We have a bee hive, but have never harvested it because we don't have a smoker and the protective clothes.Is it that the hives are elsewhere and you didn't take pictures of the frames being removed and transported for extraction?Any advice on how to learn to actually take the frames from the hive would be very appreciated.

Is it that the hives are elsewhere and you didn't take pictures of the frames being removed and transported for extraction?

Any advice on how to learn to actually take the frames from the hive would be very appreciated.

You can look online also at any of their online beekeeping info. Also look for local beekeeping associations. We have one that meets monthly and mans an educational display at the local fairs. @Anais, Check out your county cooperative extension office for good info.
