And this is what happened: After his youngest daughter had followed the events around the bees with great interest, and also actively supported him in the design and production of the honey jar labels, she now urgently wished to give her birthday guests one jar of her own honey each.

This was reason enough for the garden beekeeper to carry out the first trial extraction (the pilot run so to speak, e.g. to test the logistics). To do this, he removed two honeycombs that were largely covered with wax (an indication of the honey's maturity), determined the water content for safety's sake anyway, removed the wax lids with an uncapping fork and extracted the honey.

4 kg of golden yellow blossom honey - the garden beekeeper's first own honey - runs from the centrifuge through two sieves into the filling bucket. From there it was filled directly into jars.
