About this episode
After building your colonies up in the spring, managing them through the early summer, collecting them out of the trees and out of the bushes after they swarm and all the effort maintaining their health… your goal as a beekeeper is to harvest honey. You've lifted the supers of honey from the hives, get it to your garage, shed or even kitchen and you pull a frame of pure honey out… and now what?!! This is the meaning of all that time, effort and money. So, how do you get the honey out from under that wax cappings? In today's episode Kim and Jim discuss the different means available to a backyard beekeeper to remove the cappings and get that frame set to extract. How do you uncap?
