Racks of honey are collected from a hive.
Smokers sit outside of the door to keep the bees away from the house.
Racks of honey wait to be extracted.
A hot knife is used to remove the wax caps from the honeycomb.
It is a sticky job and a lot of work using an old fashioned honey extractor to obtain honey but our family loves our bees.
Golden treasures I contain,
Guarded by hundreds and thousands.
Stored in a labyrinth where no man walks,
Yet men come often to seize my gold.
By smoke I am overcome and robbed,
Then left to build my treasure anew.
What am I?
