8oz jars, probably 15-18 jars of honey so probably 8-9 pounds of honey
What happens is you uncap the Frames, (bees store honey in the cells and cap it for later use). When you uncap, you take a hot knife (or an electric one) and just glide it over the frame. You scrape it too for the capped honey you couldn't get with the uncapping knife. It looks like a comb, and you just scrape over the honey comb.
Then you stick the frames in an extractor mine can handle 2 Super Frames. (supers are the smaller hive body). an extractor just spins the frames around, thus Slinging the honey out onto the extractor walls. It collects on the sides. You can eat it this way, or you can strain it to get the bits of wax out.
then you put it in the jars after its strained. I strain mine into a 5lb bucket (i think its something like 10lb bucket of honey, honey weights more than water of course). Jar it, and sell it and give it away.
This year i got allot less since its my first year, hives first year, and only got 1 super, which usually has 15-20lbs of honey in each super (I think not 100% sure). Next year my goal is 4 supers full of honey and hopefully 2 flows, so something like 160lbs the whole season.
yes Honey doesn't spoil (just crystallizes, and you can heat it up and use it again), Me and MrILoveTheAnts talk allot, we made that Ant chat I posted a few days ago. I didn get pictures of the process but I can do a redo A fake extraction for you guys
