Finished!

Extracted thirty-five pounds of honey (approximately 3 1/2 gallons). honey is a dark amber color. Likely left the frames a little wet, but since I am not a commercial beekeeper, I am finew giving the bees the frames that are a little wet. The amazing thing is how fast the bees clean the harvestng equipment and wet frames. The bees should have everything cleaned up in about 9 hours. Depending on what we do later I might start bottling honey tonight.

Pictures of the harvest will be published later.
