Darryl really enjoyed harvesting honey this year. There were only 4 supers (I think 2 were Rhett's and 2 were ours). He said that's the enjoyable amount because it didn't take the entire day. I enjoyed it because we were able to get EVERYTHING done and cleaned up. So we weren't dripping caps for days and then cleaning again. It was nice. I forgot about the wax though and let it set cook all night-- it turned olive green. Oops. :]
The boys loved turning the crank and snitching honey that had dripped out of the supers. Fun times. Oh, an improvement this time! Chris let Darryl borrow his jet heater. WOW! Where have you been all our lives! I don't know if he had it previous years but wow it would have been nice to have that before. It heated up the garage to about 100 deg. in about 15 min. So great! Even without his heater Chris is always a great help every year.
