That is GOOD NEWS!!
I did something I probably shouldn't have done. I traded the bees. I traded them one frame full of capped honey out of the brood super for the frame in the picture above. Before you drag my name through the mud and bring me up on charges before PETA, I can only say that I am impatient to see what the honey tastes like. And OH MY GOSH -- IT.IS.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
It has a hit of a floral taste, which makes sense, but surprises me still. I have never tasted the floral taste in any other honey.
In my defense, after I let the honey drain off the frame that I stole, I put it back in the honey super for them. I gave it back...(...so they can fill it up again!)
I left them alone yesterday, but I don't know that I will be able to leave them alone too much longer! I want honey!!! That one frame gave me about a quart plus a pint. I gave some to 4 neighbors. OK, time for some math....
1 frame ======> 1 qt + 1 pt
therefore, 10 frame =====> 10 qt + 10 pt = 10 qt + 2.5 qt = 12.5 qt
12.5 qt = 3.125 gal!!
Therefore, 1 super ====> 3.125 gal, enough for us for about a year!!!
(I'M SO PROUD!)
