homemade Honey extractor

[@elainecoelho6907]

This is the better homemade honey extractor that i viewed. Very easy construct and cheap.

[@tenshib5951]

This is very cool! Like someone else posted, when it comes time to extract honey: you need to place the frames in there to where their top bars are pointing toward the outside of the can and not the center. This is because the way the bees build their comb, it IS slightly angled downward (you'll notice this when you get going with your bees) so that honey and larva can't just fall out.. Another thing that you may learn the hard way is that you won't ever need to spin the frames as fast as you had them going. Doing this will fling the wax comb (honey and all) completely off of the plastic foundation and it'll stick to the side wall of your extractor. So, rotate your frames so the top bars are the other way and start with a slow spin, and I think you'll have a great time! Thumbs up from me. [=

A brilliant idea using bicycle wheels to make a radial honey extractor. Well done and thanks for sharing.

[@slimanemokrani3698]

Very good idea the bicycle frames is a simple idea and works well one of the best I have watched Many thanks

[@patq33333]

I just dropped the frames in to demonstrate the spin..They go in with the top to the outside just as you said .I have used this several times and it works great ..thanks for your comment

[@donnabrown3378]

I like your device. I made a similar one which shows up next to yours on KZbin. (Sporadic cleaner) I like yours better and plan to "reinvent my wheel"! After reading comments to you, I remember why I disabled comments to mine. People are so mean. Kudos to you for your thinking and keep up the good work!

That was such a Smart idea that when I started watching, the smile covered my face on it's own. Awesome.

[@otter9099]

Nice idea. Your frames should be turned so the top bar is to the outside though.

[@PhillipHall01]

I love it. I do have a question. Couldn't you have just as easily made this an eight frame rig if you would have chose to do so? Thanks Phillip Hall

[@christiangab1227]

Thank you for sharing simple and efficient honey extractor you are truly awesome and wonderful ^^

[@br5747]

Nice but I'm wondering what you used to power it. I don't think I saw it in the video. Thanks

[@JLH0714]

how do you get the honey out? I feel like there would be a lot of grooves and creases in the metal of a trash can that would trap honey and be wasted. Something that big maybe a food grade plastic barrel with a valve inserted into the bottom.

[@beesonnature871]

It's a nice idea, but when you're done, how do you get the tire out?

[@ohfullers]

Well made. We hope to get into beekeeping this Spring

[@kauriwilson7426]

The spring months- October to December you'd want to check your colony for any conspicuous signs of AFB (common occurrence) in your brood boxes and if so, burn your brood immediately unless you have a DECA (Disease Elimination Conformity Authority) Cert that gives you special conditions, it is by law beekeepers finding AFB burn their hives and sterilise your used tools and PPE that have the contaminant by using hydrochloric acid (Janola bleach). There are other ways to sterilise your tools which is scorching them in your smoker using a gas flame. During this spring period, if your hive had no signs of AFB, Varroa (or mix of two) and other viruses. You strip down your hive and clear off any propolis, burrcomb, debris and look for any signs of swarming. If you see swarm cells get rid of them and reverse your boxes starting from top brood box to the bottom and bottom brood box to the top where you give the bees the idea they've already swarm. This is known as artificial swarming. You can also look into the bottom brood box to see if that's fulled and if your top brood box is struggling to be filled you can always pull frames from the bottom brood box out and into the top brood box as long as they're frames from the top box to go into the bottom. You can always use another trick which is baiting your swarm if it's too late to prevent them from swarming. You can use lemongrass oil to lure the swarm into a nuc or full depth box! Look up on KZbin for more insight. In the spring period you'd also want to add your honey super on before the main honey flow (nectar flow) begins. A trick that bee hobbyists and keepers use that helps them to know when to add honey supers on their hive is to see fresh white burrcomb on the topbars of their frames also known as 'white waxing' bees make before they draw out their comb and need more room to festooned. Even if you grab your frames and shake them and see pollen. You'd know pollen was collected that day! Additional supers can be added once it's necessary otherwise supering up too early can cause disharmony and overwhelming stress for bees whom need to build their comb, wax and forage in a box that has all the beespace to give them. After your inspection, swarming prevention, supering and feeding if necessary. You won't need to disturb the hive for another three weeks. Good luck! From an aspiring beekeeper 🐝

[@anamariaandradedecarvalho2913]

Excelente ideia com radial de bicicleta, bom mesmo.

