The time has come to extract honey - an extremely exciting day for us. In this picture Jim and me (Alex) are getting the hives ready for extraction. The first step is getting the bees out of the honey super. In the picture I am holding the super up (which probably weighed 40 pounds) while Jim put a bee escape on below it. A bee escape is basically a one-way door for the bees. In the picture it is a hole in the center of the piece of plywood.
