It was honey harvest day for the Beta Hive! The girls capped eight and a half frames out of nine!
Extracted about 35 pounds of honey from 9 frames of a medium honey super.
Returned the empty honey super to the hive so the girls can clean it up. I'll check on that in a couple of days or so.
Looked through the honey super frames on the Alpha hive. Didn't see that many hive beetles. There were hundreds more bees up in the honey super. They have repaired damaged comb and have been storing honey!!
So, for this year the total honey harvest has been 130 pounds(95lbs from Alpha, 35 lbs from Beta).
