More great info , thank you sir
So nice of you, and thank you for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't already.
I always give you a thumbs up.😊
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Your videos are always just what I need! Thank you for all the time you spend making these quality, and informative videos!!
Glad you like them!
Hello Dave enjoy all of your great videos and was nice to meet you at 2023 HiveLife and hope to see you at the next America’s Adventure for bees
I hope so too!
Haha, that's awesome, hope you like the coffee mug!
I love it!
David, thanks for doing this video because I have several frames not completely capped, you have answered many questions for me. Enjoy the Bourbon Maple syrup on many foods.
Thank you.
I had already spun out a decent bit of honey to make space for my honey-bound hives this year. Most of those frames were not capped… but we’re closer to the brood area of my horizontal hives… and should be older nectar. I figured (was hoping) they left it uncapped for swarming.
I got a refractometer and it wound up being about 16.5% luckily.
Re-stocked my personal stash… and am bringing in 7 bottles to work this morning to sell.
Thank you for another great video. Hope to meet you at EAS.
Yes be sure to come up and say hi.
Hi
Thanks David!
Another awesome video!!
Great information David, appreciate your videos always.
Thank you Dave
I love the well thought out and timely videos, thank you David!
Glad you like them!
Really informative, many thanks from the UK.
Great informations, thx David
Timely video....as always
Good video David, some real good informative content! Enjoyed it, thanks 😎
I wished my spring honey is that light. Mine is real dark. Great video
Good idea for an episode.
Very interesting! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I guess honey moisture content also has to do with location location and climate. Great idea to always test. Thanks, Gina
Excellent video. I have just bought the refactometer
Thanks so much! Looks like I probably have more that is harvestable than I thought! We do have a refractometer so I will check the frames out here!
Sounds great!
Hi David,
You mentioned at the start that you calibrated your refractometer. Yet later you say that they come calibrated, plus in your other video, you say not to mess with the calibration. So why did you need to calibrate your refractometer, this time?
(I use my refractometer, constantly. Even on my extracted honey, to make sure it's not changing.)
Thanks!
Hi David
Long time watcher. Keeping bees four years now. Truly enjoy and apply your knowledge and suggestions. Thank-you. A question about honey moisture. What is a good average moisture percentage at time of harvest?
Wow, so even the last frame was ready to be bottled and had the lowest moisture content?
Thank you for the great video! What do we do with our super frames that are not ready? It is getting close to time to treat for mites. I can't treat until the supers are off.
That's a great question to ask on my lifestream Thursday night at 7pm CT. Here is the link: czcams.com/users/liveC7txdg7rQAo
If you extract excess backfill nectar from deep frames what is the Brix reading to make 1:1 to feed back to the bees. Isn’t feeding back diluted nectar better then refined sugar?
That's a great question to ask on my lifestream Thursday night at 7pm CT. Here is the link: czcams.com/users/liveC7txdg7rQAo
What percentage should be the cur off?
Just bought one of these devices. Dave, how do you clean the slide between tests? Thanks.
Wet rag and then dry it off.
Thanks for the info. I don’t see the link for the refractometer.
It’s in the description under the disclaimer
Still don’t see it
So what is the rating supposed to be?
Is that a hive beatle scurrying around on your frame.
Indeed
Still don’t see the link for the refractometer.
It's in there now. But here it is: amzn.to/476TCh5
