I so enjoy your channel for the education and entertainment. Have you considered making a filler piece with radiuses of the spinner and barrel to help minimize the cleanup, maybe of a plastic?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have never considered adding anything to the separator as it works so well. The little mess it makes is not worth the effort to me to come up with a way to contain it. Plus, I'm really lazy at heart. Thanks for watching. God's peace Craig. Mr. Ed

[@mikenelson9026]

If you ran a bit of aluminum foil from the edge of the 50 gallon drum to the edge of the separator then spills would be caught vs running done the drums outside.

Make the check out to "St. Joseph Abbey" but send the letter to: Mr. Ed 75376 River Rd. St. Benedict, La. 70457 If you'd like, I'll even sign the bottle. Also, I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed

I have NO idea if it is even possible, but I would LOVE to see a clip with a camera mounted to the inner drum of the wax spinner. That way it would look like the wax is just crawling to the side and then up the wall.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I agree, that would bee spectacular to see. Unfortunately I have no idea how to set it up. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@s.e.v.2055]

I love watching your videos. Have you ever made a video on the bottling process? Besides being able to purchase your honey from the gift shop do you sell it any other way? I sure would like to get some raw honey because I think it is so much better than getting it from a grocery store.

[@JeffHorchoff]

I made a video on bottling our honey last year, and the link is below. The only other way of buying our Abbee Honey is through the gift shop. However, I do offer my KZbin viewers the option of buying through from me, and if you'd like to buy some of our Abbey Honey, I'd be more than happy to send you some. The cost is $12.00 for a one pound, plastic bottle, and $10.00 for shipping. As soon as I get your check, I will send it out.

Good morning Mr Ed, what a wonderful treat to have two videos this morning. Thank you 😊 we are just sitting down at the breakfast table with a cup of coffee. The sunshine is bursting thru the window, sayin hello. It's a lot of work you do, Mr. Ed. I am grateful to know you. Ya'll have a wonderful weekend yeah hear!!

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you Dr. Bruce and to your wife also for all the support you give by being so faithful to my channel. I can not express enough my sincere gratitude for the amount of time you give by following along with my bee wrangling adventures. It is indeed and honor having you watch and leave all your comments on the videos, thank you for everything. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@KDVoller]

Oh you know I love wax days. I hope a melting day is coming soon. What do you do with the foam?

[@JeffHorchoff]

The foam that I remove, because it is honey, is given to the bees. I could eat it, but it still has a lot of very fine wax particles in it and I'd just as soon not have that sticking to my teeth. Stay tuned for the rendering video, I hope to have it done by next Friday. Thanks for watching. God's peace Karen. Mr. Ed

Goldenrod is blooming here in north west alabama. The rain came just in time. The last few years it has been dry of nectar.

[@erroldavis2983]

Do you have a video of your processing of the wax after extracting the honey and what do you use it for?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I sure do, as a fact, I make a video on it every year so there are many videos you could choose from to watch. The video link below is just one of them, and if you go to the playlist on my channel you will find a lot more. Thanks for watching. God's peace Lee. Mr. Ed kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5uoeqaui9F_ntk

[@99tombstone]

a lot of wax for candle making

[@JeffHorchoff]

Actually not a lot goes towards candle production as we just don't have enough beeswax for that purpose. However, some does as well as balm production, but most is given back to the bees for the next seasons honey crop.Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them.

If I may ask, what is made with the wax? Plus can we buy honey and or other products of yours in the Netherlands? Do you ship out?

[@JeffHorchoff]

The video link below shows what the rendered wax is used for in our honey bee operation here at St. Joseph Abbey. I honestly can't say if the products sold in the Abbey's Gift Shop are sold out of the country, but if you visit the Abbey's web site at stjosephabbey.com and visit they Gift Shop, you may find your answer.

[@TillmanHoneyCompany]

Mr. Ed, how many hives do you manage for honey production?

[@JeffHorchoff]

We have about 180 hives, but all I need for our demand on the honey is 150 hives. So, I will be selling at least 30 of our hives in the next month or so to get back to my number.

[@TillmanHoneyCompany]

@ Oh I try not to miss an episode! Always entertaining and informative, thanks for all you do! Tell Good Time Charlie I said hello. 😁

[@sandrawight704]

Question? Now what do you do with the wax?

[@JeffHorchoff]

Every bit that I can get is used either in our honey operation, waxing plastic foundation for spring time honey, or in the Monk Soap operation, making candles and balms. The demand that is placed on wax just from these two operations here at the abbey uses all we can produce, and I turn down sales of wax all the time. Thanks for watching. God's peace Sandra. Mr. Ed

Does the honey separated from the wax taste the same as the rest?

[@JeffHorchoff]

It sure does, after all it all came from the same source.

[@matthewjohnson6360]

Is the wax turned into candles?

[@JeffHorchoff]

Some of the rendered wax is given to Monk Soap for candles and balms, but the majority is given back to the bees to put on the foundation of the frames for next seasons honey crop. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@Chris-zo5ze]

Could you develop a tool that sits in the bottom of the barrel to help you lift the wax out instead of scooping it? Cut a screen into a round shape just smaller than the barrel. Then fashion long handles that attach to the edge, but stay above the level of the honey. As you lift it, the screen will allow the honey to pass through, but it will catch the wax, and then dump it in your separator... Just a thought...

[@JeffHorchoff]

It is possible to make such a screen for the drums, however, my concern would be the placement of such a tool would obstruct some impurities from rising completely to the surface, and since our honey is unfiltered, I would not want that in the honey. Still, something to consider. Thank you for your suggestion and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@Chris-zo5ze]

@@JeffHorchoff The way I imagine it, you'd have one for each drum and the screen would be in the bottom of the barrel before you start to fill it. The handles would run up the side and almost reach the top of the barrel. If the screen started at the bottom, there would be no issue with obstructing impurities from rising. The only potential issue I can see is the drain valve obstructing raising the screen. I'm not sure how far it goes into the barrel. You'd have to modify the screen to pass the drain valve, but that would be easy enough.

[@apveening]

@@Chris-zo5ze Just have the screen resting a bit above the bottom.

[@Phil_86]

Good morning Mr Ed. I've always loved watching how you process your honey. It's very efficient and clean making a nice honey in the end. God Bless you and all that you do for the Abbey!!

[@JeffHorchoff]

I have to say this Phil, having the right machines to help make the job so much easier certainly is nice, but having great folks like yourself following along just adds sweetness to the mix. Thank you for your blessings and support. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed
