EVERYTHING you need to HARVEST, EXTRACT, and BOTTLE your own HONEY!!

OK beekeepers, many of you get bees for the honey and your first year there is a lot to learn. Most folks don't harvest honey their first year, sometimes not even until their 2nd or 3rd year as a beekeeper. Over the years I have acquired everything I need to harvest my honey, extract my honey, and bottle my honey, all on my property where my bees live! This is a great video to learn about honey harvest techniques, wax uncapping boxes, honey gates, honey buckets, and so much more!

I watching you from Ukraine, I also keep 4 hives and thinking about increase +2 or 3. Its great seeing how lives beekeepers in other country, especially in US because in my country beekeeping isn't very revenue. Thanks for video and wish peaces to all of us.

Where do you get that box?

Do you leave your harvest equipment outside to let the bees clean it for you? Other the wax harvest.

I rinse it and scrub it several times then yes I live it out for them for a day. Then I fill with soapy water and wash again.

Do you just use the double strainer to filter your honey? I’m not wanting to over filter my honey but at the same time I want to catch all my dead bees before bottling. Sorry I’m a new bee keeper

I just strain once when I transfer my honey from the extractor to my 5 gallon bucket.
