Life as a commercial beekeeper in June is just kind of a blur. We're harvesting honey and everything in between here in Texas. Doing ok right now but I might just crawl into a hole and go into hibernation after all this. LOL! Hope to have a honey harvesting video coming your way soon! Thanks for watching! #beekeeping

The southeast Texas honey flow is almost over! Hopefully a lot of these colonies can top off the final box we put on them. This has by no means been a "normal" year, but then again, I don't really have a great example for "normal" LOL! Thanks for all your support!

Making New Bees! Splits in a Commercial Operation
where you mixing water in the honey?
Great video very cool process.
Most of the frames I’m seeing there are not capped. Some look less than half
Jake do you buy your sugar syrup in bulk? If so would you mind sharing your supplier? Mixing sugar water in 2gal feeders fermented to fast in our heat in Texas.
Quick question how often do you have to change or sharpen the knife on the decapper
I’m about to make a feeder set up like this. Did you have any issues with cleaning the tank initially? (I’m assuming it was a propane tank). Have you pumped hfcs55 through It? Thanks!
Great video & review, thanks for that! How did the UB suit hold up after one year of use? Would you recommend it?
Quả là một trang trại với máy móc hiện đại lần đầu tiên tôi thấy
Honey 🍯 prices… Bulk Why is nobody talking about bulk honey 🍯 prices and imported honey…
Do you have many agressivo Africanized Bees on Tx? Im from Brazil Here all colonies are africanized
Great vids whens the next one coming out? (From your neighbors on Bevil)
What do you do with all the wax cappings?
Do y’all use queen excluders between your deeps and supers so you get only honey in the supers or do y’all have a different method?
I love watching your videos, it is such an insight into large scale beekeeping. I am not there yet but definitely getting there. It is such an inspiration and amazing to see how you can scale beekeeping.
that looks serious, so as a bee keeper thank your workers as a bee keeper
excuse me, I'm writing to you with Google Translate, I don't know how understandable it is? I would be very happy to talk about beekeeping with you, I admire your videos, but you work with bees in a completely different way
Hello! would you be interested in how they kept bees? how do you prevent swarming?
Hello! where can I order such a Bee dress? can you help me with it? it is not available here in Hungary.
Jake could you use that method of splitting and introduce a mated caged queen?
I bet you could. Might need to wait a bit longer to introduce her. I have never tried it.
Where are you located
Texas!
You guys sure made a hard hot job look easy. I know you're all young and 'bullet proof' but be mindful off possible heat exhaustion. I worked for a small commercial beekeeper just a few times when he was short handed in the early 80's. I remember hauling over wintered bees back from Texas to NW Iowa on two large flatbed trucks. Going thru the weigh stations always made me laugh. The first truck would stop for about 10 seconds and get the green light immediately. The second truck wouldn't even have to slow down! Keep up the good work!
We’re constantly reminding our crew to stay hydrated! It’s very important especially when pulling honey.
Its interesting how beehives are managed and used in different countries. In Romania beehives were on large trucks and moved around the fields. Very few if any pesticides used.
gosh I was unaware of this...I buy from a brand that claims to be local Texas honey (I'm in the DFW area) but I don't have any way of knowing it if it is truly 100% Texas honey.
That’s what the real Texas honey program is for!
When stacking supers do you use an upper entrance or offset super?
We have vent holes on the lid but not enough for heavy traffic. That’s it besides the front door.
Hey Jake, I love what you are doing. You don’t find many commercial beekeepers that are willing to let smaller time beekeepers in to help. We definitely need that in the beekeeping community today. Thank you for reaching out a hand and giving back! Maybe one of these days I’ll have to come down to TX and see whatcha got going on. Keep it up!! 👏🏼
Come on! Thanks for the comment!!!
How much honey is made after tallow?
Not much. We’re gone after tallow doing melon pollination!
What kind of boots are you wearing in this video?
