For an update from September 26th, 2009 click here for pictures or check out the video on YouTube.
On the video, I mistakenly said each frame weights 9 pounds. Actually, each frame will weights between 4-5 pounds and there are 9 frames in each box. That is about 45 pounds total for a medium super like those I have.
Also, when I spoke of the bees evaporating the honey until it gets down to the correct rate. I should have said until the honey gets down to the proper (for the bees) percentage of moisture.
Finally, many thanks to John R. for taking the pictures and Video and posting them on the net for all to enjoy. Thanks John!
