We Got our Largest Honey Harvest Ever!

[@rstlr01]

So satisfying to hear you are finally seeking out the knowledge of a mentor and other local beekeepers. You will be buying a bigger extractor next year!

[@James2PlayzMC]

I keep bees and it’s the most exciting time when it comes to harvest! You really feel like you have come on a journey to get to the honey. People don’t realise how hard you work for every spoonful. Keep up the great work 🥰 with love from England 😉

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Absolutely... it's taken us 4 years of beekeeping to get to this point and we're just getting started

[@James2PlayzMC]

@@whitehouseonthehill I wish you good luck 😄😀

[@SupermanofUranus]

​@@whitehouseonthehill Dude! I cannot "bee-lieve" that you have a stockade of honey from the hive. You and her are basically the drone and Queen Bee of the video.

[@Karlltty]

here some tips when cleaning the combs for honey make sure you keep the capping you can turn it into a nice candy and make more money great for both ways!

[@dtg68]

I purchased your honey and received it a few days again. All I can say is wow! I have only had honey off a supermarket shelf and the difference is incredible. Your honey is amazing!! My whole family loves it!! Thank you for the opportunity to purchase a little piece of your farm!!

Using a electric hot torch I a good idea but takes a lot of time , so what i do is , I use a electric shouldering iron machine ( of 25watt ) & remove the soldering bit of it & attached a stainless steel wire net edge - which at the end work as a HONEY PAW machine , & work as a butter knife - really smooth really fast

[@Jbeesgaming]

The honeycomb melting is so satisfying

[@justinvasquez2206]

True :)

[@rosy-s2h]

Yeah :)

[@ibrahimshah9328]

Very nice send me Pakistan

wish I had that honey it would be perfect

[@monicasimon2790]

This is so beautiful to see, i am really happy for you and your harvest! I have a few tips that could help (i have harvested a lot of honey). You should first start the extractor on the lowest speed, then turn the frames so that you extract from each side of the frame. Then do the same thing with a higher speed. You can increase the speed like this and turn the extractor on for about 4 rounds. Also, the extractor is moving so much either because it is not level or the frames differ in weight too much. We use uncapping forks (those that look like big, usual forks with many teeth, not reversed). They are faster than the hot gun and less damaging than the hot knife. They leave a very nice looking comb afterwards if done with care (scoop small sections at a time, don't go from side to side). I hope you continue to do great and share it with us! Your farm is wonderful and i really enjoy seeing it grow!

[@amyfluffyfluff880]

This is always my favourite video of the year, I wouldn't mind if it was longer 😬 and it was so satisfying seeing the wax caps get melted ☺️

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thanks!

[@markbabcock6939]

Uncapped honey on frames can sour and ferment from having too much moisture. Has nothing to do with crystallization.

[@AngieS_91]

We got our bees started in June & we are so excited to get our 1st harvest! Great video!! We work with others & have a mentor as well & yes, it’s so great to have all of their knowledge! We have a great community here. ❤

[@chrishagberg3420]

The flow of the honey is absolutely beautiful! I love all the aspects of life on the farm you show, but taking care of the bees is really fascinating to watch. Thanks for explaining all the aspects of honey production so well!

[@eldiablooooo]

Just a tip from an electrical engineer, unspool all your cable from the drum before using heavy loads, if you don't the insulation in the cable drum will melt sooner or later and It can start a fire.

[@LexEllisOG]

I absolutely love how much the kids are involved, and the assembly line is the most perfect thing ever!!! 🙌🏼🖤

[@TheFezzik]

Good to see you grow as a beekeeper and you're doing beekeeping with splitting. Great job. Just a few suggestions. Get some turkey feathers, use them as a brush. Far easier and makes the girls much less angry. Your third strainer isn't really required. Just remember you don't need to see the queen. Just need to see eggs. If there are eggs, she's been in there in the last 3 days. When cutting it helps to make a saw motion with the heated knife. Just extracted 700 lbs of honey this year. Remember to be treating for mites in August for winter bees.

[@charlotteralff769]

Have you considered moving your hives to a shaded area or adding shade to where they are?

[@thenortonfamilyhomestead]

We just got our hives in March and aren't planning on touching the honey this year! We keep having to explain to friends and family that the bees' needs come first. We won't have a harvest this year, but hopefully, next year, we will have plenty of honey!

[@soulloving4562]

Love how clear and golden that honey is, what flowers do they get pollen from?

[@whitehouseonthehill]

All over our pasture... a lot of clover, wildflowers and Tulip Poplar's in that honey.

[@flamboyantpotato4004]

There is a way to help prevent pests in the beehives, especially moths. If you are doing honey harvesting rounds and notice some of the honey comb was used for brood at one point, you should not return the once used brood comb back to the hive. Melt it down, purify it, and use it for something else. The brood comb attracts wax moths the most.

[@TazGirl72]

The honey looks so yummy, I ordered a jar!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thanks!

[@daliayoussef2038]

Where did you get that bucket/box for the layens hives please? I've been searching for something similar but couldn't find it.

