Frame to Jar: My Full Honey Harvest/Extraction Process - September in the Apiary
In this September honey‑harvest video, Laurence Edwards and his team walk viewers through a complete honey extraction day at their apiary. The segment opens with a quick planning discussion: after a partial harvest the previous day, today’s goal is to remove all remaining honey from the frames and extract it. The beekeepers note the bees’ heightened activity, the cloudy weather, and the need for protective gear. They talk about using a smoker from the start, keeping veils on, and handling feisty bees safely. The video proceeds to show the step‑by‑step process—removing frames, uncapping, placing them in a centrifugal extractor, collecting the honey, filtering, and bottling—while offering practical tips on equipment, timing, and bee management. Throughout, the tone remains conversational and instructional, emphasizing both efficiency and bee safety.
