Annette and I are new beekeepers and amazed at how well that are doing. The honey super is not almost full!

I just use a little smoke ( pine needles ) and a bee brush , with only six hives ( soon to be seven , an old swarm catch box that I put out three years ago has a swarm in it from this year ) I pull one frame at a time and gently brush the bees off , I can pull only the frames that are fully capped that way and get them back on quickly .

I would love to learn to do this but I've picked up too many hobbies lately.

Just remember to leave enough on so they can make it through the winter.

John's two deep hive bodies should pull him thru the winter. 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
