honey harvest
Beekeeper's golden collection
Honey harvest is the collection of honey from beehives, typically done once or twice a year when frames are full and capped.
Beekeepers remove frames, extract the honey, and return the emptied comb to the hive.
The timing matters—harvesting too early yields unripe honey, too late leaves bees without winter stores.
We got forty pounds from this year's honey harvest.
