Country Bees
Skies were clear, temp was about 85 degrees, very little wind.

Harvested the top hive deep of the three deeps.  Noticed on May 20th that the top deep looked like it was completely full of honey but did not want to disturb the bees until today.  Turns out the top deep was full of honey.  The harvest yielded just over 3 gallons.  It will be settling for a day or two and then it will be bottled.  Currently the Country bees have 2 deeps and 2 honey supers.

Bottled 28 and 1/2  pint jars from this harvest.
