I had wild bees where ever I go. One Hive was 25 yrs old and between two Armoured walls.. It smell Like Honey around that Building. I now have two. One is now 6 yrs Old and they are like my pets. Never harvested. They are very kind to me. I got a New wild swarm about two month ago. Thinking, of something easy, as Elderly Lady. I saved bees once been frozen in 2016 giving a wild strange swarm frozen in water saved them giving them CPR to more than 20 bees using my warm breath about 10 - 15 min each.. In my country.

14:49 put the top cover on now without putting frames back in.. your gonna have a mess of comb jumble before long.. i left a swarm catch in a 10 frame deep brood box for a season with just 2 frames and got to practice my first cut out, had to cut off the corners of the metal covered lid, break off the sides and use a 12' long bread/cake knife to cut around the lid and separate the comb... it was an interesting learning curve lol.. the really funny part is they ignored the 2 frames i had in the box and i still had enough comb to rubber band up 11 deep frames.

Hello David. Thank you for all the good information. I’m new to beekeeping and had to harvest two hives last year by myself as my first experience. I have the same extractor you used in this video. To deal with the out of balance frame situation, I first mounted the legs together at the bottom on stout beech lumber plus three threaded rods half way up anchored to a center wooden hexagon. That did help, but not when the frame weights were unequal by a fair percentage and I was down to only a few frames so couldn’t mix and match anymore. That’s when i decided to make weight holders per frame pocket and add weights to the light side until both sides were close to equal. This solved the problem of the crazy vibrations from an unbalanced load that can’t be good on the extractor long term.. Sometimes I had to do the balancing process twice for the same two frames if they didn’t give up their bounty at the same rate (my fault from the occasional uneven and somewhat incomplete cap removal). And yes, I sealed the lead ingots i had made to prevent any chance of contamination. With all the fiddling and studying and cleaning I did I thought i would never get finished, but I was rewarded with my first supply of the golden treasure to give as a unique gift to people. My first beeswax refining experience had even more fool difficulties and delays, but that’s another story.

Hi David, the Finns have come up with a new kind of an improved flow frame they call the Smart Beebox System. The company manufacturing it is Paradise Honey. There are distributors in USA. All it is needed is to push a stick through to open and close the frames, Also, the honey collector system is simpler and more efficient. There is no need to collect the frames, cut them, spin them, and sieve the honey. Have a look at it while you play with your computer in the evening and tell us what you think about it. Also, the hungarians have come up with the hexacells, also distributed in USA. It is ready made pulled out comb. A hive kit with hexacell comb and the smart beebox system will make a beekeeper ready for harvest in the first year. Please give your advice. Thank you.

I'm a VERY new beekeeper. Like I only just got my first hive 1 month ago. My question is, I've works with resin for a long time and a trick for removing air bubble from resin is using a vacuum chamber. Have you ever heard of using a vacuum chamber to remove the air from honey? I LOVE your channel and I've already learned SOOO much from you only having watched a half dozen videos so far. I look forward to watching so much more. Thank you for your time and that of Patrick's as well! Shalom brothers!

After the air bubbles rise to the top of the honey, lay a piece of saran wrap on top. The air bubbles will stick to it and when you remove the saran wrap, the bubbles will come up with it. Then the honey on the wrap can be used at home. No waste.

This works better with wax foundation, but if you have plastic foundation you'll have to scrap it off. It's destructive and makes for a lot of work for the bees to repair it, but sounds like you're not hurting for much honey just some, so that should work fine. Unless you have wax moth or SHB eggs in the comb, then they will hatch in your jar.

I made it through winter with 2 colonies & had a swarm that landed in my raspberry patch that left enough in the original box they made another Queen & are all thriving. It was really difficult to spin out 8 frames since the weather was so chilly. I used a wire screen colander then 600, 400 & 200 micron filters.

Hey Dave, can you please tell me what you do with the frames that have had the honey already extracted out? I really don’t want to put them back on, because my hives currently have four supers on them, and I want to start getting them down to just a couple of supers, to start getting them ready for the fall feeding and getting them ready for the winter months. Can you store them safely, in a cool spot, and what do you do about keeping them free from getting bugs in them, mites, moths, etc. I have two hives, both of my hives are strong and doing well. This past spring I had a total of six swarms, five of which we were able to capture, and gave to my friend to start new hives. Anyway, how do you store your extracted frames for next year’s use. Thanks for all your KZbin videos, and I appreciate your help and time.

Hi David, I wonder if that is Autumn Olive Nectar honey. Saw some in Southern Illinois and it looked very similar. Seller was offering it as a premium product.

He did an experiment using red wax to see how bees draw out comb on frames. The red just refers to the experimental wax.

What problem would be caused by putting the top cover back on? Is the problem a long term comb buildout issue?
@beek
@beek 3 ай бұрын
The bees would build stray comb running in all directions in the gap. It would be a mess without frames.

@@beek I'm not sure how honey sommeliers view pale honey? It reminds me of some honey I bought off a roadside stall in Alaska last year. It tasted terrible & I wondered if it was legit honey....and how do bees even work in Alaska? lol. I'm 100% sure your honey is 100% A grade though lol.
