Taking off the honey at Cork Apiary

Our final demonstration took place on Saturday August 23rd when the supers were removed from the colonies.  The demonstration was primarily for those who started last Autumn with our beginners classes and then moved on to the practical demonstrations in April. As a culmination to the season removing the honey is enjoyable for all who partake.

Our Buckfast colony with 9 supers- You cant argue with that!
