- Harvesting 90 pounds of honey. This honey is raw honey, delicious, straight from the hive, homestead honey. I use standard medium Langstroth hives. No queen excluders. This was a smaller harvest and I hope to get the rest of it in a few weeks.
“It’s gonna look violent but it’s fine”, *proceeds to see 60 bees fly out the other side at Mach 3*
I couldn’t stop laughing!
Ya, no shit Mach 3 or warp factor 6
meme material im telling you
i didnt get your comment until i saw the part that was so funny
Same, could not stop laughing🤣
If tornado blasted me out of my bed and propelled me, clean outta my house, I don't think I would call that NOT violent!!!! lol
Great book for a beginner . th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
Your dedication to the life of ONE honeybee amongst likely hundreds of thousands is commendable.
that part
Yea, seriously, dude has heart ❤️
Also an opportunity for all of us to know better what to do if we ever find a sticky bee, this one moment will teach how many?
AND he included that he botched the colander attempt, honesty and integrity. You set the bar high, beekeeper 😊
Yes they're tasty

I enjoy how honest and straightforward you are about the whole process, even about being stung or the colander falling in the bucket. 😄
@@NubsWithGuns stung at least 10 times a week it just happens
Bees are just so beautiful, sweet, cute, cuddly, & adorable
@@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692 so i agree but how do you cuddle a bee lol
Beautiful honey 🍯
That was just a metal kitchen strainer that was not a colander
Its always amazed me just how confident beekeepers are with handling their bees.
Wearing a full suit but no gloves. Shows he really knows what hes doing and trusts the bees.
Well, bees are attracted to the carbon dioxide released through the respiration, so they always attack the head of the "predator" first, the airways like mouth and nose, not the hands (or paws).
Nah, it's just preference. Here in Germany you have all: Bee keepers using no protection at all all or bee keepers who suit up like they are going to an ABC-war. I always use suit and gloves and I think this season I am still without being stung.
It’s not always the case, but it seems like those who don’t use as much protection are a bit more in tune with their bees. They seem to be able to read the bees, understand them instinctively. They move more slowly, think about how will the bees feel.
Honeybees don't sting....
@@kauciontheboss Yes they do. Honey bees can definitely sting. Why else would beekeepers wear bee suits… They’re unlikely to attack, (unlike wasps), but if you get one between your clothes, it will sting you! And the colony will go on the offence if it thinks you’re a threat to the hive.
No clue why I’ve been binge watching bee videos, it’s almost 4 AM
I’ve enjoyed every second
No sleep, only bees.
Its sooo FASINATING!!!!
same!!!
that’s both really funny and really great that you’re fascinated by it. :) 🐝🐝🌺🌼
we have all done that my friend
Man when he said using the blower was gonna look alittle violent I didn’t know he meant bees were gonna start snot rocketing out of the box 💀
In my country, politicians do all kinds of stupid things, it makes you angry, but nothing has angered me more than our government's attempt to destroy beekeeping. I'm incredibly irritated when it comes to bees, I don't know why. I'm not a beekeeper, I don't eat honey often, but when someone wants to eliminate bees and beekeepers, it can make me very angry.
From a retired beekeeper from the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia, Canada who raised my family with 157 colonies. I enjoyed your operation and this video. Thanks for sharing Walt
I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians.
And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3
Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image.
I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people?
I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true.
Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully.
My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is peace and hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change.
If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up.
You are my friends. The Lord loves you and is aware of you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent.
Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly in Spiritual and physical things. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side.
It simply would not be the same without you. That's just how much the Lord need you on His side.
Thank you for your time.

me beekeeping since 1959, and still going strong
This is my first honey harvest, so thank you for explaining it & thank you to your viewers who sit through this for us newbs ❤ 🐝🥰
If someone told me I'd sit for over 20 minutes to see how honey is harvested, (especially since I'm diabetic) I'd have told them they were crazy, but I did, and it was interesting. Good presentation, and a knowledgeable host that kept my interest. Kudos. No preservatives or heating heating is amazing. Does it eventually ferment?
No, it will not ferment unless the water content is too high. It will last literally forever.
@falllineridge yeah, there was honeybfound in the ancient pyramids and it's still editable after 3000 years
@@falllineridge what’s the name of that green Jeep?
??? Honey affects diabetic people?? I didnt know that, maybe ur thinking of some supermarket shit stuffed with sugar
@@7Kazi7honey and sugar are basically the same thing. The only difference is that in honey, the fructose and glucose are separated, while in sugar, they’re bound together into sucrose.
While raw honey doesn’t have added sugars, diabetics should still be cautious as it will make their blood sugar spike.
Thank you so much for making this treasure video! My 3 year old son is so excited he watched the whole video and has decided he wants pet bees and to have his own honey farm. We’re so inspired, I love the care you take with your bees by cleaning them off when the one was stuck and burning pine needles instead of harsh chenilles. We’re now subscribed and look forward to more videos!!!
I'd 'upgrade' your extractor by making up some sort of adapter with a hex shank so you could drive it with any electric drill :)
My grand father was honey maker too,he used to take me out with him to gather the boxes and then extract them,he had a machine similar like yours but the compartments were spread out more,he also built a electric motor out of a well engine,man this bring back memories thank you for the video keep it up,i know how tough the job is
Thanks for making this video. The general public know how things are done. My son and and I enjoy watching and learning about everyday things.
