Now a beloved Chicago tradition celebrating its 40th anniversary, The Goodman Theatre ushers in the holiday season with its adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic holiday story A Christmas Carol. Audiences look forward to the “bah humbugs,” the electrifying arrival of the ghosts, the jubilant musical numbers and dancing, and Scrooge’s joyful rediscovery of life, love and the Christmas spirit. Goodman’s Carol continues to lift heats and spirits after four decades more than a million visitors, and the timeless holiday tale promises to be merrier and more magical than ever. The Daily Herald says the play is “the crown jewel of the holiday season” — find out for yourself or relive the magic again. Tickets on Goldstar start for the November 17th performance and go through December 19th.

Pulled a few supers yesterday and just started extracting; looks to be a good season – no pun intended! Our house doesn’t go the fancy route; plain Ball jars work for us. Here’s a few shots from today’s operation. Slice off the wax cap with a tool that looks and works rather like a hot flat iron (wax is dripping into another container in picture), then two frames go in the stainless steel extractor, where centrifugal force pushes the honey to the bottom, it’s poured into the top stainless steel vat in the second photo and allowed to drain through three filters until it reaches the plastic bucket with spigot you see me filling. After a super (ten frames) is emptied you move it out quickly so the hive bees and other locals can clean off the remaining honey. Nothing wasted! There’s a short video of the honey flow on FB.
