Honey Harvest! Extracting and Bottling

It's honey harvest season and we're excited to walk you through our extraction and bottling process! In this video we've already pulled the frames (watch our episode on pulling frames - link below). Now we're ready to uncap the honey and put the frames in our extractor! We give lots of good tips and information throughout the process, like Tip Number One: Don't extract honey in a cool or cold place" and Tip Two: Don't extract honey outside!
