HERE GO SOME HONEY! Simple honey extraction and one-step beeswax processing

This is our first year to harvest honey, so we recorded some of the process to share with y'all. I also show how we process beeswax without having to re-heat it multiple times.

[@TheCrafsMan]

OH MERCY! A gentlemen named Sorrow TV had liked this video and sent a lot of people over here. I'm so glad for that! I usually try to reply to every single comment (because someone took the time to comment to me, and I appreciate that) but there are so many that I wanted to say right here THANK YOU to everyone for taking time to watch the video and comment! I hope it brought some joy, relaxations, knowledge, etc. to you today.

[@turnbu1l]

Is that a challenge?

[@ZealotsACH]

Best voice on KZbin. I want this guy to narrate my life.

[@TheCrafsMan]

"Zach is awakened by the sound of an alarm clock. But he forgot... it's actually his day off. 'What a pleasant thing to remember', Zach thought to himself. He opened the curtains to reveal an absolutely beautiful day outside. Zach had an immediate craving for Mexican food."

[@ZealotsACH]

[@corvidgod]

Thank God for SorrowTV sending a bunch of us here, I feel so calm now

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank y'all for giving it a chance. It has been neat to see so many people check out one of my videos.

[@MitsueOokami]

Jack Jordan everything related to Bob Ross is good stuff let's be honest

[@TheCrafsMan]

LOL! Thank you for watching! I imagine it would have been neat to be his cousin.

[@bellacapulet1933]

This is so wholesome. Oh my goodness. Hearing you say "this is my wife"... For some reason that reminded my of my adoptive granddaddy. Now I'm crying.

[@BigMG86]

If this ain't the smoothest, most relaxing video on all of KZbin, I don't know what is.

[@TheCrafsMan]

:D Mannnnnnn, Michael... I sure do appreciate the kind words, my friend.

[@luisfermar04]

It’s overall a lot of better than other asmr videos.

[@darc6278]

Him: I can look at honey all day Me: I can listen to you all day

[@janicegipson4691]

Shout out to Lady Crafsman for handling those bees like a pro. And glad you're getting her a bee brush. This video did look delicious! Around here (Oregon), beekeepers often sell fancy carved beeswax at the farmers markets, but I buy a big box of beeswax tea lights & pillars to use during the power outages from winter/spring storms. Beeswax candles refresh the air for easier breathing than any other source of nonelectric lighting!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Hello Janice! :D So glad to hear from you. Thanks for watching and commenting. The new brush is wonderful: It's very soft, and does a great job of "encouraging" the bees away from the frame. :) Candles are a great use for beeswax. I may look into making candles using custom molds.

[@ghazimassarani6935]

Can you show us how you make those candles in a future video?

[@raddastronaut]

It dawned on me. We all love the Bob Ross crossed with snoop aesthetic but here you remind me of the late great Mitch Hedberg as well. Great channel, great narration as always Crafsman!

[@crimsonknight5575]

[@crimsonknight5575]

your boye oye I know right!😆

[@shlurmp]

The craziest part is I've actually done this all before. It's so fun to see how different apiaries are set up, how they're doing, and how different people collect their bee's honey. Small fact: you can still get stung through the bee suit, but it's just a lot less likely, and wearing a bee suit is probably the strangest experience you could go through. I love the commentary, keep up the good work man!

[@ScrewDrvr]

Crafsman sends the wife in to deal with them bees. Smart.

[@TheCrafsMan]

HAHAHA! Oh mercy... you got me and my wife laughing over here!!! My excuse is: The bee suit is in her size. LOL!

[@biggafigure8575]

How do I craft a prenuptial agreement that says my wife will deal with the bees while I narrate her activities from the safety of my screened in porch?

I watch the fire outta that!

[@ralu9433]

Not true. The crafsman is an expert at making awesome videos.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Now that right there is a nice thing to say to somebody. Thank you, my friend.

[@Fizzlesmirk]

Oh my goodness...this is so gentle. Thank you so much for sharing. Honey scraping is the NUMBER ONE thing I search for when I try to relax. I’m always happy to find more. I’d gladly watch more honey scraping from you and your wife!!! Fantastic work. I’d watch you guys collect honey time after time : ) Really wholesome. Glad that you take good care of your bees. Good on you for getting a bee brush!!! So glad to see good bee parents

[@pesto12601]

In a world full of the same KZbin stuff over and over.. I think you found yourself a nice schtick... keep it up CrafsMan!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thanks so much for the encouraging words!

Whenever he says “do yAll lyke Honey?” I feel like I’ve been kissed goodnight ever so gently on my forehead

This has me in tears laughing. Crafsman keep on steadycraftin! He's like Bob Ross crossed with Mitch Hedberg. Thank you Crafsman!

[@TheCrafsMan]

:) Very nice comment, Jimmy! Thank you for watching!

