The honey super - upside down
Here I have placed the honey super (ie top level) from a native bee hive on a table and I am poking holes in the honey pots with a bamboo skewer. Soon I will flip the honey super over to allow the honey to pour out.
I intend to leave most of the propolis (mixture of bee wax and tree resin) so the bees can quickly rebuild.
The bees are still very calm - they are crawling around the hive and not flying in a defensive cloud.
