3rd Harvest

7/26/2014

0 Comments

 
Pulled a box - well, most of a box - of round sections off E today, leaving a few that were not quite built out and one or two where the lackey loading the frames failed to place rings (dolt!).  

(I've decided to stop using the brand name in writing or conversation.

Sorry, Lloyd, but what have you ever done for me? - not like even the guy you bought the company from came up with the idea himself
.) 


Anyway, a few lessons learned:

a.  Brush harvesting is somewhat problematic due to the geometry of the frames (get on it, Lloyd!),

b.  Once frames are bee-less and inside, popping the sections into covers really couldn't be easier;

c.  Most of a box of sections is a lot of sections.


Reloaded the frames and popped the box on O - she's now got a little of everything:
     - A comb shallow,
     -  A shallow
     -  A medium
     -  A meep

all atop a queen excluder over two deeps.


And of course everything but the comb shallow is full...

    The Proprietor of Skyline  Apiaries.

    Or his sidekick.

    Or factotum.

    Or a minion.

    Maybe a mere employee.

    Never a lackey, though - one has to draw the line somewhere.
