Time to Fire Up The Honey Extractor!

IT' HONEY SEASON! Before I get too busy pulling honey and checking bees before we send them up north, i wanted to actually get AHEAD and fire up our honey extractor to get a good test on all the systems! Down time costs a lot of time and money, so anything I can do to prevent that is a win! Thanks for watching guys!

I about lost it with the 80s training montage music during the time lapse.

Interesting 👍

That’s a heck of a set-up for honey production. Would love to see it in action once you get all the maintenance completed!

[@jakemoorehoney]

Absolutely! A few videos back I have it in action but will definitely be making more.

[@DuckRiverHoney]

Cool stuff Jake!

[@jakemoorehoney]

Thanks!

I need a way to process wet cappings…. On the cheep

Hi Jake, a few episodes back you showed your comb room being cooled. Was that a special refrigeration unit? I'd like to know a little more about it. I need something for my comb room to keep from using moth crystals and bug bombs. Thanks!

[@jakemoorehoney]

Yeah, first step is a well insulated room, otherwise you’ll break the bank in electricity. The AC unit was setup by a guy that knows refrigeration very well, someone way smarter than me haha. Depending on the size of your room though, I’ve heard that you can hack window units with a cool bot to get them to go down in temp as well.

The price for a new 120 frame extractor is over 100k…

[@jakemoorehoney]

Oh yeah

[@carlosestrada4138]

You run steam in yours? Ive been thinking about adding it to my 60. I'm in Arizona. It's so dry here sometimes it comes out of the comb 12-13%.

[@jakemoorehoney]

Noooo not here haha we do good to get 17%
