Honey Extraction for Mead and Beer

Our bees produce honey for us so that we can make mead, honey beers and braggot. We also eat plenty of it as well.
This is a quick insight as to how we extract the honey, which some brewing fans might appreciate.
It's important to note, that we always leave the bees with more food over winter than they can eat, so they are healthy and strong for the next summer.

Very nice. Do the bees have access to a wide range of wild flowers to provide a unique honey?

[@brewandbuild]

They do. It depends on the time of year as to how the honey tastes.
Early season, it's all fruit trees flowering. Mid season it's mainly large trees, such as Sycamore, and late season, it's all clover and ground flowers.
If we extract honey at different times, we get quite different flavours.
