My gardens and orchard are hosts to bumblebees and mason bees up here in Wisconsin, but there's just something about watching you work with honeybees that is as entrancing as it is educational. I may never have a hive of my own, but you've improved my appreciation of these diligent workers.

      Most of those combs did not have much honey but lots of eggs and larvae, one does does not place those in the extractor (a centrifuge) as it will destroy them. The honey combs are located at the upper lever of a hive, în smaller frames, where been instinctual lu deposit only honey. The queen lays eggs deep into the hive.

In Victoria Australia, That was so easy in the toilet, They could not burry somebody two doors next to this grave because of this hive, which had the biggest slab of concept on top. The grave was so old we could not find a name. This grave had sunk about two feet deep,the hive was the full length of the grave, This hive must have been there since BC 3.I enjoyed doing it. Because I was not going to have a another chance in doing that.

    Quick question - do some bees get squashed when you place pieces of comb into your frames? I'm sure that even with your gentle and careful work, some collateral damage is inevitable where there are so many bees clustered together so densely. Just wondering how common that is.
