Two Hive Cut Outs

On August 23, the FBBBs* united with Bob MacMullin to remove two wild hives from the wall of the abandoned Bomac lumber mill in Arcata. Much stickiness ensued. The bees were amazingly mellow, though it took Julia & Bob a few days to get all of the bees to go to their new homes.



I processed the honeycomb, and extracted close to 3 gallons of honey. There are plans to make mead with some, with plenty left over for each of us to take some honey home.