[@AnEntityBrowsingYT]

It's been a number of years since I've seen a video of yours. A short just popped up. Was an early subscriber and your honey-loving boy was just born. Glad I found you again

[@lightpawshird]

It's really cool to see a family working together and having a great time doing it! Many great harvests to you in the future!

[@BagladyNH]

I just think you and your family are so lucky to be living like you are. I sat here thinking in my whole life(70 now) I have never held a chicken or patted an emu. I'm allergic to bee's so that is out, but your animals most I will never have the pleasure of patting or feeding or hugging. I've had dogs, cats and rabbits. I am just amazed at all you and your kids do. Thank you for sharing your life. Oh and PS.. I do know how to catch a snake 😁

[@sufianmuhammad4754]

Thank you Jake and Becky for sharing this..Learn so much stuff after watching your video...Wish you and family the best of health...From Singapore here..❤️

[@lindad1195]

This is so fascinating! Not just the honey harvest but also all you’ve learned on how to build up your bees and getting them healthy! Thanks for the video!!

[@nikolayatanasov9637]

Amazing work. Just ine tip, when you get the frame out shake it 2 or 3 times so most of the bees can get of it and then brush the rest with the brush. It is making colecting honey frames more easy for me. :)

[@chuckroast7053]

Congratulations on your harvest of honey. I have heard of the heat gun method for the wax cappings, but in my opinion, the heat might kill off some of the natural enzymes, antibiotics, etc., that is actually a benefit from raw honey. You will get different opinions im sure, but I just stick to the wax scraper. Good job with the bees, and im glad they are flourishing !

[@jenniferapiary]

Correct when you heat it is not consider raw honey

[@chuckroast7053]

thank you, Miss Jenn🙂 @@jenniferapiary

[@131dyana]

Thank you for sharing. God bless.

[@Rika.-_-.]

Not sure if you do the off-camera frames that slow.. and not sure if it would help at all but there is this serrated knife you can get that has the same angulation as the hot knife, but all you have to do it saw down through the caps. Another tool you could get is an Uncapping Fork that can pick at some of the caps that get left behind.

[@lararabb8888]

Love Becky's big expressive eyes. Glad she could pass them down to a couple of the kids! 😊❤

[@ChristWillAlwaysBeKing]

God has Blessed you with such a Beautiful Family Thank You for sharing your Blessing.

[@briancaleb6503]

Sure enjoy watching this, not only are bees making all that honey but imagine all the pollinating they are doing in your area. We plant a lot here we get a few Honey Bees but not lots, one year there were three kinds of Bumble Bees LOTS. This year I have watched two kinds of Bumble Bees not as many as last year. But anyway you are doing so much more then just making honey, you are helping Trees make fruit and nuts, flowers make seeds, gardens make vegetables, kudos to your family!!!

[@josie_chaye]

I swear I’ve been waiting for this day😂 So happy you guys are able to provide for your family like this. One day I’ll get there!

[@heatherbellnails6027]

Already sold out! The honey looks so good! I like to buy chunks of honey comb, I mix it in almost everything.

[@CharlesLinguenheld]

Hey sir. Not sure about the heat gun 😭 Here in europe we’re avoiding as much as a possible heating up the honey. It’s kind of destructive for all it’s properties, and might even have an impact on it’s conservation period. Your life’s a dream for many btw :). Have a good one

[@Jbeesgaming]

I agree with you Uriah bees are fascinating

[@whitehouseonthehill]

😊

[@31armywife]

I ordered honey before watching the video because I didn’t want to miss out this year. The first order I placed for two. Because you said you would cancel any that had more than one I went back and placed another order for one. Sorry about that. I got too excited. I got some of your honey in 2021 and missed out last year. So I just quickly ordered. Can’t wait to get the honey!!!

[@melhayley6738]

Isaiahs his little face lit up when there was honey around, 🍯 he's got a liking for honey like pooh bear 🍯❤

[@ashleyblazer4134]

I didn’t miss the honey order!!! Yay! ❤

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Yep, forgot to make them available on our site, they're up now.

[@lwandomweetwa2908]

Uriah is keen on bees and honey production compared to the other kids

[@bhoutikkothabd]

Your wife love you a lot. Can be seen how much she supports and helps you. You are such a luck man . Take love from bangladesh ❤

[@darlouthia5153]

The honey flowing is mesmerizing 🐝 🍯 and seeing how affectionate Bamboo is was a treat ❤

[@littlenewthings2662]

Nature's liquid gold! Thank you so so much for sharing us your experience harvesting honey. So sorry that last year a lot of bees had challenges surviving. Pray that this year your hives will all survive and thrive throughout the entire winter! I actually didn't know you can eat with the comb together. That looks really awesome!

[@emilypalmer1244]

so encouraging you have changed for the better and reaped the benefits of it keep it up beautiful family

[@aureliosantos4536]

I'm a beekeeper in Brazil, and I like seeing this activity from other countries, congratulations on the work.

[@shulamitebeautifulbride]

You and Becky inspire me to try things out of my comfort zone. I'd love to have a hive.