[@patq33333]

the frames should be placed with the top of the frame towards the outside ..a honey gate drain has been placed at the bottom of the can to drain the honey ..start by spinning slow and increase speed as they drain..best done on a good hot day when the honey will flow better.. In this video i was spinning the frames fast to show the spin ...do not spin that fast or the comb may spin out of the frame ..I spun 4 frames and got about 18 lbs of honey (about a gallon and a half )..To clean up I just fill the barrel with water and put the spin basket in and spin for a while with the drill and drain and let dry

[@maryawtrey4499]

Isn't oil coated over that can? That's my concern, everytime I've bought one.🤔

[@showman139]

Have you any thoughts on harvesting honey from top bar hives? It requires that the entire comb be destroyed but there are too many methods to know which work best. It would be exceptional if you could improve on those methods. As you did here.

[@patq33333]

the wood is maple and there is no grease.the honey is great .I guess you cant PLEZX everybody

[@michaelnkanda3561]

great job. however what is your source of energy that spins the garget. two, bearings normally have some sort of lubricant. are your bearings without any lubricant?

they are sealed bearings .spin with a battery powered drill

Won’t the galvanizing get into the honey?

Also wouldn’t you put the tops of the frames to the outside, since bees put an angle to the comb?

[@rauldiez8546]

Excelente aparato, felicitaciones!

[@Nick-jt5hs]

This is awesome ! How did you build the bottom bearing assembly - a sealed bearing press fit into some PVC assembly? And how did you fix the rims to the rod so they dont spin on the rod?

[@canadianlifelightministries]

a little concerned about the toxicity of the galvanized pail. aluminum, stainless steel, or food-grade plastic would be best and in some places might be the only legal options

[@canadianlifelightministries]

also, if you're looking to sell your honey, you might not be able to use bicycle rims, either. great idea for home use only, but be careful once you start adding a price tag to your honey.

[@51jim]

Have you ever sucked on zinc tablets for a cold remedy? What toxicity are you talking about?

[@jonathanfreeman338]

since bees bulid the cell at an upward angle shouldn't the frames of honey be pointed the other way or does it do good this way

[@DIZNEYGEEK]

Yes, that is correct

[@patq33333]

As I said a few times already .I just dropped the frames in to show the spin.When I spin out honey the frames are in with the top facing the outside of the can \

[@ypedraza87]

Hello Sir, First, I'd like to say that this is very smart and ingenious idea. It's amazing. But I do have a few questions, I believe you answered them, but I'd like to ask you more in depth about it. How were you able to remove all the grease from the bearings, the spokes, and the wheels? I ask, because I am an avid cyclist myself and i do know that no matter what wheels, bearings, or spokes ( any moving part of machines) of bike will come with either lube on it or grease. How did you successfully removed it to be able to use it in your extractor without contaminating your Honey? My apologies if I have made you repeat yourself. I am not doubting you in anyway, I am only trying to expand my knowledge on DIY projects as I am a New-Bee as a Beekerper. Thank you for taking your time in reading my comment.

[@quigleydownunderquigley9237]

the wheels are aluminum and I removed the wheel bearings and pressure washed the wheels and removed all but the necessary spokes. the threaded rod goes through the hole where the bearings used to be and a washer and bolt on each side to hold them. the bearing that the threaded rod goes into on the bottom and the top are sealed bearings .Good luck with the bees

Turn the frames so the top bar is toward the outside of the drum and the natural angle of the cells will empty better. The bees have the cells angled up when in the hive to keep the honey from draining out.

[@quigleydownunderquigley9237]
