I love honey, but what I don't love about it is that it crystalizes, and all too often just weeks after harvesting it. Over the years, I have employed many different methods and techniques to bring crystalized honey back to its liquid state. Now, after all those years, I have discovered the simplest way of performing this tedious task, and doing it in big fashion.
Not only do I show how I bring the honey back to its liquid state, but then how I move it from the drum to the bottler is a very efficient way, I use a rotary lobe pump. Why this type of pump? It does not aerate the honey causing it to foam.
I realize this is a rather lengthy video, but because I discuss methods and equipment, I thought it relevant to comment on many issues, I hope you will agree. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed
The absolute best way to deal with crystalized honey is to spread it on hot toast. It might take a while to get through 55 gallons though :)
There was a time, before TH-cam, before honey houses, before stainless equipment, before lobe pumps, there was a time, you were just like one of us. Now look at you.....big time...
I am a Beekeeper here in Michigan. I love crystalized honey. I keep most of my crystalized honey for myself. To me it just tastes better that way.
There should be millions of views on these videos. This was great. Makes me want to be a bee keeper 😄
The funny thing is I LOVE crystalized honey. I even make my own by adding crystalized honey seeds to uncrystalized honey to make more. It's delicious.
I prefer crystalized honey. At least 50/50. I once tried to google the topic, to know how and why it happens and how to maybe help it happening when honey is completely liquid, but all I found was articles and videos dealing with fixing the "issue" LOL. It's not an issue, it's delicious!
During the Covid lockdown, my wife and I found ourselves with an abundance of extra time on our hands. We discovered your channel on TH-cam and have enjoyed watching your hive removals and also appreciate the behind the scenes explanations like this one. My friends all laugh when I tell them about how interesting we've found these beekeeping videos and you've been a Godsend for helping to fill many hours of idle time. Merry Christmas to you, your Mom, Wreck it Ralph, Good Time Charlie and, yes, even the Dirt Rooster. Thanks for creating, keep on creating, and we'll be waiting for more!
When you said you had 55 gallon barrels of completely crystallized honey my first thought was, "Oh no!" I couldn't imagine how to get it out without scraping it out. Then you explained everything. Wow! Necessity really is the mother of invention. This is so awesome. My husband was very interested in the pump and said that he was impressed with it. He liked the fact that you could open it up and look inside. I find this aspect of the honey business so fascinating. Thank you for sharing and taking us behind the scenes. Merry Christmas to you and your family! May angels attend you all.
Very cool Jeff. I'm glad you found a solution to your crystalized problem. I too want to buy only American made products, but they are so hard to find.
Hey Jeff to avoid the plastic drum from slipping out of the clamp, once the drum is a few inches off the floor, use a chain attached with an "S" hook to the side of the clamp, wrap it under the drum and back up to the other side of the clamp with another "s" hook. This will cradle the drum from tje bottom and prevent it from slipping down
You give me great ideas. I like the fact that the blanket will not overheat the honey. Thanks for keeping it interesting. Always learning. Thanks Mr Ed.
As a backyard beekeeper with 4 flow hives I love videos like this so I can see what the big boys do. Merry Xmas and much appreciation
I love any videos that deal with processing the honey. Keep up the good work!
Not a judgment, just making a comment. Thanks for the awesome video!
Sadly, I wish the American and European companies responded to you, even if they can't do the job. Yes, I appreciate your commitment to buy American first. As I understand it, China graduates 10X more engineers than the US each year, and the US graduates 10X more lawyers than China each year.
Another Friday and another amazing video. You are an amazing teacher. I hear the phrase a lot around my house, “are you watching Mr. Ed again?”
Look good Jeff!..its a real shame no US companies got back to you. I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Safe and Healthy New Year! Take care my friend.👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations on purchasing the new pump although I am disappointed in the US companies ignoring your enquiries, home sales are the backbone of any country's economy and I support homegrown UK industry wherever I can, I hear regularly that Chinese companies are really bad in QA and customer service but like yourself, I have experienced the exact opposite and with multiple Chinese companies. One Chinese company (Creality 3D) even sent out free face masks at the start of the pandemic to its customers even though it had been six months since I made my purchase of a 3d printer with them.
I remember this qizmo in another video you made. Alot of your newer subs make you compelled to re-visit some topics.
It probably would have liquified in only two days if you hadn’t been taking the blanket off for the dogs to sleep on at night.
