We also purchased a 12 frame, electric extractor from a very nice fellow we were introduced to via my step-grandpa who is a mail carrier. Cecil knew that we were just getting into the "honey business" and Leon Bradon on his mail route was getting out. We got the heads up from Cecil and made a phone call. The extractor is amazing! Like new and Leon sold it to us for a great price...it was so generous of him to do so! So this honey harvest went even smoother than last year with our excellent extractor.
I made a few new friends and purchased the cutest cards and little notebook that I plan to keep our beekeeping notes in. K & A Alesandrini are beekeeper themselves and make paper goods, their store front name being Little Alexander and I stumbled upon their lovely products while browsing on Esty one day. K is an artist and her "color me combine cards" on her site just screamed, "Robert!" I just had to purchase a pack...and while doing so saw their "bee hive" cards and their cute notebooks. They, unfortunately, lost both their hives this past winter. I wish them the best of luck as they look to begin again next year...and thank them for their cute, quality items! Here is their shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleAlexander
BEE SPITTLE!
