Another great video. I tried putting my cappings in my stainless steel fruit press this year. I normally use the fruit press to get seeds out of elderberries and blackberries but wanted to see what it would do with the cappings. I put the cappings in a cheese cloth bag and pressed out another 3 lbs of honey after I had already drained them. I also ended up with a solid cake of wax.
Hi from sunny South Africa! Watched all your bee vids in the last two days! Loved it! My 18 year old son has been bee farming from the age of 15 with my father. Not really comercial but big enough. They sell the honey, but also rent them to farmers like us for polination of onions for the seeds. We love LOVE bees! They are just the most interesting and soooo clever. We have the African honey bee they are not as mild mannered as your bees! Every year we get 5-6 bokses of swarm bees! This year they filled 15 bokses! Was a wet year. So we are very lucky, they don't have to catch lots of them as they just move in on their own. Keep up the good work! And may your farming prosper!
@Zelda Brits, here in the states several years back when I was a kid, the local news made poor sport of African honeybees, because they were deemed “killer” bees based off of a few unprovoked attacks. Of course as a kid you don’t know better, so I had been afraid of them during my young years. Eventually I got to understand they were not as a much of a threat as they were made out to be, though I would not want to wander near a nest.
I get really bad anxiety in big social situations so I put on your videos with both my earbuds in and watch you extract honey, it helps me calm down a LOT!! I love your channel so much!!
@@audix1516 social anxieties are a thing, if they’re severe they should consult a therapist. That being said, none of our business. It’s nice that this video helps them, it’s indeed very calming
There is just something so incomparably satisfying about watching this. Makes me wish I could do this for a living myself. Seems so peaceful and productive a process, with great reward! Good, wholesome work. Great video! :)
Make a hat section steel strap drill it to match the handle mtg holes and for a half inch bolt lock the bolt with jam nuts and chuck it in a half inch frill
Angle the frames the other way when uncapping. This will help the capping to fall off on to the excluder. When spinning the extractor, leave the bottom valve open, Less chance of whipping the honey. Nice video
Depends on what you want to do. It's worth it for us because we love the honey and we pay our property taxes by selling it. If you just want honey for personal consumption, you can get 2-3 hives to keep the investment low, but it will still be pricey up front.
It is if you care about the environment. Bees are kinda important to that since they, y’know, are the main pollinators of most plants, not to mention Honey can only be made by Bees.
@@fanboygamer3e they are main pollinators... but wrong bees. In the US honey bees are non native species that are out competing native species which are SIGNIFICANTLY better pollinators. But we can't get honey from blue orchard bees, so for some reason we don't care about them.
Good call to harvest the honey outside the shed, on a bright sunny day - the glistening effect off the comb after you carved off the cappings in that angle was delightful.
Great video. I love the slo-mo of the honey spinning off the frames and onto the extractor walls. You're getting so much honey from the cutting because you're frames are really well drawn out. Which is awesome!! Mean I love bees, and honey, and the entire process of raising bees. If I wasn't allergic, I would get into it on a big level. Well, not huge, but like what you've got. Plenty of hives.
Жаль что в российском сегменте ютуба нет видео о пчеловодстве такого качества и формата. Только старики, под которых только спать. Спасибо вам за ваш труд
This is fascinating i can see why my grandpa gotten into bee keeping lastyear i always wondered how he gotten the honey out of the boxes which he gifted to the family on Thanksgiving as a Christmas gift with a delicious candybar with it
Wow, you're into everything aren't you, LOL! Sawmilling, building, raising Hogs, raising chickens, cutting trees, Etc. And now beehives! And most of all you love the Lord and your family which I can tell. God bless you brother!
It's cool seeing how honey gets extracted from the honey combs. I always did wonder how spining it did anything, so this was beautiful. Great videos, probably gonna be some great binge watching material later :)
My grandmother grew up in the countryside of the state of Virgi,. She and my great-grandmother used to make pig feet in the oven. It's awesome to see how others on the other side of the globe in a different culture make them. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Where I grew up our neighbor kept honey bees. My dad always grew a garden. Those pollinating little worker bees kept our melons, cucumbers and squashes in fruit all season long.
To get all the honey out spin the frames for 3 minutes then switch directions. The centrifugal force only ends up getting 2 of the 4. Best to rotate the other way after flipping them.
I went to a local Lowe’s several months ago and seen more than a single honey bee at one time in one place in the garden area, told them to install hives and they gave me a funny look. I’ve been in a city now for five or six years and I’m lucky to see any at all, it’s really really sad
I would never thought that the honey harvesting is such a tough work. Now I understand why the honey is so expensive. Deserves every penny. God bless you and the bees!
Curious thing about goldenrod honey is that it really mellows a couple months after harvesting it. I agree that right after harvesting it has a bitter taste for sure!
some channels (i wont mention names) are too proud to ever take suggestions from the comments when often times it can make a HUGE difference. glad that worked well for you and hats off to who suggested it.
Wow this is an amazing video. This is quality content. That honey looks so damn good. Some fluffy pancakes with diary butter, sliced bananas, icing sugar and honey.
Wow. Impressed you did this outside. I always heat up my shop and do it in there. Bee free. Also I freeze my entire honey super for at least a week to kill any random thing off. Doesn't hurt the honey.
@@biggtrux besides getting the bees off, what would a bee brush do? I freeze because you never know where the random small hive beetle is or anything like that. Plus I'm not in a hurry.
glad to see you harvesting and leaving honey for the bees. Shows that you love the way God created the nature in wild-life. thanks so much for the video
Came to your channel for the beekeeping videos and stayed for everything else. I feel like your bee keeping videos are the most digestible and enjoyable. Hoping for some new bee videos soon 🤞🏼
Soooo, that's why honey is the price it is!! My goodness, that's a lot of work, but so yummy!! God bless you and your family!! Love your videos, always!! 👍💞
Beekeeping equipment can be expensive, feeding the bees and other maintenance also increases the cost of honey. Pure honey is premium and the health benefits out weigh the cost. After starting my apiary there was a noticeable improvement to my health.
I live in the central valley in Ca. and know some people who rent out beehives to farmers who grow bee friendly crops. With your sawmill, you could build hives and rent them out for cash or part of the honey every year. Your investment would be minimal and the returns good. Just something to think about.
Really interesting video. Thank you. You should buy a Chinois for finer straining. Also using your tractor there are belt systems you can buy or make pretty easy that you connect a belt to the tractor and another to the centrifuge to give a motorized spin. You can also buy kitchen strainers that are rectangular and deep that would fit in that plastic tote. They would work much better than the refrigerator shelf. Easier clean up and less waste.
I really miss having beehives. I had to give it up in the middle 80's traveling with work and the having two back surgeries. I would do it again now that I am retired but don't have the stuff to get started and can't afford it anymore. I go thru about a pint or two a month. I don't use sugar, instead I sweeten everything with honey.
Will you be making a video on the jarring of the honey...would love to see how much you came out with!! So interesting to watch and learn! Thanks for sharing!
Hi there son from Los Angeles,California!!! I want to say thank you for sharing a video of you and how you make magic with being a forger of honey as well as how great it is to see a bee collector in an georgious community and area. You have something unique, rare, and awesome that you do with your time. We enjoyed seeing you at your best. Thank you for sharing and caring for honey bees. May I ask Which region county and state is this?
Try using silk fence as a plastic mulch under your hive stands and you won't have to weed eat. Also seemed to help with hive beetles... Just a thought.
Why do you use a knife to cut the caps off of the comb instead of something like a fork to scrape them open? It seems like the knife misses quite a few cells, especially on some of the frames where the comb is shaped irregularly.

