This is the little plastic gadget I use. It worked great in Cam's hive but Toby's bees were less cooperative. Who knows why. It was pretty easy to shake off the remaining bees though. Of course, it had to rain all day today for the first time in about a month and a half.
So far, we have six full supers in the shed, three still on the hives (not all capped yet) and a deep box full of honey.
I pulled the supers a couple of weeks easier than last year since we're going on vacation. I hate to have to take multiple trips our to the guy with the extracting business but I wasn't sure it was ok to pull the frames that were only half capped (some not capped at all). We'll see what happens.