[@nunyabiznes5489]

I came here to say that I have severe trypophobia and this was the first time I've ever been able to watch this process without getting physically ill. Thank you for such a pleasant experience. It was truly beautiful.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Wow. I'm so glad you were able to watch it, Teresa! I only recently learned about trypophobia. I really appreciate the kind comment!

[@elle947]

The Bob Ross of Bee Keeping!!

[@benjamisprime338]

My wife and I just started our first hive last week!! Very excited to be sharing in process and learning along with you!

This is so different from what I normally watch yet I like it so much?

Makes me smile to read this. Thank you!

His voice...just so...Southern...and beautiful. His voice...smooth...like honey being poured in the glass jar. So satisfying, it was. I could listen to this all day and not get tired of it.

[@noctoadal9290]

Mate, lovely video. I found your videos when looking at ways to distress and age wood, fell into some kind of trance and ended up watching all of your videos. Now saying "my name is your host" is a thing between my girlfriend and I. We just sneak up and whisper it all soothing and soft at random unexpected times at each other. It improves most situations. We think you're a treasure. And now we're inspired to start doing random crafty things together. South Mississippi looks like a very pretty place to be too. Much love from Australia.

[@TheCrafsMan]

:D :D :D This comment makes me very happy. LOL! I cracked up at y'all saying that to each other. And I'm so glad y'all are inspired to start doing craft things together! I would be delighted to see y'all do some craft videos, because I really like the Australian accent!

[@krampus225]

Is there nothing you CAN'T do? Edit: Of all the people here on KZbin you're honestly one of the only ones I've ever wanted to actually meet, you're so sweet, calm and talented.

[@melodyruth2583]

Crafsman-You are the Bob Ross of the Craft world. My wife and I absolutely love your videos. God bless you and yours ! 👍🏻👍🏻

i’ve been trying to find this video for MONTHIS i found this video originally 2 years ago and this is the only video that will truly calm me down when i’m crying or upset or angry

[@PaintByMonster]

Crafsman, I look forward to each and every one of your new videos. I love what you are doin' here on KZbin. I would like to do some crafting together with you in one of your future videos. I think it could be something really special. I like to binge-watch your videos again and again. Not, all of them, but I have my special favorites. You probably do too. I hit the thumbs up for this video. Thanks, Crafsman!

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so very much! I just went and looked at your channel. You have some HIGH-QUALITY work going on, my friend! I feel confident you're headed to great success with what you do. Lots of work goes into those videos, I can tell!

I really enjoyed your video! My dad and my grandfather were beekeepers for many years. They had their own family business selling honey. When I was a kid, my parents used to sell honey at different markets and festivals throughout California. Sometimes I got to go too and help out. I really miss it. Orange blossom honey is my favorite.

[@scottjones8100]

That was a FANTASTIC video right there, Crafsman. I love honey. I've been curious about beekeeping for years, and watching you and your wife as relative beginners at it is JUST the sort of thing I need to see. You answer some common questions very straightforwardly, and the techniques for extracting honey and getting clean wax look really doable. Thanks for this, Crafsman, and you keep right on the way you are. Little bits of "how to" info on this and that is a great way to go about your channel--pulls in a large variety of people with different interests!

[@fraweggy]

Thank you to you and Mrs. Crafsman for sharing this!

[@TheCrafsMan]

You're so very welcome, Carrie! :D

[@tomasribeiro3873]

my grandpa was a beekeeper and we used to collect honey every summer. 80-ish beehives. He died a couple of years ago, and so did the bees. I miss him very much.

[@kyokaiiba]

Thank u sorrow

[@TheCrafsMan]

I'm saying the same thing this morning. Wow.

[@kawaiilombax]

Shaking the frames when gathering the honey won’t harm them and its a lot better than using things like bee smokers, it’s a wonderful thing that you were concerned for the bees and brought your wife a bee brush !! Keep up the great bee keeping ! 🧡🧡

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you so much! :D

[@typerexc]

What a wonderful change of pace to my day. Thank you! I love honeycomb too. It's an extra special treat when you can put some aside until it crystallizes a bit.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Thank you! :D And YES indeed... we're waiting on some to crystallize so we can start the process of making creamed honey! :D :D :D

This takes me back. We used to keep bees when I was a teenager (30 years ago). I loved the job of purifying the wax. I've still got a big chunk of it that I use in woodworking. Thanks for another great video.

Oh my God, your accent kills me, man. You're so unbelievably relaxing, I love it so much!

Just recently discovered your channel, because google caught me looking into a website that sells greenstuff and things. I'm glad that I've learned some new and interesting things. This video really sealed the deal for me though. I started looking into bee keeping, about 5 years ago, but never really can. It's nice seeing somebody doing all of these things that I'm interested in, delivered in a comfy and pleasant videos. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@TheCrafsMan]

Hey John! Mannnnn, I've seen the Flow Hive in action. Very interesting how they came up with that design. Incredible. Never used one, but it looks slick as all get out! Hope you have a great time keeping bees! Thank you for watching!
