HONEY!!




Last Monday we went to get an extractor so we could rob some honey.  We bought the extractor and a few other necessities for robbing the honey.  Then we went home and closed all our garage doors so the bees couldn't come in.  Then brought the extractor into the garage so we would be prepared. This is what the extractor looked like.











We had to spin the honey ourselves. It took about 4 hours to do the honey.  The honey poured out this little spout in the extractor into a bowl. We had to uncap the honey so that when we put it in the extractor the honey would actually come out. Ha ha!







 Once the bowl was full we would get a strainer to get all the comb out.  Here is the finished product.



We got about 24 lbs of honey. We have a 16 ounce jar $10 and a 12 ounce jar $7. Bye!!
