:heart_eyes: I got just over 4 litres/ 6 kg of honey from two frames!

I had to cover the operation with Glad wrap (sad wrap) as I had about 15 bees belly-flopping into the jar. Some of the curious ones even flew into the key slot!

Do you know if you got any honey leaks onto the brood? I had a bit of a theory that with wet caps, you get more leaking. Then I turned my thoughts towards caps that are close to the mechanism, such as the caps at the bottom of the bottom photo are. I wonder if you got any leakage there.
