3 gallons from one hive. My second hive swarmed, so not enough honey to harvest yet. The third hive I'm harvesting this week for honeycomb.

The honey gets stored by the bees over months. Different pollen sources are available at different times, so it looks different in different places in the hive. I use a type of frame that let's me harvest each frame individually, so the different colors don't get all blended together.
