Great honey harvest! We used to keep bees -- we were in orange blossom country -- a 100+ miles south of here. But I developed a not-deathly allergy to bee stings and my husband passed away in 2004. Also, back in the 1970's through about 1985, we had several really hard freezes which killed a lot of the citrus trees. Without the citrus bloom, there just wasn't enough honey plants around. Added to which, we lived too close to town in a residential area where bees were restricted. So, we had to let the hives go! It's a shame, but I'm 74 years old now, and have had 4 spinal surgeries -- no way I could handle that now. Watching your videos really brings back some wonderful memories!

So i stopped, got out of the car (carefully) and gently lifted the bumblebee off the wiper and put it gently on a flower on the side of the road, where i already saw bumblebees buzzing around.

@@kingcurry5139 I might only be keeping bees for one year, but what you need to understand quickly is: bees dont reuse their wax. they build it once, that's it. so it is an absolutely valid question, why not to make the bees clean out the cappings. to give a useful answer: depending on how you make your bees clean out these cappings, you might train your (actually any) bees to rob other hives; in most cases, this is your own hives, so your stronger hives just start fighting your weaker hives on honey to store for winter. that way you can make sure, that your hives just dwindle in numbers and all in strength.
@andreasb13525 жыл бұрын
getting your bees to clean out the wax (not only cappings, but your comb in general, as it does not get clean from the centrifuge) takes energy from your bees. so just draining it through a sieve yields a lot of honey. what i did (just in need of combs to get my bees fed for the winter) is to wash the combs out with water, leaving the combs intact for the bees to fill them with sugar for the winter. the water i used for washing out the rest of the honey, i mixed with some yeast to produce mead for the holidays. 14 vol.-% just from that :)

Hello, I am a French Canadian and my Grandfather had also Bee Hives but he NEVER used smoke, at least I don't remember. He used a cedar boxes and cedar frames, he'd removed the honey filled frames from their boxes and add them in a cedar box. After a few honey filled frames are put in the cedar box, he'd put a cedar frame then more honey filled frames then a cedar frame and so on. He'd leaved it maybe a few hours or so because insects can't stand the smell of cedar, it stinks to them and they leave by there own accord. I don't know the specifics because I was just a child and I'm in my early 50's but just an idea to make your life easier. Great video, big fan, keep up the good work. Peace in Christ.

Or maybe even leave an x shape of base, I imagine capping full of honey will be heavy, I’ve made screened tubs for my worm farms and found making screened bottoms can be a game changer!

So you were talking about creating a bigger rig for the cappings. Wouldn't cutting off the bottom of one bucket (sanding the sharp edges) and then adding a screen to the bottom and just have a similar system to what u have just on a larger scale work? (Using a smaller bucket for the cappings, as long as the mouth of the capping bucket is the same as the circumference of the drained bucket)

And for the screen using something thats similar to cheesecloth but wont break under the weight of the cappings and raw honey

I sure enjoyed your video and we are ready to extract our first honey this weekend! Wish us luck! (This is our third season raising bees)

What do you call the device where you put the combs in and spin it? Also, where do you find a hand powered one?
@18Bees5 жыл бұрын
I'm too lazy and I hate the mess so I cut the comb straight from the frame, quarter and put right into the jars.

I dont know that much about beekeeping but wouldnt it be a lot easier to use a queen excluder, you wouldnt have to worry about brood in the frames you want to extract

Harvests 188 pounds of honey, after a restock harvest of 30 pounds of honey: "We keep most of it for ourselves". How do you eat that much honey haha. Edit: any suggested recipes?

We use it in our coffee and tea as well as whatever recipe might call for it. Delicious!

The only way I know how to use that much honey is mead making. Perhaps they don't use any other kind of sugar in their cooking and baking.

I see people sometimes mix water with sugar and give that to the bees for the winter but what if you gave water mixed with honey? Wouldn't that also be a idea?

Great harvest. You're about due for an electric extractor .

Great video. How long (months, etc.) does it take the bees to make this much honey? Great channel.

i think he should create something to sell honey online. i'd definitely be interested in buying some... hopefully he sees this and consider it...