It´s been 2 years since i started watching your videos, and i´m proud to tell you that last sunday was my first honey harvest. Got nearly 240 pounds!
jeez i wouldnt know what to do with that much honey
That is awesome! Congrats!
Wow!
Good things

A moment of silence for all the bees lost @15:43
Absolutely love these vids btw. Been binge watching the whole honeybee playlist
And at 5:00 to any who might not have gotten out between the frames... can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs...
and at 19:57 when he was pouring out the capping honey
@@samvalentine3206 mother of all omelettes here jack, can’t fret over every egg

I couldn’t agree more!
The slow-mo watching the honey get slung out of the combs is a cool shot.
No matter how many times i've watched you harvest honey, they're still my fav videos on this channel
Watching the cappings being cut off is so satisfying!
I was wondering a few videos back if you were still beekeeping - glad to see so.

I always feel bad when boxes are being re-stacked, knowing some bees will have been squashed. :(
Those bees are stupid. They'll fly into anything and get themselves stuck.
Have you seen the wax video?
Their fault for not getting out of the way
Such is life
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few
Beekeeping looks like a lot of hard work and a lot of capital invested is it worth it

Nice haul! You really are lucky that didn't turn into a robbing frenzy spinning it outdoors. 😊
VERY lucky and irresponsible.
Thank you that was very informative and captivating process to observe.
I was just thinking about your bees!
Where I grew up our neighbor kept honey bees. My dad always grew a garden. Those pollinating little worker bees kept our melons, cucumbers and squashes in fruit all season long.
This is back-breaking work. Kudos to you.

All that honey out of those castings...that was amazing. Nice video

Fascinating !
I think it’s so funny that you can actually hear the bees bumping into & hitting the mic/camera
Excellent content
6:13 Bee 🐝 screaming on Mic 😂😂
I've been watching videos about harvesting honey and I never grown tired of it, Great video, Great Job 👍.
That honey glistens so nicely in the sun.
Nice reward from the bees 🐝 !! I love honey on buttered 🧈 waffles 🧇 😋 and pancakes 🥞 😋 😍
I would never thought that the honey harvesting is such a tough work. Now I understand why the honey is so expensive. Deserves every penny. God bless you and the bees!
We all have problems. The way we solve them is what makes us different.
It's amazing how much honey comes from the cappings. 🍯
I think it sounds cool with all the bees and banging on the mic and all hahaha. That Amber honey is going to be good
The Beeeez. This seems like a wildly relaxing and satisfying endeavor.
Curious thing about goldenrod honey is that it really mellows a couple months after harvesting it. I agree that right after harvesting it has a bitter taste for sure!

19:43 caused me so much anxiety thinking it was about to spill 😂
This is amazing, great work !
That’s a lot of honey
Best bee keeping channel and u take great care of your bees 😊
I'm not sure why, but I find watching this very soothing.
Beekeeping is so cool. You care for them, they care for you
I find it very entertaining listening to bees ram into the camera for some reason
Well I'm happy to see that someone else catch weeds and grass around their hives as I do

The leaf blower usage is genius!
Looks like you got some new queens coming your way.
Thanks for sharing!
seeing the bees allow themselves to be drowned in the honey is such a mood
Never seen this process, thanks very interesting...from so cal.
