Yesterday was the start of our 2019 harvest. This year, I have experimented with frame spacing and using simple starter strips to make at least 2 frames of cut comb honey per 8 frame box.
Plus, I used just 7 frames instead of 8 to get them to make the frames 'fatter' to ease decapping and spinning.

After I transported this portion to our honey house, a wicked thunderstorm came up. I was the most severe storm that I've traveled in living here in the Inland Northwest. The wind gusts nearly blew me off the road! I thought the rain was going to come through the windshield. Luckily, I arrived home safe and watched the storm rage from the safety of my home!
