How To Store Honey Supers Part 1

Do you wonder how to store extracted honey supers? Many beekeepers make mistakes storing their honey supers only to find them destroyed by small hive beetles are wax moths.
Beekeeping can be a challenge. Are you just starting out? If you are new to beekeeping or you keep failing, I strongly recommend you take my Ultimate ONLINE Beekeeping Course.

This was an extremely helpful video. Dave is such a resource of fun information for us novice beekeepers. Reliable, entertaining, and efficient!! Thank you!

[@beek]

That's very kind of you to say.

[@MrCaboose83]

The honey filling the bucket at the end was amazing! Great information throughout :-)

[@EVogel007]

In a communal feeder like you’re demonstrating, you must certainly pick up wasps and hornets. Do they become problematic?

[@grounded7362]

Interesting! All I have ever done is let the bees clean them up and then store them in supers in the bee yard and have never had wax moth get in the honey frames. I have had wax moth in brood frames with a little bee bread or maybe a little larva or dead bees from an overwinter dead out. But they have never destroyed my foundation ever. Just went in and cleaned up the left over bee bread, brood and larva. I just brush off the cocoons and webbing and put them in a hive in need of foundation and in a day they have them all cleaned up and in use.

[@ronaldcutshall2981]

I store my frames with a bug zapper close by. I haven’t had any moth problems for 5 years now.

[@bjoartec]

Another nice video with very nice music at the end, Thank you Sir David !....

[@mileawayhoney2802]

When the bees are done cleaning the super's what do you do with the empty box's? If the moth went after the old frames in the basement what about the box's?

[@poseidonam]

I stored a super in my porch, I pulled off because I was treating mites, that's what I had in my porch! They moved every bit of honey from them!

[@1wildwackywoman]

Great idea! I’m going to try this, this year.

[@shaunbarker9201]

Love the video David,glad to see finally a video after it seems a long time. On the feeding station not being close to your home,well for us it's the only way we can work it. The hives are 10-20 feet from the property. A small garden with hives in all doing great and hopefully no losses in overwintering for the 2019 upcoming season.

[@stevenmartin3839]

dave can I use a honeycomb hive to make honeycomb squares IF FOUNDATION HAS WIRES THEM I NEED LEARN HOW to MAKE HONEYCOMB PRODUCT. THANK SHOW US SAFE WAY CLEAN STUFF BY BEES

[@rcfun42]

So much great information and tips for the new beekeeper such as myself. Thanks

[@beek]

Thanks

[@3Beehivesto300]

Well??? He really didn’t say how to store the supers after extracting long term????

[@beek]

Thanks! I made PART 2 that shows how I store the supers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIrEnZmVaLuMq68

[@josephvogel7234]

I like the content of you video. You have lots of experience and I respect that. You covered preparation for storage. Where is the storage information.

[@glorianelson6468]

Awesome video. Lots of good ideas for me. I will do that after I extract my honey. Thanks much for this one

[@beek]

Thank you and thank you for being a subscriber

[@1wildwackywoman]

If you mentioned it, I missed it. What would you recommend is the minimum distance away from the hives should this ‘ feeding station’ be?

[@Jasonjjohnson91]

I just love your videos I love bees I would love to start a hive the cost scares me in getting started thank so much for such great videos .

[@henryparrott2447]

👍

[@sameoldmphymel]

Nice video just curious what do you do to eliminate foam when you get to the end of a bucket as you're bottling

[@beek]

Thank you. I allow the honey to sit in the bucket for about 3 or 4 days. Most of the foam (air bubbles) rise to the top and the gate is at the bottom so very little if any foam enters the bottles. Once the content is mostly emptied from the bucket, the last few bottles will have more foam and I keep that for me ;)

[@AlleyCat-1]

You only freeze them for a couple day's? What do you do with the frames after thar during the winter?

[@paulahello7435]

Great information.

[@beek]

Thanks

[@biegelfamilymusic5337]

Thanks for the info and we enjoy the classical music :) Just wondering, why must the wet frames be far from the hives?

[@beek]

If they are too close, the bees might rob out your hives.

[@1wildwackywoman]

On your tripod LOL. During the extraction process, Honey gets everywhere!

[@HeideD100]

Hello David, New follower. Learning so much from you videos. Question for you, Why and when would you feed your bees sugar water and Pollen? Thanks for all the great info!

[@beek]

Any time there is a dearth. Especially fall, winter and early spring

[@j.clarkhelton7883]

Love the hive feeding station . I can't help but wonder , could this possibly train bees to be robbers ?

[@beek]

Believe me, bees need no training 😩

[@HornadySetiawan]

Great video, so satisfying, very informative, and comedic too :) Thanks!

[@beek]

Thanks, fun stuff!

[@577bluegrass]

Great vedio !

[@dannyblake6053]

How far away? 50 yards, 100 yards?

[@NielsenValleyFarms]

Hey i love your videos. Very informative. I do have a question though. What do I do with supers that are ready to harvest but I don't want to harvest them yet because I have to rent the extractor. So I want to wait til the bees are done bringing in excess nectar.? Can I pull them and store them somehow to keep the bugs off? Or should I leave them on the hive and keep adding empty supers as needed?

[@beek]

Do not take them off until you have the extractor ready to roll

[@hdstarr1]

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@woodchucktinman9893]

Great information here. Thank you.

[@davidstephens4763]

You just have to slow motion on honey, your just a teas🤤👍

[@davidshubin5324]

Hi, and thanks for your videos. I just wanted to know if that’s where/how you store your supers until spring?

[@beek]

Thank you! Watch my second (Part 2) video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIrEnZmVaLuMq68

[@peterlightbody8443]

Hi David enjoy your videos , I learn something ever time I watch , question does freezing honey have any effect on it at all as far as quality. Thanks Peter Australia.

[@beek]

Thanks Peter in Australia. I've never noticed any difference in the quality of honey if it freezes. Sometimes, this happens naturally here in the north with a super on top when bees are clustered low.

[@nataliaroberts8443]

Will the bees learn to rob neighboring beehives with this setup ?

[@naixus]

Came to see how you STORE the supers, but all I saw was how your cleaned them...

[@beek]

Thanks! I made PART 2 that shows how I store the supers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIrEnZmVaLuMq68

[@mrcshoneybees]

Will your feeding station promote robbing when all your food is gone. I really like your Idea. How far from my hive should this be? Thanks

[@beek]

I did not. But far away as your can, at least 30 yards to be safe

[@anniejefferson4642]

Let them clean it up and feed them.

[@mirinewcome3000]

Good grief - this summer I had a bag of dry burr comb etc I use for demonstrations and classes. The other day I opened it up to show someone a piece - FUll OF WAX MOTH 😜😣

[@bigjoe5614]

Nice video but where is the information on how to store honey supers?

[@beek]

Hi Big Joe, Thanks! I made PART 2 that shows how I store the supers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIrEnZmVaLuMq68

[@josephvogel7234]

At about 8:03 it seems like you are saying that you are taking the supers you just harvested honey from (wet frames) and simply storing them in a 70 degree room in house like conditions...Then you go on to explain how to set up a robbing station. What?

[@beek]

Hey Joseph, not a robbing statin but a feeding station. Sometimes I place wet supers for the bees to clean up outside, but sometimes after they have cleaned them up I place them in a cool room. And even if I place wet supers out for the bees to clean up, it is not enough to equal a community feeder as I set up. Also, some states make it illegal to place wet supers out for the bees to clean up, not sure if this is small hive beetle control or what.

[@jimmyc451]

Uncapping music so dramatic
