How much honey did you get from how many trays?

[@sydneykate]

Doug! I just found your channel and I love it! I love how thorough you are and all the real-time examples you use. I do not have bees, as I do not yet have a home. But one of the very first things I want to do is keep a few hives. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.

[@joshthegamer1736]

I love the camera close

Hi, i'm from Dominican republic,and i would like to know if This month( december)is good for the harvest

[@toasterstruddles4909]

You know you’ve watched to many videos about honeycomb when it’s being recommended to you on the daily....I’m not complaining tho

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

That's too funny! Thanks for watching!

[@TheRealSwampOperator2]

Its mezmirizing

[@amymartin7508]

thanks for the warning. lol. hubbie found a forgotten nest and brought home combs, but idk what to do so im looking. he was already in that mindset, cant stop him now. friend clearing g the nest for a couple said, yes will provide. so, now we are looking at all that is needed. meanwhile I have honey combs. thats why I'm here.

[@mandyp2320]

Sounds like you should start bee husbandry.

[@susanyoung6016]

I'm doing my first harvest today (here in Umbria, Italy) and have been reading and watching videos in preparation - yours has been the most helpful, thank you. Nice, clear close-up shots and yours is the first explanation I have seen of the best way to use the capping scratcher. Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video to help new beekeepers.

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Susan thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad this video helped you. I enjoy beekeeping and hope to share my knowledge. Good luck on your harvest!

[@jeffrichied4521]

I’m going to be in Umbria in April! If u are selling your honey, I’d love to know details. Thx!

[@Aleiyui]

At 4:12, I nearly toppled over because I was wearing headphones and that bee buzzing scared the crap out of me 😂😂

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

That's too funny! I remember the first time I opened a beehive and heard that buzzing. My heart was pounding and my brain was saying run away, and I had a bee suit on!

[@Aleiyui]

@@DougtheBeeGuy That's amazing, I would've dropped everything and run. By the way, keep up the good work😀

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much Snow!

[@aster_l]

Saaaaaame

[@jaynedavis3388]

This video is as important now (6yrs later) as it was the day it was posted. Good *free* tutorials are always needed

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. That was believe it or not my very first video on KZbin.

[@eastherkyaw]

Idk why, u just seem like a cute humble man 😀

[@thedecentdoodler5757]

cHOICE that will promote A.C.E. iKONIC EGGSTERING true

[@AlexIsModded]

I'm not a beekeeper and have zero desire to become a beekeeper, but I love watching videos like this. It's honestly relaxing for me to watch someone harvest honey. There's no technology involved here, it's good old fashioned farm work. I'm a lefty too, by the way.

[@gyrtiasnecrotaros4710]

Now i see why my uncle likes beekeeping so much The honey extractor spinny thingy looks like fun

[@faizalmohdzaki70]

My 9-year old son likes your wonderful video very much.

[@TassieEats]

This was so relaxing and thorough in explaining the process. I don't even have an interest to harvest my own honey but love watching people extract them for some reason?! 😅😅😅

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much for the compliments. I'm so glad you found it interesting.

[@madscientistshusta]

Same lol

[@katalantra]

@@DougtheBeeGuy you now got me interested in getting a hive for myself and harvest the honey for myself and also make presents to others :D thank you!

[@karmahleone1196]

That uncapping is so satisfying!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PinkSalsaa]

Bee harvesting is the only thing that makes me satisfied.

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@user-px4iu1gx8c]

Hello Lissy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@aster_l]

I'm only 13 now but I want to have honeybees when I buy a house. Lavender honey is the best in my opinion, and I've been learning a lot about bees. Like how you can't take honey from bumblebees because they only make enough to last them through the winter.

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Lexana thanks so much for commenting on my video. I'm so glad you would like to become a beekeeper. We can always use more of those. Keep learning about the world and the bees.

[@fatguyatgoldencorral]

I like how your channel is called “Doug the bee guy” XD

[@shanemyoutubeshit]

This is very satisfying, you should have more subscribers!

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much for the compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@intheshell35ify]

The sights and sounds took me back to my uncle's sticky honey house. I hadn't thought about that smell in years. Well done sir.

[@eddvcr598]

Thank you for the wonderful video. I love watching honey extraction process, there’s something so relaxing about it... especially when it’s done so well and gently like how you do it! Great explanation of what’s going on too. I love learning new things.

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Edd thanks so much for the compliment and watching the video. I too love to learn new things. Thanks for watching!

[@user-td2wi4vw6r]

Allah (God) says in the Noble Quran about bees theses Quranic verses: ( And your Lord inspired the bees, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect, Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think)

[@equalizertime188]

NICE VERSE , BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND ONE WAY TO THE FATHER AND THAT'S THROUGH🙏JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR🙏 I UNDERSTAND YOU FOLLOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE BUT IT HAS BEEN FULFILLED AND THE MESSIAH HAS COME AS PROPHESIED IN YOUR QURAN AND THE BIBLE , MOHAMMED CLEARLY TOOK SOME THINGS FROM THE BIBLE AND MADE HIS OWN BOOK ,BY YOUR OWN FOLLOWERS JESUS APPEARED TO THEM AND HAS SHOWED MOHAMMED IN HELL THIS FOR A REASON SO YOU MAY MAKE IT TO ETERNAL LIFE. THERE ARE NO VIRGINS WAITING FOR YOU ! JESUS IS LORD! 😇🙌🙌🙌

[@siillysoup]

I'm waiting for the day I get my own property and house and am able to get bees. Love your videos. Extremely satisfying watching you do this.

[@eldrugoalex]

I don't know why I enjoy this. I may be getting old :(

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Nah it's just very cool to watch how things are done!

[@JurrassicAss]

I'll add this to the list of things I wanna try but probably won't ever do lol.

