Autumn Harvest Orchard, LLC >> Announcements , Wildlife >> Honey Supers ๐Ÿ- June 2022

The honey supers were added June 20, 2022.  These bees look good and they built up both hive boxes below with brood and honey.  Letโ€™s all pray they fill up the honey supers and then survive the winter.

Honey supers are part of the beehive, and used to collect honey.

A honey super consists of a box in which 8โ€“10 frames are hung for bees to collect nectar and store in a honeycomb. Once the honeycombs are full, bees reduce the moisture content and cap the comb with beeswax.

That’s when we take the full supers and extract honey for your enjoyment.
