This decision depends largely on personal preferences. Therefore, no specific time is considered the best time to harvest honey in a day.
Suppose you are worried about choosing a time to harvest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. It will make your work easier because many bees will go out to collect nectar.
Harvesting at noon also means you harvest at the warmest time of the day, and this will prevent you from cooling or interfering with the bees in the hive during harvest. Although harvesting honey at noon has advantages, it is a flexible rule. Generally speaking, the best time to harvest honey is the time that suits you best.
Make sure the weather is warm enough. This makes it more challenging to extract honey from the honeycomb after the honey is taken from the honeycomb. For your comfort, try not to harvest honey on rainy days. If you can’t harvest at noon when bees are most active, try later in the afternoon when they settle down after a long time of work. They are usually milder and easier to handle at this time of day.
