Smoke the hive as you do for inspections. Remove the top board and the inner cover. Inspect the frames to determine which ones have honey stores. Gently brush off as many bees as possible and place the honey frames in a bucket or tote. Be careful not to crush any bees!Close your hive again and take your frames to the extraction area you have set up. Crush and Strain Method With the crushing method, you take the whole comb and crush it to extract the honey, then strain it to remove all the wax. Crush the comb to release the honey. You can use the back of a spoon, a potato masher, a spatulapretty much any kitchen utensil. Then strain the wax from the honey through a fine mesh strainer. You may have to do this a couple of times to remove all the wax and particles.

The bees will have to rebuild their comb when you return the frames to their hive. Many beekeepers prefer this, because they like to harvest the beeswax as well as the honey.
