First Honey of 2012

We had an exciting weekend.  We harvested our first batch of honey from our hives.  We only took two supers or layers of the hives to see how long the process would take.  We were amazed by the amount of honey these two supers produced.  We were in awe of the amount of work the bees did to collect pollen and make the honey.  The honey is sooo sweet and smells sooo good!

The bees hard at work.
