This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. ...there's still so much to learn.

I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here.Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

Honey Harvest Helpers
Today I had great helpers for the honey harvest. My friends Tom and Gail brought their two children over to help harvest the honey.
We cut the honey off of the frames and Gabe and Ella used pestles to crush the honey in the big pan.
They were great at smashing the comb and crushing the honey.
The plan was for each of them to take a straining jar home with them to watch as the honey was strained.
