Honls' Honey Extraction

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

This brings back memories , my dad was a bee keeper all the years I was growing up , in the fall we would get all the equipment set up in the basement and start bringing in the supers , decapping the frames then in to the extractor, then strain through cheese cloth to filter out small wax particles then into the bottles of different sizes then labeling the bottles , prior to the fall honey harvest we were out every weekend in the bee yards , we had two locations , checking the hives for wax moth and making sure the bees had enough room in there hives , we also removed swarms of bees when they would settle in someones backyard , I've never seen a commercial operation like this , its amazing , thanks .

It is nice to see a wheelchair user in your operation. I am a wheelchair user also. I will now buy all your honey.GOD bless the owner!!! also. Good luck my brother!!

[@berenjervin]

->I will now buy all your honey Thats about 20 tons of honey a day or about $400,000 a day. Sure you can afford that, and eat that much? But seriously, I picked up on the wheelchair too. +1 for Honls.

This man is especially amazing because every state gives handicapped people a complete whiff, that is, they don't have to work if they don't want to. Imagine a free and easy life, but instead, you decide to be a productive human being, helping your fellow mankind. I cannot find words to express my admiration.

I used to be an employee for a producer in the 1990's. I delivered to bakeries & meat packing co.My best memory was loading and transporting the package bees from Miss. To Mich. to replenish losses from the mites that would kill off large colonies of hives.Enjoyed watching your video , things have really changed.

[@brynnkohler4084]

Thank God for seeing a video about beekeepers who aren't self-proclaimed experts (the hobbyists). There are so many know-it-all hobbyist beekeepers in my region (full of urban, educated yutzes) that when you start talking with them, you can tell it's all about being the glitzsiest "granola Millennial" in the land.

[@ccapiariesllc1297]

There is nothing worse that a person who has been beekeeping for 1-4 years. They think they know everything and when ting go working it is the fault of someone else. I have been beekeeping for 9 years and have made a considerable investment in beekeeping education and I still always learn something new.

[@Reebus_]

Fascinating I never really thought about how honey was extracted in large scales!

[@MCshadr217]

What amazes me is the fact that the honey they have here is basically surplus. The bees do NOT need this much, but store excess anyway.

[@ccapiariesllc1297]

That is correct. Honeybees are hoarders by nature and when the flow is on they will continue to store honey. That is the reason we place honey supers on top of the brood chamber. If we did not add this extra space, the bees would fill up every available cell, and then some, and the hive would become "honey fast". The queen would have no place to lay and the colony could die or possibly swarm.

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).

[@gregheckert1396]

What a process! You can tell it's family owned by seeing the kids running around. Not many companies allow that unless it's one of the owners sons running around.

Beginner question. Is there a part one that shows what happens to the bees when they remove the hives?

[@ccapiariesllc1297]

Hi Linda, There is not a video that shows how the bees are removed form the supers prior to harvesting but I can tell you that this bee company uses fume boards to safely drive the bees out of the supers. They use a chemical call butyric acid which is applied in the fume boards. It is a compound found in animal fat, plant oils, bovine milk, breastmilk, human body odor, vomit, and parmesan cheese. It smells pretty bad the bees will move out of the supers to avoid the fumes. It is harmless when properly used.

The soundtrack had to be omitted at certain intervals due to background noise. In regards to the frames, it does not make any difference which box they go back into and the boxes have proper ownership marking. When they do contract extraction for a 3rd party, the only frames and boxes running through the process are those that belong to the 3rd party so they do not get mixed up with theirs or any other 3rd party equipment.
