Doug's Backyard Bees Quality, local, raw honey. Metropolis, IL. Doug McLelland (270) 366-3246

We completed our autumn honey harvest yesterday, utilizing several updated extraction methods.

The installation of the spring feet from HillCo, LLC , proved highly effective, as they provided excellent pressure absorption and load stabilization.

We integrated a hop spider for cappings filtration; while we are currently refining the procedure, we are making steady progress in optimizing the workflow.

Having successfully harvested several hundred pounds of fall honey, we are now transitioning our focus to winterizing the colonies. It remains a rewarding season for our apiary operations.
