Double Score

[brant2000]

So I posted a little while back about some nearby relatives that were going to have two huge sugar maples hauled away. To my delight, they had a change of heart and were gracious enough to let me take the wood instead. They mentioned the tree trimmers found a section that contained a large honeycomb, which they hauled off with. Well, while cutting, I noticed a soft spot followed by the sweet smell of honey! I collected what was left of the pieces of honeycomb that seemed loaded up, threw them in a roasting pan in the oven to melt it down. I think I'm going to need to find a way to do a final strain, but seems like I got quite a bit of honey out of it.

I cut into a honey log once too. That sweet smell came right out. I got some of the honey but it was full of chips and tree debris. I was only able to salvage about a cup.
