[@Flowerhen]

Your videos are extremely entertaining....I really enjoy them. I just found a local beekeeper in the next town over who is going to put 2 hives on my property so that I can learn how to care for them before I get my own. I was ready to order my hives this weekend and decided to go this way instead. He has several hives on his property like you do. I look forward to the next video showing how the trash can bees did with the move.

[@SPQR-Z]

That's some good looking comb honey you got there. I get hungry for honey every time I watch people harvesting. Have to rustle up the left over dinner rolls toast & butter them up and then slather on some fresh honey. My uncle Tex got me started in beekeeping helping him during summer vacation on his ranch in Lubbock. He ran 500 hives back in the 70's and I'm still at it. We do mostly comb honey because that's what people seem to want in our market. Thanks for posting the vid.

what do you package it for in those containers for, instead of putting it directly into an extractor? for preservation?

[@suziamazon]

Thank God for honeybees & comb honey! My dad used to buy me comb honey when I was kid in the early 70's, late 60s at the health food store . .. How do we get our bees to do that? Duh, I mean what kind of foundation for our frames? We do manage to harvest some comb honey but only in chunks hahhahahahaah what a sticky mess we make. My daughter and I enjoy your videos for educational purposes ..and sorry to say you are unintentionally funny with your southren boy charm , at least to us Cheeseheads! Peace & God Bless you & yours

[@isabellundstedt1430]

To just have honey do you just establish a hive then move the queen so the bees only make honey or do they have different sections in the hive?

[@pepabukas]

this is by far the nicest honey comb I seen..I would love to try it..

[@billybobs123]

hello I am a fairly new bee keeper and i have 9 hives. i purchased one hive as a nuc 4 or 5 months ago and it really took off, it grew very rapidly. now it seems to be decreasing in size quite rapidly. it is once again about the size of a nuc again, all the other hives around it seem to be doing fine. the queen is still there and i found eggs, larva, and brood but not much at all, i live in the houston texas area and not sure what to do, also the hive does have a lot of hive beetles and i dont know if that could be the problem. all other hives have the freeman SHB bottom board trap so not real a hive beetle problem with the others. i also added a jar of sugar water and they dont seem to be wanting it at all, I'm hoping you can give me some ideas on what might going on. thanks

[@WallsBeeMan]

Any hive I run across with a lot of hive beetles, I put several, say 4 ( hive beetle buster ) traps between the top bar. I really hate to guess but if I had to, I would question the queen. If she was a real good queen, I think you would know it. Sorry I can't help you more....tim sr

[@fermelpe]

***** Do you put beewax foundation in the frames before putting it back into the hive or they build everything from nothing?

[@poodidi9]

hi, do you need to need to put anything in the frame for the bees to start making comb?

[@SullivanFamilyHomestead]

New Subscriber here! FANTASTIC video!!! I love it!! I'm goin' back to start checking out more of your videos! I want so badly to do beekeeping, but am allergic to bees and because of that, kinda afraid of them. lol. But, I have a friend who has started beekeeping and maybe i can convince her to take care of a hive for me too. ;-)

[@shoppingwar9221]

do they have stamped wax?

[@WallsBeeMan]

No, the bees make the comb while their making the honey

[@tomhackman8115]

Do u put ready bought wax in the middle of the frames for bees to make honey?

[@WallsBeeMan]

yes. It is called sheets of foundation. All the bee supply houses sell it

[@lyndadraper8684]

How do you cut it out without a mess if I froze the whole frame of honey comb? Do I completely thaw it first? I cut some half frozen and it tasted amazing but ran everywhere!

[@WallsBeeMan]

When we cut the comb out of the frames, we place them on bakers racks and let the edges drain before placing on the container

[@daniellaarellano2076]

I guess temperatures will decide if it stays in a square or melts into a puddle? Do you keep them in a refrigerator? I realize these are slightly dumb questions.. considering I’m a beekeeper! I’ve never done the squares and I want to try it!

[@WallsBeeMan]

Do try the squares. No, we do not keep them in the frig......tim

[@billybobs123]

do you put foundation in the frame? if not what do you do?

[@arachnidalience8614]

how does honey with the comb taste spacificly.

[@bobbyhogeland9317]

Where did you find the containers for the squares? Thanks.

[@WallsBeeMan]

Alkl the bee supply houses should have them. Kellybeees on Ky in one...tim

[@lisadulian229]

Were those foundationless frames you used? I'm a beginner. Have you ever used foundation frames in a medium super?

[@Elena15441]

Does the comb has a foundation in it or it is drawn without any foundations? If there is no foundation how did you get it so perfectly straight? Looks really great.

[@WallsBeeMan]

yes, there is a sheet of very thin comb foundation in the frame

[@Elena15441]

Thank you. Prefer to eat a honey comb without a foundation like from the top bar hive though...

[@ericnmoen]

What size frame do you use and do you use a thin wax foundation in the frame? Thanks. Enjoyed the video.

[@garst59]

I want to have comb honey like yours. So I built a honey super and, on your advise, purchased pre-cut frames to assemble myself. The brood chamber is over 90% full. So I placed a shallow super on top, with no foundation and no queen excluder. It's been a week, but they don't seem interested in drawing comb up there yet. I talk to them but they don't seem to listen. I wonder if you have a "trick". Bees listen to you!

[@garst59]

It sure is pretty!

[@kentholmes3648]

Looked on your website Tim. Not selling comb honey anymore?

[@WallsBeeMan]

Sorry. The bees just made so much......Thank you for subscribing to my channel.....tim

[@Sheriff_K]

What makes going for comb honey different than normal?

