Wow

[@williamkn621]

We received the honey, looks great. We plan to make some fresh biscuits homemade to enjoy this honey

@@williamkn621 How'd it go?

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

You asked for any helpful advice. One thing I noticed is how you blew out the frames. We built a stand with a slide. The box sits right side up at a slight angle. The bees come out of the bottom, and gently land in front of their entrance, and the march begins. It's alot more gentle on the bees, and less confusing to the bees with sticky wings and feet that can't fly so well. Hope it helps. The slide is made from stainless, and there's a mount for a backpack type blower. We hook a vacuum line (like you find at the car wash) to the blower for more dexterity at the wrist.

[@chrissweeton8362]

Love your show. My daughter that I lost in December watched your channel regularly. Great memories with her watching you. God Bless

[@JoseLopez-hw9gx]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@sanjurayamajhi4362]

So sorry to hear sir. She is with god and happy looking down on you.

Being a father of two sons I get a kick out of seeing the hive with your son’s frames. We have a desk in our home that I can’t part with because my oldest carved his name in the wood when he was about 5 years old.

[@jeremiah1528]

That writing was so adorable....lol ❤.... God bless you Dan.... in Jesus precious name ❤....

[@colleenmcbride3656]

That's sweet! Maybe you could cut that part out and have it be a decorative piece on your next desk.

[@Sheena7625]

@@colleenmcbride3656 Beautiful idea! My mom and her brothers are in the process of selling my nanny’s home and my mom said before it goes she has to replace door frames because she’s keeping the ones she marked my kids height on as they grew up. 🥰

[@karlreed541]

I'm a great grandfather now, and my own grandfather was a beekeeper although I am not, but always interested. I loved your comments on how a bee colony so expresses the work of our loving Creator.

[@jacknevitt7384]

Beekeeping is fascinating! I’m still astounded that you can use your bare hands to work with the hives and not get stung multiple times. I love your videos; keep up the great work!

[@timothydavis4727]

I'm a beginner at bee keeping. Got my first hive this year

[@canesantrac4509]

i've got 6 hives for now, first year too!

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

Need two more. Lol. I'm a commercial keeper with backyard boxes i just bought. 10 hives total. Only the most gentle genetics are coming home. 2500 colonies to choose from, and a really cool boss. So there it is. Welcome aboard!

[@waynebauer2534]

My dad used to have hives back in the 1950's and 1960's. I loved watching him collect honey. I've watched your videos for about a year.

[@MrDrogers6509]

I enjoyed your postings, my wife and i live in Costa Rica and are moving back to Texas next week. we have purchased five acres and watching you tend to your bees has motivated me and I intend on starting my own bee hives. I'm retired and looking forward to this new adventure. David Bure, Costa Rica

[@CaseyBbees]

My first year bee keeping this year I have watched your videos over and over to educate myself as best I can and can’t thank you enough for the knowledge.

[@jonw.3299]

I ordered a sawmill earlier this year and see honey bees in my future plans now. This channel has been much of an influence to have a more rural lifestyle.

[@kairilyn]

And he’s bare-handing the whole thing, I’m obsessed with these videos 😂

[@angiegargano7624]

My favorite box is the one you son wrote on...so precious along with great memories for you and your wife. As always, thank you for taking the time to share all your videos. God bless!

[@jacquelineramsay2194]

I just love watching you work your hives. I love your chill, relaxed commentary! Not pretentiousness bone in your body! My first year with bees. Thank you so very much from Ontario, Canada!

[@jeffwhitson3166]

I really liked this video. Your shared experience is greatly appreciated. The video of your son marking the frames was great and now you'll have that memory for as long as you have those frames. Thanks for all the videos.

[@B-in-Norva]

Your parents sure raised you right - humble, curious and generous! Sure hope it's just impatience with the low yield. Lord knows patience is needed in beekeeping, watermelon harvesting, and raising children!! Many thanks for the highly informative and interesting videos!! God Bless!

[@pald3944]

I just found your channel. And now I am in love the whole Bee Keeping process.

[@billcouts5142]

So many memories watching you harvest honey. Spent many hours with my grandad out in the fields!

