May I suggest get a milwaukee 18v blower with big battery packs 5ah or more for when you want to take a full box stand it on it's end up on the stack and blow bees out from underside to front of hive direction, then swivvel the box aroung and blow through the tops of frames, and when you were scraping off the burr comb blow the bees off to front of hive, scrape no bees. I take full boxes in and all the frames get a code and go back in same box after extraction. That feeding frenzy will encourage robbing, but I guess your aware. Nice looking apiary...Cheers
Hi Blessings from Jamaica. Curious question for you. Doesn't the wet brushing of the honey frames affect the water content of your honey? or do you put your frames through a drying cycle before extracting?
Just through gravity, let it settle to the top and get get the honey through the bottom until wax starts coming out, then just strain it out Thanks for watching
With the amount of labour, equipment, maintenance and distribution/sale you won't get rich by it, definitely not here in Sweden! Here is more of an hobby since we only have one season! 😅
very interesting video Thanks
No worries thanks for watching🙏🏼👍🏻

Yes faster but have tried that and stirrers them up big time, rather do it quietly and found this most efficient for me.

Hi By the time we get the honey to the extractor there is no water content left on the frames,
Thanks for watching
So how do you get the wax out of your honey
Just through gravity, let it settle to the top and get get the honey through the bottom until wax starts coming out, then just strain it out

Another source of income for the farm,500kg raw honey would be close to AU$2500 wholesale 🤔
Sure is Big market In it the only problem is selling there is a lot of honey around our area

@@Frivillig Least Need 400 hives
To make a Average income out of it but a lot of work definitely not a 9/5 job
That was a bee grade repair 😂
There’s a comedian in every crowd Ted🤣😉