[@WallsBeeMan]

extracting honey is a lot different from going for comb honey. Work is work but it is different. Managing the bees is a lot different. You can not have any eggs laid in the comb honey at all. Commercial beekeepers that extract do not worry at all about eggs being laid in the honey supers. You don't make near the amount of honey when doing comb honey.

[@Sheriff_K]

@@WallsBeeMan I heard you have to "crowd" them to make them not lay eggs in the honey supers (and that that increases risks of swarming?) How does one go about insuring that eggs aren't laid there?

[@ubercornstock4228]

So question. I dont bee keep or anything, but i might, but im curious, after you got it in the squares, can you just eat it like that? Or is there more that needs to be done, because ive seen people put honey comb in jars, then fill then up with honey and sell them like that. If anyone could answer i would appreciate it, thanks.

[@judepetersen4969]

Great Video. Where did you get those containers you used. I'm looking for some. Thanks.

[@alexayounginsong2641]

Where can I get the same knife with white handle? and the other?

[@WallsBeeMan]

This knife is very good for cutting out comb honey. I'm pretty sure It's called a pin knife and sold a lot of places. we're had it so long I don't remember where we bought it. The blade is thin. Please subscribe to this channel..........thank you...tim

[@alexayounginsong2641]

@@WallsBeeMan I cannot find it in Amazon. >_< instead of pin knife, it is showing "pink knife" Can you find it for me in amazon? or any other website that shows the same thing or similar at least? Or I will pay you from paypal and buy for me and send to me? It would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance ~ We can do it through "whatsapp."

[@cossvp]

do you wrap the comb and what type of wrap, where do you get the boxes, what is approximate weight of a square of the honey?

[@WallsBeeMan]

You must or need to use the shallow supers when going for comb honey as this is the size of the boxes. The clear plastic boxes are 4" square and all bee supply houses have them. We don't wrap the comb honey, we put the square in these boxes. The weight of each square will very depending on the thickness of the comb. General 13 to 16 ounces

[@ronniewilliams6978]

I have been told that you stand a chance of hive beetle getting into the comb before harvest, then hatching after it has been packaged. This would be very bad for sales. What is your opinion on this? Do you have a good way to keep hive beetles out?

[@ronniewilliams6978]

Ok thanks. I was misinformed I guess. I was told that they layed eggs into honey frames.

Ah, ok. I'm only 21 and i've never seen honey like that in stores. I watched your other videos and figured that bit out. it's truly a new thing for me lol.How do you ensure that no bees are in the honey comb? i've seen methods like cherry screens to make the bees go down and queen filters that keep the queen in the bottom brood. Thanks for the history lesson on the comb honey :D

[@jamskinner]

There won’t be bees in capped honey.

[@laylow8648]

Sir, Thank You. You’re the Real Deal.

[@WallsBeeMan]

I appreciate that......tim

[@billybobs123]

how would harvesting uncapped honey be a problem?

[@WallsBeeMan]

Most beekeepers cut the cappings off and put the frames in an uncapped and sling the honey out.

[@billybobs123]

I have a 2 year old hive, I went in it today and there were 10 to 15 empty queen cells, there is no brood no eggs no larva lots of bees, cant find a queen. what do you think is going on?

[@WallsBeeMan]

Next time ask me for an easy answer. I first guess is, you have a virgin queen in the hive and in a week & a half when you go in again, you will see eggs. I don't like to guess but of course we have to guess what is the most likely answer. The next time you go in, look for two things. As you pull the frames apart, observe if bees are clinging from one frame to the next one like a bracelet. Also, see if many of the bees are fanning on the frames. Read the next part carefully. If you see the bracelet, there's a queen in the hive and if you see the fanning, no queen. Here's the part to really note. Just because you don't see either one, doesn't mean anything.

[@TheCascadeHunter]

When you install your shallow supers do you put two or more on at the same time or wait until one gets drawn out before putting on the second shallow super?

[@TheCascadeHunter]

***** Thank you. This is my first year for shallow super cut comb.

[@TheCascadeHunter]

***** Are you using a queen excluder to maintain virgin comb in the supers?

[@TheCascadeHunter]

***** Love watching your videos.

[@jenbyrne6831]

IS the frame you use to make cut comb a reg. Frame or a special frame im asking because I don't see any foundation,i am interested in making cut comb to sell. Thank you.

[@dkaiyumi]

Let me ask you something ..don´t you use wires to secure the comb foundation on the supers? Im asking cause here to put the frames on the extractor I have to use the wires.

[@gumbi1972]

***** I was getting ready to put my order in for Kelley today, I guess I am adding in another piece!! The plastic I was wondering about was the see-thru plastic you put the cut comb into for storage and sale? It would make a great holder for Comb Honey for Christmas presents!

[@will5430]

Did you use wax foundation or let the bees create their own from scratch?

[@WallsBeeMan]

I will always use foiundation because it is so important for the bee's combs to be straight. Very important. Otherwise, you stand the chance of the combs being a mess and you will not be able to check your frames

[@will5430]

Thanks!

[@thoughtyness]

Hi, Thank You for the information and your wonderful description! May I ask the dimensions of your frame that is used for the Comb Honey please? Also, does it slow down the bees from filling the honey Super?

[@SamuelLimawan]

Thanks. I'm curious where is the honeycomb foundation in the frame as usually installed? Do you use it?

[@joewillhatch]

Samuel Limawan If he’s making comb honey, there is no foundation. the bees draw it out naturally. You can tack a strip of wood (like half a paint stir stick) along the inside top and brush with melted beeswax to give them a hint on where to draw it down from.
