My wife and I have become interested in keeping bees after a visit to friends in France, we are both complete novices and just starting out. . We have decided this is best time for us to start so we can organize ourselves slowly into starting of this wonderful venture and hobby. I will be keeping the hive at the bottom of our back garden, were I am preparing the area in readiness to place the hive.

Extraction
Well i decided to check my hives and all doing well, i extracted a super of the main hive Le-Pige and estimate about 30 pounds of honey, cracking hive as she gave me 46 pounds in spring.
The other two hives doing well in brood etc. but super not used hardly so I took 5 each of the frames 10 in total,i extracted and put them on the two hives 5 each give them some help.
