I grew up beside a HUGE bee operation in Fla and his dad always had hives. The honey doesn't even compare to store bought. My daughter has tried to convince us to get some bees but I don't think I could stand the suits......now maybe the "no pants" route would be better for the harvest! Seems the only times I remember my husband getting stung they went down in his pants, your mom was onto something here!!!!!!<br /><br />Pat your husband on the back for a job well done on the extractor too!!!! I kinda like having a man around who can build anything, don't you?? However he always springs jobs like this on me at the last minute too, like when he decided on the coldest day of the year with snow 30" deep to go out to the garage and defrost the dagone chest freezer!!! Urgh!!<br /><br />Great post!! Enjoy all that liquid gold!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319782161332634827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-63915170684357289452010-08-04T14:15:23.464-05:002010-08-04T14:15:23.464-05:00Ok, I will be waiting for my honey!!!

There are no farms so they only have wild flowers and fruit trees and gardens and such to work. Also our long, severe winters are rough on the bees but we keep trying to do everything we can to help the little guys along.<br /><br />Your hubby's homemade extractor looks just as professionally constructed as the purchased ones!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-24064850814498662812010-08-02T17:57:10.775-05:002010-08-02T17:57:10.775-05:00I can't be more proud of you two than I am now...I can't be more proud of you two than I am now!<br />you guys are the best!popsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-7152584611736767392010-08-02T12:16:13.420-05:002010-08-02T12:16:13.420-05:00Wow...and you asked ME where I got my energy?

And he can build just about anything, wonder why I never thought of a clean up crew!

Your husband is very mechanical. Why can't he build a robot to do all the cleanup. Build two and send me one. And if you could make mine look like Josh Holloway, thank you.Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-84728507818300821942010-08-02T07:29:36.063-05:002010-08-02T07:29:36.063-05:00AWESOME!

I had no idea how that all went. I'm sure your honey is divine...both the one you're married to, and the stuff you harvested. Love that your hubby built the thing himself. And I also love that your mom put her pants on. :)Amy Dingmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955555538158746355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189671574682624358.post-56183592016331111672010-08-02T06:02:55.723-05:002010-08-02T06:02:55.723-05:00So my honey bear will be in the mailbox soon right...So my honey bear will be in the mailbox soon right?
