Just extracting honey from the last of my supers this year. I've noticed all the frames are full of "heather honey". Is there a simple way of extracting heather honey, as it doesn't come out using extractor? very thick consistency.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

You may need to either scrape it out with a spoon…carefully not damaging the foundation. Or you could buy a hand held heather honey losner Or you’ll need to press it out.

What’s the best time to visit your farm ? Always looking good.

Hi ive just inherited my first hive which had been abandoned. The problem im facing is that my brood are in super frame. Any ideas how i can transfer my brood from the super frames to deeps? I help would be much appreciated.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

I would take any Queen excluder out of the hive and winter them as they are. Feed them if they need it. In spring shake the bees down into the brood box one frame at a time, put a Queen excluder over it then place the super back on top. After 4 weeks all the brood will be gone and it will just be honey.

[@BeekeepingGroup]

Do you not clear the bees first?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Yes with clearer boards. But bring the blower as backup

[@Dave-uw4wb]

Excellent result Gwenyn , is there plenty of time for the bees to get their own winter stocks , or will they rely on your to feed.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Yes, most of the brood boxes are heavy with stores already. And the balsam is still flowing and there’s ivy to come. Won’t need to feed much this year.

[@mac243877]

Just about finished my intro to beekeeping course here in Scottish Borders, so the more I watch and learn the less I seem to know, my question is how do you clear the bees from those honey supers. Great videos please keep em coming

[@gwenyngruffydd]

I’ve got you covered with this video 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnSXaYOpd7GKftk

[@polmacbradaigh9506]

How many hives was on that site

[@gwenyngruffydd]

I can’t remember, I think I say how much was on that site towards the end of the video.

[@davidjohn2517]

My one hive is hopeless, brood box fine, as it’s been all summer, one super, empty.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

There is always next year. It’s been a patchy year

[@davidjohn2517]

@@user-go9hb4td8j It’s been busy all summer & right up to this heavy rain. Plenty in brood box but very little in Super.

[@desertfox8583]

Congrats! 🙂

[@rickwarner516]

A tarp is your friend to cover the supers

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Absolutely, was early in the morning so got away with it. Could never do it like this mid day!

How many hives on that site Gruff

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Off the top of my head 15-18 ish…I do say in the video how many hives are on that site, my brain is to fuzzy at the moment to remember!! Lol

[@katmanclancy]

Well done! But my workers don't get effed on the back of a truck and get lost all over the country...

[@gwenyngruffydd]

There’s no bees in the boxes. I’ve used clearer boards. The bees that are flying around are robbers. Most of them fly off before I leave the first field.
