Extracting honey

Some of the honey is ready to be taken off the hives. But there is still a lot that is not quite capped enough yet to be taken.

I have also been stealing frames of brood and giving them to small nucs with new queens in them. The brood from the 2008 swarm queen on frames of new foundation put into the second brood box a few weeks ago was just about flawless and without a single cell missing or any chalk brood.
