- 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!

I’m telling you man you have the coolest intros!! You really need a whole video just on them intros!
Hahah thank you!
Great video Jake and happy extracting time!
Thanks!
Whats easiest route from 100 hives to 300 equipment wise..I've got the bees just not the equipment. You reach a point where you're only limited by equipment..trucks,skidsteer or forklift etc..I have access to actual honey house,skidsteer with forks,land...just not equipment to expand fast..6,000 hives,wow!!! That's a ton of work ! Awesome 👌
The bees are the easy part of growing really. Keep your eyes peeled for used equipment out there. Luckily we’re running just over 3000 right now and the other 3000 are lease bees. Equipment growth was way easier 5 years ago. The last hummerbee we bought was 40,000. Now I’m looking at 65,000. Boxes, lumber, it’s all gone crazy high.
Enjoyed the video. Unfortunately I won't be at the Summer Clinic. I will miss seeing you this time. I will catch up with you another time.
Bummer! Next time…
YOUR BACK!!...... was missing my morning coffee with Jake. glad alls going well for ya'll
Thanks for watching!!
I’ll be there. Hope to see you!
Awesome! See you there!
Jake, do ya'll mix your own sugar syrup or buy it bulk premixed? I'm trying to find sugar syrup in NCentral Texas without much luck.
We do both. Depends on if you want fructose or sucrose. We just ended up ordering a few pallets of sugar from sams recently. Mann Lake couldn't do much better on price.
@@beefarmerjake Thanks.
What style of 5.11 pants did you purchase ? Thank you!!
The ones I’m wearing here are the Taclite Pro! I had to look it up lol…
@@beefarmerjake Thank you!! Stay safe and keep the videos going!!
Just found your channel, nice operation you've got there. What part of Texas you from I'm about 2 hrs west of Dallas, now I have to watch all your vids.
We're in Southeast Texas!
What do you recommend for mite treatment in 100F weather? Especially for a newbie who doesn't have the resources like a vaporizer or gas masks?
Oxalic acid is great this time of year. We do Swedish dish sponges soaked in OA and Glycerin. Check out scientificbeekeeping.com
Good stuff. Would like to see how you set up a hive. How many hives do you set up with ALL them deeps outside Thanks
The deeps in the warehouse will be going on after the North Dakota honey is pulled. Everything will be a double deep from fall to almonds. I’m sure I’ll make a video about that.
Hang in there Jake, it's almost the dearth
Almost!!
Do you keep a deep feeder under the excluder or is it above the excluder?
Always in the brood nest. Box on top is a super.
It has been hot for sure. However, the news shows we have more of these heat advisory's coming. It's Texas summer already!
Absolutely. I definitely prefer hot over cold. 100 degrees makes me move slowww though haha
Hurts my back watching you pull out the frames at eye level.
Sure beats bending over working a single lol
Jake. Where did you purchase the big metal box
I just searched “large ammo can” on Amazon lol. I love ammo cans if you can’t tell
Szia!
Hun fordítást valahogy megoldható lenne??
Érdekesek a videók, sokat tanulhatok belőle .
Kapcsold be az automatikus fordítású feliratozást.
Super random but you wouldn’t happen to be related to Andrew Moore from umatilla Florida right lol? He’s a very large commercial guy right in my area.
Not that I’m aware of haha!
