I like seeing the bees doing the cleanup work at the end of these videos. They seem to enjoy doing it too and it really doesn't take them very long.

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

Dear Mr. ED, I enjoy your videos very much, especially the spinner videos. Could you please tell me the size of the outer tank of the wax spinner without the legs? Also, what is the length of the leg from the ground to the valve?

[@JeffHorchoff]

I'm sorry, but I do not know those measurements. However, if you go to Mann Lake Bee Supply on the web, and type in extractors and wax separators, you will probably find all the info you need on them. Thanks for watching. God's peace brother. Mr. Ed

[@abenezergobeze8179]

can spinner be used to process honey that have been harvested from topbar hive(comb honey)?

[@jmarino715]

If you move the wax to the center of the barrel for the last scoop, it will come out a bit cleaner

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you very much for the helpful tips, all of them are very insightful and will help me in the future when I do the same job.

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.

[@stevenmayhew3944]

That'll be several inches of wax in each block which you cook in that kettle in that old storehouse.

[@JeffHorchoff]

That it will bee! Make sure you check out next Friday's post showing just how thick those blocks will be.

Where does he get all these wonderful toys? (That's a rhetorical question. It's Mann Lake.)

[@redwood1957]

Mr.Ed an of subject question. In your oppion. Are privet or ligustrum good to have close to honeybees? The reason i ask is i enjoy making new plants rooting cuttings. I would like to have a reason other than a privacy fence for these plants. Thank you

[@JeffHorchoff]

In my opinion, yes. Some people consider the smell of ligustrum overpowering and a aids to suffering from allergies, but I'm perfectly fine with every aspect of it. Plus, it does make for a good privacy fence when tall enough. Thanks for watching. God's peace. Mr. Ed

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

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

[@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.

[@kevinz8867]

Hi Ed, good video. Curious why you don't use the knifes? My understanding is they help to turn the wax over to allow more to extract and then there isn't a scraping process at the end? Or am I thinking of a spinner that auto empties?

[@JeffHorchoff]

The function of the knives is to chop the cappings as they fell into the spinner, but since the cappings from our uncapper are so small, the knives were not necessary and I removed them. 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.

I like your videos :) had an idea I wanted to share @ 28:05 in the video, what if you taped a patch of parchment paper to cover where the honey lands on the edges. I don't know but I wanted to share :)

[@JeffHorchoff]

Thank you very much for your helpful tip, and in the future I will give it a chance. Because I only do this job once a year, I hope I will remember the tip and put it into practice.

Hello there Mr Ed blessing to you and the whole crew. I try to watch as many of the folks,as I can but I have limited time sweet friend. I will try to catch a few videos when I can .i just think what you all do is so important.💕💕💕

[@JeffHorchoff]

So very kind of you to stop by when you can, I understand it perfectly. Heck, I watch very little KZbin because I'm so busy with things going on in my life. I do however spend a lot of time shooting, editing, and posting videos as well as answering as many comments as I can. Thanks so much for watching when you can. God's peace Grace. Mr. Ed

Wow! That’s a lot of beautiful honey! Where are all your helpers? God bless you, Mr Ed🙏😊💕

Believe it or not, I actually prefer doing this job, as well as the bottling of our honey, all by myself. For me it is a spiritual exercise and I love having the opportunity given to me. Thank you for your blessings and for watching. Until the next one, God's peace. Mr. Ed

[@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
