Wax Dipping Bee Hive Boxes
มุมมอง 774ปีที่แล้ว
I like to run it hot! It’s mostly microcrystalline wax so flash point is around 225.c -245.c After 10-15 minutes of cooking 4 coats of concrete paint is applied and within 30 minutes the boxes are completely dried!

Wax Dipping Bee Hive Woodware
มุมมอง 2.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
What is wax dipping? Wax dipping is a process where hot wax is heated to around 170.c and the wooden components of the hive (usually the base, lid and supers) are essentially ‘cooked’ for 10 to 15 minutes. The molten wax penetrates deep into woodware - up to 50mm in end grain - replacing the sap, air and moisture, which is boiled off. Beekeepers in Australia and New Zealand have been using this...

    🌸 my favourite honey is actually very rare and very dangerous to obtain Mad Honey from Nepal, they collect it from Himalayan cliffs, and depending on grade, quality and purity, this affects the price It’s currently more than elvish honey This unique honey is harvested from rhododendron flowers. It’s sort after due to the intoxicating levels you can get from purest grade, as it contains grayanotoxins. I just love unique flavour, not that sweet & you can’t have too much at a time 😊 My second favourite is more rare and cannot be bought off web, it’s near beautiful exotic beaches off island with its own rainforest. The particular beekeeper has crops of red hibiscus 🌺 and other beautiful exotic flowers His honey is so dark, looks black until you realise it’s just ruby red & smells heavenly, thick rich body and sweet to taste He sells only few at a time, first come first serve. Then it’s gone till next harvest 🥺 I do miss natural pure delicious honey from comb and unprocessed, really delicious 😋

    I have a hot wax dip tank and hot dip my wooden ware. I have found that when the hives are exposed to hot sunshine the wax bleeds through the paint causing the paint to rub off on anything that comes in contact with it. Food hygiene here have not yet flagged it here.

    Interesting. I keep bees in South Africa. When it comes to working African bees. We found harvesting in the late Afternoon best. If they get set off like you experienced they dont go on the rampage the whole day and have the night to calm down. The next day they will still be on high alert. Also we find smoking ALL the hives in the apairy well before starting and wait a bit to take effect, is very important. dont just smoke them one at a time like when you work Euro bees...As the other hives set each other off, as well as when squashing the green plants/weeds in the apairy when walking, that smell drives African bees crazy, when it's hot and humid. Masking that smell with smoke is very NB. We always have 2 smokers going in case one goes out (ideally everyone working has their own smoker) All the best.

    • @krisfricke5538
      @krisfricke5538 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comment! Yeah I was really skeptical about their insistence on opening hives in the morning but I know African bees are in general different in some ways than the bees I'm accustomed to so I'm not in a position to insist they're wrong, and after the first few fiascos I kind of had to concede to them on this point ;)

    Honey bees work for balance in the hive it makes sense that they would look for balance in food. I'll bet that the colonies that were stronger/healthier were the one that had the better balance also. Ty for your time, Blessed Days...

    @brucebennett5354 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent discussion. Bob’s insights are gold. Given Australian bees have no resistance to varroa it will require a major effort by queen breeders to supply the genetic material needed to requeen all our colonies. NSW has over 300,000 hives that will need mite resistant queens. And importing queens from overseas risks introducing viruses carried by the mites. The industry will also have to develop cost effective treatment practices that are effective in Australian environmental conditions. Bob’s insights are very welcome as the industry faces this challenge.
