- About me:
- Just finished a training at Heifer International Farm (October 2010) )and learned about beekeeping, including harvesting honey from the hives. Am looking to possibly place a hive in my backyard, but I have questions as to location and amount of space. Got these issues resolved thanks to Chantel. Will place my order for bees in January 2011. In the meantime, I'm building my hive boxes to be ready for April bees pickup.

Hi Mike,
Your extraction event sound fun, I recently purchased a radial extractor and have extracted over 140 lbs so far from 7 hives and about 40-60lbs additional pending from a lang and a topbar, if i don't split them. We extracted about one third through crush and strain and the remainder with our new extractor which is a hand crank but can be easily motorized, holds 9 deeps or 18 mediums/shallows. Hopefully i will be able to upgrade my extractor next spring to motorized.
Hi Mike,
You asked me a question regarding my fruits and vegetables being organic. We grow organically, but are not going through the certification process. I use natural fertilizers and do not use chemicals.
I somehow missed and lost your comment since I am new at using this site.
Thanks,
Ed
Mike and Phyllis Griffin
