Separating over 350 pounds of honey from wax cappings using a honey wax seperator.

www.studiobeeproductions.com
I have finally gotten the job of harvesting our honey completely finished. As you have seen through the postings I have made over the last several weeks, there is a lot more to harvesting honey than simply spinning honey from frames.
On this adventure I do the final step, separating the wax from the honey that was stored in our drums. To assist in this matter, I employ my honey/wax separator....along with my drum lift, and at the end of the day, I wound up with over 30 gallons of honey and a large garbage can full of dry cappings.
Of course, with the cappings and honey separated, there still is the process of bottling the honey as well as rendering the cappings for our next season, but that's 2 more videos yet to bee made. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed

It's not even a minute in but the energy of this man has already made me grin like a FOOL. 🥺💙

[@JeffHorchoff]

Part of my purpose of making videos is to spread a bit of joy in the world, I'm delighted to hear you picked up on that. However, the main reason I post videos is to show just how important bees are to our very survival, and why we should not just kill them out of ignorance. I have been rescuing bees from being needlessly destroyed for over 9 years now, and hope to continue to do so for many more years to come. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my bee wrangling/ bee rescues adventures and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed

My father had a manual one when I was child for his two/three hives, he was just a hobby bee-keeper. I do remember playing with it later, just winding the handle and watching it spin imagining I was extracting honey. Now I have actually seen an electric one in action I am able to fully comprehend the labour it must have taken all those years ago extracting the honey and collecting the wax for re-using. I also have a greater appreciation of the farmers of bees and work involved for these bee-wranglers and farmers extracting the honey and getting that beautiful natural wax!

Yes and imagine how much he invested in all of these machines. Another bee keeper (who does it mostly for a hobby) said him and his wife calculated that they make 50 cents an hour each with all the work they do bee keeping and making honey. That's not much. I don't think they use all these fancy machines though.

All farming is a large investment, a huge ammount of work, low return, and huge risk! If you think honey production is crazy, look into the dairy industry. Those folks do row cropping, milk production, and beef production, all at once. Not to mention 3 separate marketing and insurance dances. Combined with the government payments paperwork, epa compliance, equipment force, maintenance, veternarians, trucking, and last, TAXES!

I love how you move that awkward barrel lifter around, when the honey barrels are wheeled and probably way easier to move to the lifter! I respect that!

[@JeffHorchoff]

The drum lift is a "must have" in our operation, those drums weigh over 700 pounds when they have honey in them. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 450 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace. Mr. Ed

Hello . Mr. Ed 👋😁 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@nancywhite2014]

I am amazed at how much equipment is used in your honey production process. Thanks for sharing and including the girls 🐝 in the cleanup of your barrels. 😎

[@HolzMichel]

it's absolutely amazing how much bees produce. that barrel lift is as handy as the knob on the outhouse door!! Mr. Ed, you're working smarter, not harder. always amazing to watch this channel! have a blessed day Mr. Ed!!

[@branmcg9844]

Thanks again Mr. Ed. Between all the work and editing and worship; When do you sleep.

The heated spackle knife to scrape the old foundation is a brilliant step. I wonder if you can find a set up like a soldering iron where the knife heats itself to take the propane torch step out. How about a clothes iron so that when you are swapping the scraped frame for the next wax laden one you can set the knife on the iron to put heat back into the knife blade? (That would even give you temperature control.) I really respect the way you keep improving all your processes every season. In that vein, watching the separator run makes me wonder if there is a way to get the wax to ride higher up the screened tub. As it is, half of the screen (the upper half) is never used. Maybe you could get that last bit of honey out of the cappings or reduce the spin cycle time if you could find a way to get the wax to ride the full height of the tub. I did notice how you have deleted both the tub knives and separator lid this time around. Always working a new idea. Keep it up, and many thanks for letting us visit with you.

For the life of me, I can't figure why the wax won't ride higher. I've even scraped the cappings off the side and started over to no avail. I have resigned myself to the fact that that is how it's going to bee. Still, it does work very well. I have to admit, the flame thrower was a pretty good idea. Thanks for watching. God's peace Barbe. Mr. Ed

[@barbeonline351]

@@JeffHorchoff It has been a long time since I took physics, but the cappings on the screen are likely a competition between density and viscosity. Viscosity determines how thinly the wax will spread, and density then determines at what point gravity limits the height the cappings can attain. Maybe as an experiment you can somehow preheat/warm a batch of cappings/honey mixture and see if the improved viscosity yields a different result during the spin? My best guess.

[@JeffHorchoff]

@@barbeonline351 Great suggestion, heat always gets things to move better. Thanks for the idea. God's peace Barbe. Mr. Ed

[@apveening]

@@JeffHorchoff One more thing, to me it looks like the extractor could handle the remaining load of two of those white drums after draining the honey.

[@kenjewell3889]

Got to say Mr Ed, I love your positivity. Thank you for your interesting video, I never really thought before of the processes involved to separate the honey.

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thanks so much for your kind words Ken and for taking the time to watch the video. I hope you will check out more of them, there's only about 440 of them to chose from. Looking forward to hearing from you again soon, and by the way, I post a new video every Friday. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

@@JeffHorchoff I will definitely watch more videos.

[@katj7641]

Fun to watch! Quick suggestion…instead of wrestling that barrel lifter to the barrels, I noticed there are wheels on the barrels….leave the barrel lifter next to the spinner and move the barrels to it? Less struggle for you, you need to conserve those muscles for all your other work! Though it’s fun to watch in fast motion. 😅God bless you, Mr. Ed!

[@JeffHorchoff]

No doubt, it would be easier to move the drums, but there's lots more drama the other way. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. God's peace Kat. Mr. Ed

[@martenapperloo1055]

Is that old wax Jeff ,is that why you're scraping it of

[@JeffHorchoff]

Because the wax had brood laid in it before the honey was back filled, it will attract wax moths which will destroy the wax. I'm scrapping the wax and salvaging it before the wax moths destroy it. God's peace Marten. Mr. Ed

[@bloodandcarnage]

Letting nature get back from what you are taking is a cool way to do things. I can really appreciate that.

[@JeffHorchoff]

It's all part of the balance, they give to us, and we give back to them.Thanks so much for watching, and if you are interested, I'd greatly appreciate you checking out some of my other 450 videos on bees. And if that is not enough for you, each Friday I post a new one. Looking forward to hearing from you again. God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@bloodandcarnage]

@@JeffHorchoff I am for sure going to go look at more. I already checked out some of your videos.

[@duplollamaree1250]

no matter what I watch, no matter where I am in life, I somehow always come back to beekeeping videos

[@JeffHorchoff]