Thorogood
How would I get some of the leather gloves you use?
M&d supply!
M&d supply!
Hi Jake, this has been such a great video! I'm trying to build the first fully industrial honey processing farm in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and sort of learning as I go but it has been hard. Could you please provide me: 1. the production plant floor planning 2. how many hectares/space was used for the 100K lbs production? 3. prior to filtering, you didn't use knives for removal, im assuming because your machine is high technology so the filtering is so fast there's no need? Great videos!
I have no idea what a hectare is lol... We don't filter any of our honey. The uncapper has hot knives built into it to remove wax cappings.
@@beefarmerjake hectare of land I meant. I’m trying to figure out the spacing of your hives. Ok thank you for clarifying the cappings! I appreciate it
Great video i am learning a lot. What kind of bee do you suggest to git for Texas.
Not sure what you mean. What type of queens maybe? They all have pros/cons.
The guy in jeans is crazy
Half of us usually wear jackets. It’s not too bad!
Why not just run all deeps?
Mediums go on before the flow hits. Deeps go on after that. Just preference.
Jake, the video quality is 👌 What are you using to record?
These days my iPhone (not the selfie camera) and a DJI microphone! 😅
So many squished bees.
Where?
man im gay as shit
What is the #1 mistake you see new bee keepers make when they are first starting out?
Not monitoring varroa load for various reasons.
Great video. Curious about your feed rig…Is it air or mechanical?
Air!
Love the videos Jake. We are over in Grapeland. Someday I would love to help a couple days We run 30-50 hives depending on Going to start growing trying to get up to 2-400 for pollination maybe. Thx for being exceptional.
Thank you!
How do you stop bees from backfilling brood chamber and put the nectar in a super? All of my hives are back filling.
Can’t stop them from doing what they do, but we go around pretty quick and add more space for them to work.
Thx for your video. Greetz from germany..
Thanks for watching!
How old are your cells when you introduce them? Thanks for the video man!! Someday I hope to get as big as you are !!
They hatch the day we put them in! Thanks for watching!
Love your channel, I'm just starting a small side operation in East Kentucky. Wanting to see how many hives I can run with no employees. Just trying to get to 100 for a start. Great to see what it's like in the big leagues. One Question, why are commercial beekeepers winter losses so damn high?!?! Not just you, but like you said 40% across the board. Is it just because you don't throw good time after weak colonies to try and fix them? Or is disease load higher because of number of colonies in a small area? Thanks for the videos, I'll be hanging around.
Many beekeepers don’t stay on top of mite load in the fall. My winter losses were actually quite low 6-8%. I include cell take in my losses so that adds 10-12% loss every year.
Thanks for sharing. Lots to learn here.
Thanks for watching!
I like the look of your bee suit. What brand is it and do you like it? Thanks
It’s a Dadant partial vent! I love it! I’ve been using these for 4-5 years.
How many splits do you do a season?
We split everything every spring!
I have around 100 colonies. I mostly sell queens and Nucs. Please keep sharing the tactical strategies for managing those huge numbers!
jake, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for making and posting them. Have yall ever done this stack method and then introduced mated queens instead of cells? I was wondering about trying it in some outyards where I dont have the drone saturation of the home area....
Thank you for watching! I personally haven’t, but I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work.
Thanks for the great info. I'm a commercial beekeeper in CA and I'm going to try your method for splits. How long do you leave the bees stacked 7 high? Do you wait till the evening to move your splits to the new location?
Nice! Yes say we split them and stacked them on a Monday, we would stack them down Tuesday evening/night, move to a new yard, and drop a cell the next day!
How do you keep your syrup from fermenting
A little sodium hypochlorate (bleach)
Please go into more depth too on splits … you mentioned dropping a cell.. do you do that instead of introducing a mated queen
Next video we’ll be putting some cells in
Can you talk about how you manage mites .. how you treat .. what you treat with and how often
