Amazing work always mate. Learning from every video thank you
Thanks for watching
Good Work mate! Good work! Thanks for letting us having a good look!
Thanks for watching Christian.
Just over the hill from me, love the videos. Extremely informative.
Thanks Mark. I'm working on more.
Bought some of your honey in March 23 from a coffee van outside the Orara Valley tennis club. The most unusual honey I've ever tasted. It has an aniseed flavour and smell. Absolutely delicious.
Thanks for buying my honey. Brad at Karangi Coffee is a great supporter of local businesses.
Brilliant,....Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great work man thanks for sharing what you do :)
Thankyou
Good work, mate, awesome! I am planning to start next spring, I appreciate very much showing your extraction room and the process. Best of luck, keep up the good work! Greetings from Romania
Thanks for watching & commenting.
Very interesting
Nice vid Glenn. I'm going to pinch your idea for heating water for the two uncapping knives.
That red helmet hanging on the wall of your honey room looks like it belongs to an RFS Senior Deputy Captain. Good man, well done.
You're welcome. You should be able to pick up a cheap frypan from a second-hand shop. I found mine in the back of our kitchen cupboard. Yes over a decade in the RFS.
Nice work
Thanks Alaa
Nice work 👍
Thanks for watching.
Great presentation
👌👌❤️
Taken a few ideas from your operation
All my fundamentals are parelell to yours
Many thanks

Thanks for your kind comments, Andre.
Gidday Glen. I have Apimaye hives because the temps are high here in summer.I’ve picked up that you feed the brood box but with the apimaye they have the feeder in the top which is near supers. Our climate is different but bloody great vids. Cheers
Thanks, Josie. I only feed when I need to. Mainly if the bees are starving or if they just need a bit of a lift. I wouldn't feed bees that have a honey super on. Thanks for commenting.
@@mt.corambaapiculture Thanks for your information. Greatly appreciated
Thanks, it’s nice seeing the practical details of your extraction process.
I think if I was you I’d build for the doorway so you could wheel the cart load of supers right inside. Looks like too much work packing supers in through the doorway.
I wonder if plastic boot trays would be a better choice for stacking the supers on than towels?
Thanks Graeme, It is what it is. I retrofitted an existing shed. I normally place my supers on upturned lids however I'm a bit short of them at the moment. Thanks for watching my videos & commenting.
You need to use a lapel mic to improve audio when ur at a distance from the camera
Nice work mate, heavy aren't they even in a paradise box
Yes the ten frame boxes are at the limit of what I can lift.
@@mt.corambaapiculture I had a similar set up with that same uncapper that slops around for some years, then upgraded to a stainless uncapping tank which can hold and drip out heaps of wax like 30+ boxes, and I use a honey plane, irt's super fast does not damage the combs and makes the job far more enjoyable and faster. I have also a 24 frame extractor which goes great. I once bought bees from a fella in the Orara Valley, nice country. How is this season so far for you ? Get one of these I bought mine from Nuplas but it's the same thing on ebay, on 2nd season and going strong. The beauty of this is you can have the frame on a 45 degree angle frame holder that comes with most large stainless UC tanks, both hands are free and not holding the weight, then you can plane off the caps. You still need a scraper for the odd low spot. When I get a good camera I will make a video
@@livingadamman7994 Thanks, Adam. the season is good & my bees are going well. Thanks for the advice
Appreciate the video mate, love seeing in the honey room. Curious what you do for filtration after settling. Ive been looking at just using paint strainer bags, do you think that’s fine enough?
Yes, they are fine. I use a stainless steel strainer. all the beekeeping supply stores have them.
Hey Glenn. I've just found your site and extremely impressed with your practical content . Those Paradise boxes are great aren't they .
Are you going to show any Queen rearing this year or do you buy your Queens in ? Thank you also for your Bush fire brigade service ....Good on you . Kerry....Also just subscriped .
Thanks Kerry. I will be raising queens in the next few weeks & will put a few videos together.
Question: If you spaced the honey super frames a LITTLE more apart would that not result in the caped cells being a bit higher than the frame when uncapping? Like your no nonsense videos. Thanks for the time you put in.
Thanks, Bob. I am aware of that. I prefer to have the full number of frames in the super.
Hey mate, good effort and thanks for sharing👍Do move your apiarys around or do they stay in one location all year, that’s a decent harvest.
I have 4 sites within 10 km of home and they stay there all year. Always good resources if we have a normal year. (Whatever that is now)
Hey Glen,
How do you remove honey frames/supers from your hives? Do you use escape boards? I’m contemplating my approach for next spring. Thinking escapes. Only ever gonna have max of 5 hives and want to keep time down whenever possible
Escape boards are a great tool for extraction. The Canadian Beekeepers Blog has some good videos on them. czcams.com/users/aCanadianBeekeeper%E2%80%99sBlog
Really nice here we get honey from trees natural it’s very difficult
Hello Zahid.
When the extractor is running, does honey get spun out of both sides, or do you need to reverse the spin to get them out of the other side?
That's correct. It's a radial extractor. The top bar faces the outside & honey spins out of both sides of the frame at the same time.
where can.I purchase a box with that tool across it to rest the frames on, LOVE THIS!
Hello Lori it would depend on where you live. Just search for honey uncapping units & you should find something.
Not sure if I’ve asked this elsewhere but after extraction do you put the sticky frames back onto the hive for cleanup in a new super. Just for like 2 days then remove?
The stickies go back into the same hive in the same super. They stay on the hive to fill up with honey again.
@@mt.corambaapiculture oh I was picturing doing the following. Putting a new honey super box with empty frames below a full honey super, but with an escape board in between. Then bees would move down. I extract top box. But then after extraction wanted to cleanup frames ready to be reused at a later date. Trying to understand your cycle of how your removing frames extracting and then replacing? When you lift frames out, don’t you immediately put a new empty one in to replace? Also if it’s winter time then the extracted frames definetly wouldn’t go back in, in which case I’m kinda just thinking through the cleanup of stickies over winter.
What’s that bird in the background? Thanks for your video. 🐝🍯
It's a Koel. The Eastern Koel is a migratory species that arrives in Australia from Southeast Asia to breed in spring. Although rarely seen, the Koel is well known to many Australians for its loud, repetitive calls, particularly in the early morning.
Nice video man, but when handling food it's better to wear gloves and aprons. Anyway nice video and look forward for more videos
Thanks for the advice. My premises comply with the Food Standards Code. I have handwashing facilities, with warm running water, handsoap & paper towel. Gloves are not required and I am wearing clean outer clothing.

@@mt.corambaapiculture thank you
👍👍👍🖐🖐 sub
How are you doing? I know a lot of folks in our area have taken a massive hit with the euthanasia. Look after yourself
I'm OK thanks Mark All my hives will be killed in the next few days.
@@mt.corambaapiculture I am so sorry to hear that. I don’t have many hives but if I can help please contact me.
