Observation: Honey extraction will only occur on the hottest of days, outside, always in full sun…so there is sticky shit and random bees everywhere.
In my experience.
…Need to empty the trash, delete unnecessary files, then restart…just sayin…
I don’t know that to be fact, but I trust you on this point. It makes sense that the honey would run best, which is to say be the most liquid, on a hot day. I’m good with outdoors and in full sun too.
Of all of the gallons of honey that I’ve consumed in my 74 years, and I’ve eaten a lot of honey, I’ve never seen even a part of one bee’s body in any of it. Not once. Ditto for other “stuff” in the honey. Perhaps I’ve been lucky.
Full disclosure, most of the honey I’ve eaten in my life has been commercial. Not, however, all of it. Maybe 20% has come from individual, non-commercial apiarists.
Honey is the most ‘counterfeited’ commercial product in the US today, I have read.
My brother keeps bees, harvest is <10 gallons per year so can have all I would ever need.
He makes tasty mead with the excess…I assume it’s tasty as that is the only mead I’ve ever tasted.
Bees are fun until you hear the words “you don’t need a bee suit”…it is at that moment you absolutely NEED a bee suit.
I believe I have read something to that effect too.
