We have a couple of beekeepers in the family. Uncle Fred had traveled to Lincoln to assist with my cousin, John's annual honey harvest. Dale and I were lucky enough to get to observe the process and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
As they cut the caps from the honey combs and spin the combs to drain the honey the room is kept very warm to allow an easy flow of honey. It's warm and sticky but it smells really great and chewing on a bit of waxy honeycomb is quite a treat. I learned lots about beekeeping and it was fun to watch Uncle Fred and John enjoy their hobby.
