Frames are done (almost).
« on: February 23, 2017, 11:32:24 am »
Finished building the frames I'll need for this year (I hope).  :eusa_dance:
Every nuc I sell means 4 frames leave. I needed more honey supers so I got frames for that. I've been plunking away here and there over several days and I'm done.
I still have around 70 or 80 comb honey frames to do, 5 3/4" wedge top. But no urgency for those. I hope to try more comb honey production this year.

G3farms - That's the Api Packer I got in PEI with that super deal I got a couple years ago. It's the automatic bottler that I have yet to use.

riverbee - I use edible foundation, wafer like paper thin stuff for comb honey.

That stack is just the last of the frames I've built this year. I've already hauled out twice that to the honey house. :D
