How to UNCAP a full honey frame fast with a hot knife - Beekeeping 101

- 👉🏻 Beekeeping enthusiasts,
Our new video shows a closeup step by step instructional how to for young beekeepers where we show the beeswax decapping process we follow to clean the frames, remove the cappings, and prepare the frame for extraction in a centrifugal frame extractor.
There are many ways beekeepers choose to remove the cappings from their honey frames. None of them can be considered the best or the ultimate, nor can any other methods be considered flawed. It is a very individual matter. Some hobby beekeepers use a hot know, some a steam knife, others use only the decapping fork or a simple kitchen serrated knife. And those beekeepers operating in larger beekeeping farms and apiaries with 20 or more hives tend to have automated machines that have spinning rotary blades or spikes that as the frames pass through, remove the top beeswax cappings. Some things to consider when starting out, is the volume of frames you are going to be processing. That will definitely have an impact on how you choose to remove the cappings. Other considerations may include your opinion and thoughts on say a hot gun may have on the quality of honey you produce. Another consideration is what to do with the cappings? Do you want beeswax? The work it takes to clean it, melt it, filter it and process it? Many don't want the hassle and opt to scratch the cappings or use the heat gun.
As you get more familiar with your beehive and the honey frames you extract, you will find that the bees also produce varying shapes on the honey frame, and that too can be a problem and may alter your choice of beeswax decapping process you choose to try or adopt. In this video, we had a perfect frame, where the cappings were built outward by the bees and the cappings were ABOVE the actual timber frame. This makes it perfect for use of a hot knife, as the knife can be rested on the frames and simply slice off the wax cappings. Many frames however are not that way and the bees build them just below the full depth or height of the timber frames. In this scenario, a hot knife can do very little, and the only way to get the cappings off is to either scratch them or pull them off bit by bot using the decapping fork. This often leads to another debate we will cover in one of our future videos - should you use 10 frames or 9 frames in a full deep honey super? What are your thoughts? Leave us a comment below. Will the honey yield be higher or lower? Or the same? Will the hot knife cut through a much thicker overhang of honey comb? Will the running honey cool it too quickly slowing the whole process down? We are keen to hear your thoughts.
So as you can see, you will need to equip yourself with tools and skills to use them to accommodate several scenarios, each requiring a different method. Each honey frame will be different and may require use of two to three different styles even within the single honey frame.

+Liberty Ellis Aah alright, thank you :-D
luap Bumm uuuh...np
I have a fear of bees...
But these videos are so satisfying and make me want to be a bee keeper. 🐝
Have no fear Heyo. Just make sure you are not allergic to bee venom. A bee sting in that circumstance could be very dangerous to you. Other than that, you you may get a bee sting or two here and there, but your body typically builds immunity to bee venom over time, and for many, even swelling and pain become suppressed to a point where you cannot even notice. Visit your local beekeeping association or attend a short beekeeping day course first before diving in. That way, you will have a better idea if bee keeping is for you and most members of such apiarist clubs will assist with equipment hire and sourcing honey bees. Happy beekeeping!.

Hi Brianna. Beekeeping is a challenging hobby, but very rewarding. Not just for the fresh honey you can extract if you manage your bee colonies well, but you get to relax and work hard all at the same time. Certainly beekeeping will put you back in touch with nature. Hope you make it to the beekeeping side some day. Happy beekeeping! www.mahakobees.com/store.html

