This particular job was much more challenging and labor intensive than what we typically run into. It was tough to show on video since we had to get work done and recording was not possible at some points. Also the wind noise in the mic made quite a bit of footage unusable.
We were both physically used up by the end of this one. In the video it looks like we finished up at sunset when in reality it was around ten thirty at night when we were packed up and rolling out of there. I was so dehydrated I couldn't stand up straight. It took two days for me to get back to feeling normal. I think Pete fared a little better since he doesn't sweat nearly as bad as I do.
Pete took the honey home with him. After processing it he ended up with about two gallons. I didn't ask how much wax he had.
I took the bees with me and set them up in a nuc that belongs to a young man named Gideon. I'll get them fed and doing good and then he and his mom and come pick them up.
