It'd be interesting to watch a time lapse of the bees cleaning the pans.

I suck at videography. Someone's gonna have to teach me that one.

49 lbs. A good colony can produce 100 lbs, but you need good conditions

I can imagine it would be difficult to film and catch a swarm at the same time

We all have to have day jobs. I am an accountant, so I won't be throwing

Probably dumb question but you seemed fairly concerned about robbing. What

Once the honey flow stops (usually July here, but intensifies with a dry August)

How much mead does 121 lbs of hone make?

I had bees for about 3-4 years and loved your video and updates.

Find a local beekeeping club. Many times there are people that can mentor you.