[@Akoba23benin]

Is it possible you integrate your hive to a sylvo system of moringua or tagaste. It will help with the heat, good source of food for honey and high protein/fiber leaves for cattle

[@dewsieee]

For the last four years I have missed out on getting a jar of honey, and finally I can get one! You all are inspiring. Keep doing what you do. ♥

[@laurelsemcek4693]

What kind of honey is it? Clover, or wild flower, or....

[@lisanowakow3688]

I really like the shape of your bottles!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thanks!

[@joycemaurer3588]

I'm always spellbound by the bee process! Boy he really likes his honey and his eyes are amazing.

[@lindasuerussell4398]

love your choice of honey jars.

[@SirHackaL0t.]

If you are using a high powered electrical device through an extension lead I’d suggest unwrapping the complete cable instead of leaving it wound up on the spool.

[@BiterAvid]

A Honey Explosion and it will only be a bigger exploision year after year. Yall are getting very good at this. I am with Uriah. Honey is too sweet for me, although he denied that was the reason, he went on to explain that it is too sugary for him. But Uriah and I both recognize the miracle and the beauty of Bees and their Honey. Love yall.

[@EngPheniks]

One teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of lemon juice dissolved in lukewarm water is very good in treatment of cold. drink it at least twice a day for a week. wild honey is favourable.

[@BryanLChess]

Hello, doesn't the heat you use to melt the caps also damage the honey?

Suggestion: get a stamp of your logo so you dont have to hand write the tags. :)

its been interresting following ur journey and watch u guys learn. glad u got a comunity to surport u in ur beekeeping travels.

Oh! Your ému is so beautiful. He has such a pretty head.

[@ziggytorres9937]

Try cheese cloth for the wax! Straining

[@nukelie8920]

What about the flow hive, I didn’t see the extraction 😔

[@Siseja]

do you leave whatever doesnt make it through the filter out for the bees to collect again?

[@Shotgunwizard91]

11:35 just casually smooshes like 200 bees

[@Addictedtoyoutube9]

I saw a video about "flow hive" it automatically collects honey through a see through screen and using pipes.

[@ipaduser5375]

its not optimal because some honey remains i. the hive or floats out of the entry hole. this attracts wasps and hornets which may kil lyour hive

[@Addictedtoyoutube9]

@ipaduser5375 OK thanks I didn't know that Also saw a video about a Russian guy growing honey in large plastic bottles it was just labour saving thats all. Traditional way like yours is good for longevity I think

[@user-drchaebroTV]

MANY JARS OF HONEY?! WHAT AN HONOUR OF YA!

[@rebelwithoutthering]

In the barn is that a australian shepherd???? I have one of those myself

[@wilkoone9155]

Thats an interesting frame size, looks enormous they must be very heavy to lift, I'm using langstroth which I find manageable.

[@aftabahmed5470]

13:49 ayoo this is supposed to be wholesome

[@lillianperry6451]

Looks delicious it takes me a really long time to use up a jar of honey as I'm diabetic so I don't indulge in this treat to often. Some day I will order s jar.

[@denicesanders4586]

My doctor told me to keep honey to use for low blood sugar. Better for you than sugar.

Thank you 😊

[@shaunkz2805]

Dang I’m “late” aka 10 hrs since the video posted and honey is sold out! Either way great job on the harvest and how big the colonies have become. I remember watching when you got the first hive and all of the struggles between then and now yet you’ve never given up and they’re bigger and better than ever! Good stuff!

[@henrymorrey4150]

Sucks to suck

[@donaldduck9493]

hey guys. been following for a long time.. you know what might be kinda cool for packaging up the honey, is if you made your own beeswax and dipped the top of the jar in the beeswax to seal it. plus u could make a stamp and stamp your logo into the wax, sort of like the Kings Seal or whatever its actually called. maybe would be a fun adventure in learning how to make the beeswax, dye it maybe. would be a fun video for me to watch :D

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I enjoyed watching this video, and learning a little more about honey extraction (liquid gold). The best part having you family involved. I'm looking forward to your honey. We just ordered a jar.

[@munchiequeen6924]

I always miss the honey. One day. One day I’ll get my hands on this delicious honey from my favorite KZbin family 🩷 I’m also in Missouri so I know it will help my allergies!

[@Mikosun]

When I was young I didn't care for honey either...now, I love it! A serving a day love to be exact. ♥

[@ChucktownJosh]

Same here my taste buds have developed to love it. Same with onions

[@donpace6405]

You have such Beautiful Animals.

[@prathamrai8602]

We got like 30+ bee hives and my father been working for 20+ years in bee keeping but now we stopped taking the honey from bees . Bees cannot make more honey like it used to before due to various factors (4g,5g,industrial etc) Now it’s all about hobby for my dad . If we take honey from bees then most likely that certain hives will not flourish due to lack of honey

[@mattg6472]

Seriously ? Are your hives insulated ?

[@ericminniear8130]

Sure is a beautiful color

[@bonamy25]

Have you noticed a difference in taste between heating it up vs using the scraper?
