What to Bring if you are extracting:
– Honey Supers. Please wrap each super individually in a plastic bag. Please also label each super with your name. If you saved the cardboard boxes from your hive parts, they will fit the super, and are easy to carry.
– Honey Buckets. You will need to bring at least 2 buckets with tight-fitting lids. Bring a 3 ½ or 5 gal. food-grade plastic bucket and lid for each full super of honey (available as surplus from bakeries or for sale by beekeeping supply vendors). If you want to save your wax, bring one bucket and lid to carry your cappings (it will hold all your wax).
Where to bring the supers: Upon arrival, follow the signs to parking or super drop off. You don’t want to carry your supers from the parking area.
Restrictions: Please do not bring pets.