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Clearly you should definitely give it a try. Thanks so much for watching!

[@creationoflove84]

My girls and I are studying honeybees this week and this was such an enjoyable video. We absolutely loved it!

[@naza6673]

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thank you very much for the great compliment.

[@sebastienlemay6120]

Thanks, very good video. I eat lots of honey and now will know how it is extracted. Wild flowers and buckwheat honeys are my favorites!

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much Sebastien! I'm glad you learned about honey processing.

[@ellaskins]

Hello Susan, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@jeniko2841]

Doug, I would love to volunteer my time to help you with your harvest and jaring. I just love watching these videos and you skill is amazing!

[@sandangels73]

I'm watching this at 2:30 am and starting to get tired. When he started spinning the frames, the music started, which in my sleepy mind reminded me of a jack in the box. My next thought was, "I hope nothing jumps out of there." 😂

[@goosethegeese]

I know I’m a year late, but this video just came up in my recommendation. Even if I don’t have bees, I’d love to collect honey and watching people do it is amazing! Thanks for the video!

[@Fartintoiletstall]

I like being on the positive side of youtube :)

[@dominickdeflorio193]

Excellent step-by-step instructions. Thank you!

[@oliviamichalek1796]

Thank you for blessing us with this video! Very informative! 😁

Thanks so much Olivia. I'm so greatful that you enjoyed learning about honey.

[@brendanw3534]

Thank you for sharing this video my kids were interested in learning how the honey they just put on their waffles made it to the bottle. They enjoyed the video thoroughly!

[@nalara6937]

This is the same reason we watched this video. My kiddos asked how they get honey.

[@foxhollerhomestead]

I will be starting my first hive this year and your video was so informational and very relaxing!! Thank you!!

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much for the great compliment. I hope you have great success with your new endeavor.

[@Lost_Remote]

I have become addicted to bee keeping videos the last couple weeks. If you told me as a teenager that at 39 you will spend hours of your week watching other people do a hobby you do not do, im pretty sure my head would have exploded from disappointment

[@tannerebeling1056]

Thanks Doug - really appreciate you taking us along and sharing some expertise!

[@larryozdyck5867]

Hey Doug. Former NW Hoosier here. We were in LaPorte and now Florida. We're planning on moving back north soon. And planning on 10-20 acres with animals and BEES and need to learn how. Great Video.

[@elissa3188]

Thank you for this content. My 3 yr old and I appreciated the lesson. I had never seen that before.

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@airigone1257]

Uncapping is oddly satisfying

[@Nexus-ub4hs]

What a beautiful job you made of that. Thank you for sharing!

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much Nexus!

[@venomshouse8570]

Watching you scratch the caps was so satisfying for some reason lol. Ide love to have this job. Great work 👍

[@scrivyscriv]

"The smell is amazing" Yes!! I have yet to make my first harvest, but when I was checking my hive recently, the aroma was absolutely intoxicating even from several feet away! There is nothing like the smell of fresh honey in the air!

[@evangelzhang3438]

Hi,thanks for your video, it is good, we are manufacturer of bee equipment and bee products from China for 15 years

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

The crap I ended up with I have to work on constantly, no time for Chinese junk, like crap that came. Out of Japan I the 70’s and 80’s

[@christinagray3735]

Thanx Doug for the video. My OCD would compel me to use the honey scratcher!!! LOL

[@user-px4iu1gx8c]

Hello Christina, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@davidsurtees4439]

Combine this with making beer and wine will be a brilliant all round hobby lol

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you learned how honey is harvested.

[@snowarist]

Straight forward explanation, simple and concise. Thank you too for showing us how to use the scratcher.

[@Rockardo_]

[@DunkeysLongLostSon]

Lovely video, Doug! I find your beekeeping videos really relaxing

[@laurabartley3903]

Thank you for such a detailed delightful explanation of “from the field to the jar” extraction.. I feel far more ready as a “first timer” after watching you!

[@user-px4iu1gx8c]

Hello Laura, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@stop-zs7gq]

I have used honey for more than 30 years but I really never watch the video on how they take the honey out of the honeycomb and this is amazing what's more amazing fact I made this little creatures which best thing but reproduce the best honey ever thank you God and thank you farmer awesome

[@Lost_Remote]

So satisfying and relaxing watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them

[@DrGrabAss.]

Ah, this was crazy satisfying to watch. I am hoping to start my own hive in the next year or two. This was a great demonstration of how to actually do it. Thanks for making it!

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed watching the process. Hope you get some bees soon, because we need more beekeepers and they are amazing creatures.

[@omaribrahim8031]

how regularly do you harvest the honey?

[@shanefowkes7451]

Just like to say thank you, for such a thoughtful and very educational video I hope to bring a bee hive to my new home when I move as I'll always have "bee friendly" flowers all year round, if they produce honey its practily useless to me but there wax would be a delight

[@user-px4iu1gx8c]

Hello Shane, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@rylinlarue761]

This video is absolutely the "bee's knee's"

[@mustanglover06]

Nice video! I would never be able to do that. I got stung by a black wasp on the ear when I was younger and have been terrified of anything that buzzes since lol. Cool to see another hoosier👍🏼

[@Kznnick]

Love this. Thank you Doug

do the bees get upset when you shake them off? we don’t have full bee suits and are wondering if we’d get stung after shaking them off like you do

[@supersonicdiesel4836]

Good to know that the process causes no harm to bees or grubs

[@vicmd2868]

Thanks for explaining the decapping comb. I would've messed up with it!

[@DougtheBeeGuy]

Wow, thank you!

[@hunterparsons5248]

Just would like to suggest to you to put a screw in your peice of wood that you rest your frames on when decapping. The point to the screw will keep your frames from sliding around. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
