How to Clean Beehive Frames - The Bush Bee Man

[@JoesphEKerr]

I boiled down my wax with the wife's spaghetti pot (it was the biggest one we had). It was only after the wax had cooled and I was scrubbing it out (over and over again) that I realized we wouldn't be having spaghetti again for a while. Anyway, loved the music - catch you next time Bush Bee Man.

Use washing soda in the boiling drum....1kg per 150 litres....frames come out like new...boxes too.

Another good day! A fresh Bush Bee Man video to bring a smile to my face.

[@debramacnabb7043]

Love the idea of cleaning all your frams and boxes with only the cost of your time an old drum and some scrap wood way to go

What I love about you sir you take us on an adventure nothing is rehearsed or very little at least either that or you're a damn good actor

[@PilotMcbride]

That's how we used to do our washing until our new copper boiler turned up, 🤣!! You young fellas think you invented everything!! 🤣🤣 Job done, now for a wee drop of Port. 🇦🇺 🍺🍺 🐝🐝

My father in law turned 90 last month, he's decided he's ready to move to a nursing home now. I learnt to cook on a wood fired stove almost 60 years ago. I can still tell the temperature of the oven using my hand ✋️.

Love the show and your boy is a good camera man keep it up

[@privatebubba8876]

The slag is propolis, wax, bee parts and other parts unknown. I'm thinking you need like a drag line ferrying the frames through a steam bath. If you make it long enough you can put all the frames on and start, mosey down to the other end and stack the frames as they come through. Some folks over here in the US are dipping their boxes in paraffin instead of staining or painting to preserve them. It looks like you have to much red in the mix on your new video camera. You look very red, either that or you've found W.C.Fields's key to life. "I never drink the water because of the disgusting things fish do in it".

When I get wax stuck to something metal I just boil up my tea kettle and pour the water over it as soon as it boils, takes a few tries but it all washes away with the water. Best done outside though, you don't want that stuff in your sink.

[@vwbusguy]

Talking about cwa cooking. Im a baker and when you cook bread in the old days they would hang an ear of wheat at the back of the oven and depending on how it reacts is how the bread would bake.

Thanks for the idea mr BBM

[@jaybird7725]

You Sir, are a riot! Can I come hang out with you. LOL

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

Gees the wife will be happy, nothing smells better in the house than a wet BBM I bet :). I just freeze my frames and the girls do the rest, but you are having a lot more fun making witches brew, I'm surprised you didn't add yeast to it and bottle it LMAO :)

[@michaelbuck44]

Try caustic soda lots of beekeeper use it to aid the hot water to clean the frames, boxes and queens excluders better

[@scarletpeate]

Any idea the proportion? I'm looking to try caustic soda on mine.

[@MrPaulviles]

Drop the frames in the freezer for 48 hours and the cold kills the eggs and lava.

[@spitezor]

So strange to think of rain where you are. Always looks so dry.

[@Tinker_Balambao]

I keep forgetting its winter there. 🤷‍♀️😆

[@PilotMcbride]

We don't have Winters down here Margaret, well except for Tasmania but even that's debatable this year. We have Summer, not so hot Summer (Spring & Autumn), warm Summer (Winter). 🤣🤣

[@Tinker_Balambao]

@@PilotMcbride lol, I hope one day to be just offshore where I can stare at the continent with a safe amount of ocean between me and it. Because.. just... why do your spiders have to be so huge? 😭

[@PilotMcbride]

Friendliest spiders in the World, 🤣🤣. We've only got 2 that will kill you. 2 spiders & 2 snakes, but we have a whole nest of pollies that'll give you some hurry up, 😂😂. All the best mate. 🐝🐝

[@munibungbeeking1719]

That rain will transfer into honey in a couple of months time can you show some colonies next week? Is there conola flowering down there yet

[@gtate135]

I didn’t know Benny Hill was a beekeeper

Good morning

[@gullreefclub]

When they put that old boy in the retirement village his room is going have padded walls and his suit jacket sleeves will be six feet long and have straps on the end of them and buttons up the back.

[@OkieRob]

Why didn't i think of boiling water instead of trying to burn the wax off the strainer. Doh

[@nuruzzaman4893]

Does the water damage the wood in the long run? I'm also thinking about using a blow torch. What do we think?

[@billmitchell7731]

How do you like those Styrofoam hives??

[@tedbower685]

[@laurettagalm7103]

Sorry you seem like a jolly fella but are you going to teach us how to do something or audition for a comedy act

[@kathrynstewart4927]

Yuck. A Donald Trump Jr ad about hunting!? Skipped that shit. Loved the video, as always, but no way am I wasting a second on any Trump family ad once identified. Boo on KZbin.