[@oliverscratch]

I love your enthusiastic approach to everything you do - and I wish I had your energy!

[@BongflongBua]

So many of your videos have really helped me research how to get into bee keeping. Very appreciative for your content.

[@12ArmyNavy12]

Thanks for your video and to learn how you do your harvesting. You asked for suggestions so here goes. 1. If you place a board across your plastic tote that catches your cappings it will give you something to rest your frames on at a more comfortable position. Also if you put a screws or nail in it from the bottom and allow a portion of it to protrude through the wood it will allow your frames to be held in a single position that keeps them from sliding off. 2. Have you tried using a bee escape or fume boards? 3. Have you thought about using two smaller tubs and do two processes at the same time? If you take a plastic tub, got mine from Sam's Club, and cut out the bottom of one of them, leaving a portion of the bottom to catch a piece of thin aluminum angle that has some screen wire attached to it. This allows the cappings to fall on the screen and be dripping while you are working on the next frames. The second tub which is the same size is below it and has a frame made to keep the upper tub from laying on the bottom of the lower tub. 4. Kamon Reynolds recently posted a plastic box he uses to harvest his frames with that has 10 locations to place the frames in with some space below to allow any comb that is hanging below the frame to not be smashed against the bottom. It was also wide enough that there was plenty of room for the odd thickness fat frames. It also had a vented lid that allows hot air to escape and to keep the bees from robbing. the tub was very pricey so I am thinking about finding a tub that will allow frames to rest on the sides and hold at least 10 frames. I am sure I can find one that will work that can have a piece of aluminum angle or wood attached to the side of the tub that the frames can rest on that would be made for less than 87 dollars plus shipping. Hope I didn't step on your toes. Good luck.

[@sillyputty1949]

Have been watching your sawmill videos for awhile now and started following your honey vids since you took the swarm out of the tree in the spring. Ive learned a lot about bee keeping. Keep up the great work with the wood and the bees. God bless.

[@stevenkofoed1698]

This is a great adventure in beekeeping! I love to see you reap the harvest. Yes your son did a great job helping marking the frames.

[@PorkchopXXL]

I've learned a lot from your beekeeping videos in the last two years. Keep up the good work!

[@upstatehomestead6162]

Thanks for the videos I’ve been bee keeping for two years and still learning I enjoy watching your videos because I always seem to learn something new

[@mthumpherys]

I'm in my first year of beekeeping and your videos are a really helpful resource!

[@jimmymarotz5433]

I love the variety of content you produce. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos.

[@mads3677]

It’s so cool watching your older harvest, then this video, and seeing how you did the quality of life things you said you’d do, like the bucked with a hole for en masse cap draining!

[@gillianbritton833]

I remember seeing your son help you with the boxes. He sure did an excellent job. It will be lovely to see his handy work every time you look in that box

Love your honey episodes, my Dad cared for bees when I was a kid and we loved it. Fresh honey on hot buttered biscuits! Oh my!

[@davidclauson5256]

Wish I had time to take up beekeeping. Full time job, sawmill/woodworking and metal detecting leaves no time for anything else. Thanks for all you do.

[@tomperny8664]

I enjoy all of your content whether you are cutting logs or tending your hives! Learned it is a lot of science involved....watching you extract honey makes me want to make a batch of biscuits and dig into the honey jar!!!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I said it before and again now, you are a born teacher. I've watched a few other honey bee video's but they don't compare to yours. It's not just your words but also the video. My earliest memory of honey is being a small child with a sore throat. My mom mixed honey and warm water to sooth my throat. I actually have memory of being well again but telling my mom I should have more honey and warm water just to be sure.

[@Shadowblargg]

Love these videos! Thanks for continuing to share your experience!

[@sophiemcduffey5700]

It's the BEST!!

I really appreciate your honesty in these videos; a lot of beekeeper content comes off as polished perfection which isn't really useful or approachable.

We really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the learning experience on bee keeping.

Watching the honey extraction, especially that light honey, and that nice light wax. Brings me back to time spent at my uncle's place. He always kept a container on the table with fresh honey from his back yard hives in the foothills north of Los Angeles. Excellent sage and wild flowers in the area.
