Hello,
As the topic states this is how to harvest a TB Hive. It's easy because you harvest each TBar as it becomes ready and never have to face an overwhelming task of harvesting 60 or more pounds or more at a time. I harvested this batch as liquid honey because the comb was messed up but in the future I will harvest comb honey because that's considered a more prestigious style for selling or gifts. The left over wax can be sold or made in a variety of products. Take care, Lisa
