our honey extractor

I’m exhausted, my back aches, legs are weak, arms sore, and I have my 6th bee-stung belly in 4 incidences.

Hour drive to hive, hour back — left 10:30am, got home 11pm.

Extracted 50 pounds of Fall honey from 17 frames, plus another two frames we had to bring home with the honey unextracted because we experimented with wax foundation frames which came apart when I spun them too fast in the extractor.

Looks like we might have to harvest again in a couple weeks, maybe 20 pounds more;.

That makes 20 pound harvest of spring honey and 50 pounds of fall honey bottled – third harvest could bring our total to 100 pounds, which is good for a first year hive.

Our Spring honey was light in color and taste, our Fall honey is three times darker and muskier in taste. Love them both but find Fall more intriguing.

Status Report 83

I read on average age 45 eyes start to decline.
I was right on time.

Asked doc why lower valve in throat weakened
letting stomach acid up throat
doc said “age.”

Asked dentist why I get dry mouth
dentist answered “age”.

Seems time comes down to death or decline.
