Honey Harvest ~Winfield Farms~



Courtland Winfield gearing up to go in and take a share of the Honey Production ~2011~ from the three hives that he started and maintains. Impressive amount of gear for the task and also a little hot since it was 90'+ when we did this.....

Interesting to watch from a distance but with proper procedure Courtland was able to remove 4 large sections with honey and only having 3 honey bees make the trip to the processing site...


Small sample provided to the author & photographer to keep him busy and not complaining about how hot it was....