Mahako Bees that honey looks so good yum I'm hungry
He said that the knife isn't sharp
1:25 he cuts into the wood
I cut into wood with a spatula sometimes. It’s just the direction of the grain
I bet you that 529,824 of the views were just so they could be satisfied
Thank you for creating such in-depth videos. This was very helpful for my first time uncapping frames with a hot knife! The subsequent videos on how to clean the wax for use were very informative as well! The length of the video ad discussion was quite useful and adequate for people who are active following along.
1,000 degree glowing red knife v.s honey comb?
Attzero how about let it die
Watched this when it came out and came back to watch it again. It’s so satisfying!
Mom, my pants fell down, I swear.
Jacket that reference tho
Jacket ahha I remember that video when he was caught
;)
Jacket lmao
lmaooo
i wanna eat the roll of wax
How?
What's wrong with you
😂😂
I know! I really want to eat it xD
I wanna chew it to get the taste
I've just started bee keeping and your videos really help!
I have never been so satisfied watching a video, nor have I ever procrastinated this hard.
Hey, extremely satisfying video, the Czech music helped it too :'D
the czech music sounds exactly like Colombian *south america* folk music joropo
thanks for the video! I am in my first year beekeeping and i recently setup my vlog on youtube to document my journey! I really look forward to the end of the season to see if i'll be able to harvest a whole bunch so your video was useful for me preparing , thanks a ton!
Great video and great music. Thanks for including them in your description!
That was so satisfying to waych! I gotta appreciate you guys and the bees that make us our honey!
The capped frosted white comb looks beautiful. I feel fascinated when i see it up close.
Caramelizing all that good honey T_T
calm down one punch man
you think im anything else than calmed down after watching all these honey unframing videos?
Saitama browsing through the internet
Vincent Nguyen
Yes...
Your craving for honey .3.
That as well, yup
Who needs satisfaction compilations when you've got these!
Just here for the satisfying feeling
Gorgeous!
that looks SO GOOD
Dobrá hudba v pozadí XD
Mesmerizing ❤️ Can’t stop watching
Oh, such lovely golden goodness...I love bees, cute little fuzzy things.
I don't know why,but I find it satisfying whenever they cut honey combs...Am I the only one?
Definitely not GG GirlyTDM. Harvesting honey and particularly when uncapping the beeswax is when you get to taste and smell the amazingly fresh honey. Each frame is often different, depending on what flowers were in bloom during the bees honey and pollen gathering. Here is more information about honey if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/nibxGfeNlQM/w-d-xo.html
satisfying
This is really cool and I love honey!
that looked incredibly satisfying
Finally, someone who uncaps slowly and neatly enough that it's awesome to watch. Nice job!
This looks awesome
So satisfying 😍
i could go for some comb honey right about now...
That honey looks soooo good
That is correct . There are several methods to remove beeswax cappings . But a hot knife will eat too much from your honey that you need . Simple methods to remove capping always were recommended .
why do i luv watching these videos : )
Looks fookin delicious!
Did you have fun? That looks like fun! ^ ^
+Berylvia Most definitely Berylvia. There is something very satisfying about honey extraction. And off course the children love to get involved for the obvious reward - fresh raw honey. Happy Beekeeping! www.mahakobees.com
+Mahako Bees (MAHAKOBEES) do you ever get hungary while doing this
Andrew Lewis Yes. That is manageable, however when the kids get involved, that is another story all together. But the #HONEY does keep them quiet for a while. Messy though.
This is as satisfying as it gets
omg! I just watched an oddly satisfying video with honey getting and then I thought it was satisfying and then I searched it up and I found you! You were in th vid!
Sorry about this cringey comment lol.
This is very satisfying. Nice video
when he first cut off the the comb with the hot knife it was SOOO satisfying!!
I don’t like how the hot knives affect the flavor of the honey. Also extremely satisfying.
I got so extremely satisfied from this
Most satisfying vid EVER!!!
Amazing ASMR
So satisfying cutting the wax with the heated knife
this is EXTREMELY satisfying...
I just had an eyegasm.
I was feeling tingles all over my body so satisfying .

This is so satisfying. My senses are true....
Satisfying
:)
So satisfying. xD
Thankyou!
I'm just here because it looks very satisfying
Is it just me or is it even more satisfying if they do it with a plain wooden spoon?
"Not a sharp knife, like it couldn't even cut a tomato" proceeds to shave a big chunk of wood off the frame with said knife. lol
it's so satisfying watching this
Omg so satisfying
2:28 - 3:15 3:30 - 3:37 yasss it's so satisfying to watch and listen to These bee videos
bees are dying at an alarming rate
wallop the honey bee we know today is not native to the U.S. Yes there was an incident around 2006 of them dying off but the population has more than rebounded since. More hysteria than fact
Afracanized honey bees are the biggest threat
HI Guys I have been watching your video . I wanted to give a little tip I found last year on uncapping the honey frames get a cheap heat gun from Harbor Freight to open the caps there is all most no mess open ever cap. It’s very fast doesn’t damage the comb as bad try it one time I think you will be hooked like I was . Thanks you for all your great videos I have enjoyed them a lot.

jerry archer Hi Jerry. Thank you for staying in touch. Yes we are also aware of this method, and have tested it many times. So much so in fact, that we have a 2 part video discussing the pros and cons, and compare the outcome in detail. Take a look and let us know your thoughts: PART 1 - th-cam.com/video/f1WrHtghmJ8/w-d-xo.html
