Maintaining

Not too much has needed to be done with any of the hives for some time. They are all still bringing in nectar, which is great this late in the year.
We did have an opportunity to remove a super of capped honey from one of the hives at the Dolores Park location for a photo shoot done by Bi-Rite. They have a book in the works about food supply chains and wanted to include some shots of the hives we maintain for them.
The book will not be out until later in 2011, but we'll surely keep you posted.
Meanwhile, we've also taken honey off of the newer hive at the original location a couple more times. We are just waiting now for a chance to get the extractor and spin it all out of the comb. This makes a total of four supers from the one hive so far, plus one more from the new location. Lots of sticky sweetness.
