Honey Extracting Process (videos from 2014)

This panorama picture is from this year.  The videos below are from last year.

I shared a few short videos of our honey extracting process a few days ago on Face Book.  I thought I'd share the ones I took last year here as they give a little more info.  Most of these videos are only a few seconds long.  Two of them are a little over one minute.  So, even though there are several videos here, the total time of all of them combined isn't much over 5 minutes.  Hope you enjoy them.
