Hello,

At first we need to put on special clothes and hat.

Then with a special box - swarm retrieval and special smoker ( thing, which make bees not so angry)
we are going to a hive

and put its to a swarm retrieval

After that, we need to clean frames from bees wax.

Then frames are ready to get honey out off its.

There is a special machines for that, we use mechanical one,
because we don't have so many hives to use electrical.

And after that we have a fresh, clean, ecological, very delicious and useful for health honey.

If you would like to taste my honey - I could change it to a Steems:)
I even have a Steem hive in my homestead with a young family of bees.

Hey, that was a great explanation. Do you also do swarm catching?

And... what is the frame size? Do I see an einraumbeute/golden hive model?

Thank's for comment@beestem
