September: Honey Making with the Martins

Night #2 found us harvesting honey from Brian's beehives. We thought our guests might be curious how you take comb and convert it to honey.


Lizzy showed them what a frame of honey looks like.


Andrew showed them that frames could have different colors based on what the bees were collecting.


Brian showed them how to remove the wax caps to release the honey.


Ethan showed them the best techniques of sampling honey.














Then we put the honey frames in the drum and each took turns spinning the drum!





And out popped honey!
