Comb Honey

Toby's hive is doing a great job bringing in the nectar so I set the girls to work making comb honey for me. Check it out:

That's a frame in the top super that doesn't have foundation. The bees are filling it with pure new wax. Beautiful! Here's a close up.

I have three of these frames in the top super.  The other four frames are already full of honey.  The bottom super is full so I'm using it as a "queen excluder." If I'm lucky, they will draw these frames all the way out and then fill them with honey over the next couple of weeks. I can pull them after it's been capped and harvest the comb. Yum! We'll see how well it works.
