STAGE 1 The Invention of the Langstroth Hive Introduction of the European Honeybee to New Zealand Contrsuction of Honey Comb Propolis creation and benefits for humans Drones, Workers, Queen Bee and Bee Behaviour Re-Queening and Royal Jelly
Your Beekeeper will run over the history of the Beehives we use in New Zealand, and explain how a colony builds honey comb, converts nectar into honey and they operate seamlessly as a colony within each hive. We'll also cover the basics of propolis, beeswax and Royal Jelly - and how these amazing compounds are produced by bees. Then you will begin working with a fresh frame of honey. STAGE 2 UNCAPPING & SPINNING
Remove the ‘capping’ from your frame to expose the delicious honey underneath. Then we will spin your frame in a powered extractor. Watch through the clear lid to see your honey flying out under the centrifugal force. Ready to pour out the ‘honey gate’. STAGE 3 FILTERING & BOTTLING
Open the 'Honey Gate' and watch your honey pour into a filter to remove any beeswax. Once filtered, its ready to bottle. You can lick the honey off your fingers now, and get your photo taken for your personalized honey label.
