Well done them, and well done, you. If your experience matches the schmedia reports, that will 'bee' the only hive your have.

I went out in a pair of shorts and short sleeve shirt to do the drain...

once the bucket was filled we strained it into another bucket to get the little bits of wax out and that was it..

put it into jars and all done...

none of this getting into the hot bee suit, smoking the hive... taking it apart and pulling the full frames... put the hive back together..get out of bee suit and pack up gear.. spinning the frames... draining the spinner tank into a bucket.. strain it, bottle it.. pull the hive apart again and put the frames back in...

I might have to get another Flowhive or two and get rid of the standard one.. Wink

yes... they are called "Drones"

all they do is try and breed and eat free honey that others have made for free...

they are loafers who get kicked out in winter when stocks are low... lol...
