We have a winner!🥇
Bill Thompson came the closest with his guess of 158 gallons.
Congratulations!
We extracted 1922 pounds which works out to 160 gallons. It took us 3.5 hours to remove all the honey supers from the hives (thanks to Dylan our grandson for doing all the heavy lifting) and 4 days to spin all the frames.
Now to make some splits for the new queens we have arriving today. 🐝
Thank you to everyone who took time to participate and to all our customers!!
