's the same feeling. These wonderful tiny creatures, so industrious that they produce far, far, in excess of the crop their size and numbers would suggest is ever possible. It's a source of constant wonder to me and I love it.
Whatever your religious persuasion (or lack of it) it's a fantastic time to consider and be grateful for what nature brings us...
Mind you ... I just loathe the clearing up afterwards !