Great video. Towards the end when you cleaned off and helped a bee that was stuck in the honey was awesome! When I saw you do that I liked and subscribed to you channel. A man's character is shown in how he treats animals and children!!
I was about to post the same thing. at 15:11 he helped the bee get free! lol
Right after pillaging all their food they accumulated lmao
@C. Saragian Animals don't really matter, but agreed a man who treats children and innocent people with respect and honor is very admirable.
@@alpinian7144 good beekeepers don't extract all honey from the hives, maybe ⅓ or half. Just think like it's a rent payment 😂
Totally agree dude
Wes, really enjoy watching you work with the Bees. Due to medical condition I can’t enjoy honey as often as I like, but as you stated biscuit’s and honey is a real treat.
You can eat maybe 1 tsp a day mix drink, yoghurt or etc not more than that or 1tsb 3 days up to ya.
I'm so glad you included the draining/straining of the caps, that was surprisingly satisfying!
Love that you saved the singluar bee in the honey.
Thank you SO much for this wonderful video. I have a fairly decent garden and just love honeybees---they love purple-colored flowers. So nice to see someone work with bees and share the work.
This was wonderful--thank you so much! Very informative. Homeschoolers here and we're exploring bees this week. (And your audio was excellent.) Thanks again!
Tell your friends subscriber May channel bees and the channel bees
Thank you for adding captions. I love considerate channels with awesome content.
Thank you for the slow motion capture of the honey slinging out of the cells! That was fascinating to watch after you explained why it works.
Wonderful thank you for sharing this video
My husband's stepfather was a beekeeper on a much smaller scale and I used to get free honey. Thank you for keeping up this tradition
I loved watching you with your beehives and the extraction process. I kept bees some years ago and averaged about 12 gallons of honey per year - which I usually ended up giving to my fellow church members at no charge !!
Unfortunately, moths got into my hives and regrettably killed off my bees !! I never did continue, but had sufficient honey that we consumed over the following years. Thank you, Lord !! 💓
Great video, nice to see you get nicer equipment. In my experience the 80% rule for closed cells is good, but sometimes bees just wont close them. Its good to check moisture content with refractometer. Its cheap and portable and you see whats going on instantly. Just did extracting last weekend. After good winter and all colonies making it trough, it was the best yield in years for me. I would say it was 40% closed at average but moisture was low so did the extracting to free up space for bees to continue producing. I am using B10 frame format so it isn't as easy to add more boxes as it is in your case. I am looking forward to late season extracting. Keep up doing good work. 👍
Your videos are actually so fun and educational ! I never finish watching videos because they are ussually so boring. But yours are on a different level :)
This is the definition of: "it ain't much but it's honest work" and I love it
Thanks for sharing! I never get tired of watching your honey harvest videos; looks like you're getting your money's worth from the 4 frame extractor now that you have more hives :) Those sounds at 12:30 of the bees hitting the camera/mic (?) are so cute and funny XD
By far this is the most educational video about bees and honey. I love bees and I love a step-by-step process.
I would've gotten the manual spinner as well. Great job on this!!
I had a landlord once who kept bees. He kept a lot of his equipment on his screened in back porch.
On the odd occasion I happened to be there, I was aware of the amazing fragrance that space
had. I’d love to smell it again, it made quite the impression on me.
my grandfather about 50 years ago showed me how to do this and the process itself hasn't changed much, this certainly brings back some good memories
Like you said, it’s a drop in the bucket, but I love that you pick up the stray bees 🥺. Your video made me realize I love watching honey harvesting videos lol
I am learning so much today! I just found your channel and so happy i did. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, subscribed.
I love videos like this😌😌😌 so satisfying to watch and listen to you explaining to us how it’s done and how it works keep up the great work💙
Are you losing weight? You look younger today 😉👍💕
You saved that bee's life ✨️ God is so awesome - honey - another miracle God has blessed us with!! 🙌 Great video, as always!! I actually yelled out, Nooo, when you said it was the end of the video!! God bless you and your family 💕
The fact you took the time to clean that bee says alot about your character.
I did a couple more but they stung me. No good deed.
I just subscribed to your channel. This video is quite possibly the most interesting video I have seen in a long time. You explain everything so well.
I love that you got the shot of the honey coming out of the cell in the extractor! Nicely done and informative video
The way you taking care of that single bee. " Fly dude, see you for the next harvest" 😊
WOW Nice video. I just got 2 nucs this year and I'm getting started with bee keeping. Even though I'm still kind of scared of bees but this video gave me a lot of courage and very helpful tip . I think I'll be ready next year to harvest my own honey from my own farm.
TYVM. Very, clean and easy video. You've earned a new subscriber today. Keep it on.
Cool! Thanks!
9:58 that is an incredible slow motion video of this process. Very glad you added that
Took me back to time spent with my Grampa… a well-known Michigan bee-keeper. Thanks!
That is one thing that is really special about bee keepers and their bees. They don't force their bees to change things, they say "if you do that then I guess I'll work around it and still make it work" it really is a partnership
Gotta work with them, not against them.
I love your bee videos soo much!!!! Please do more of them!!, I really hope they do good for your channel cause I love watching them, very informative awesome video brother
I really enjoyed watching how it's done. I love honey, especially the good stuff just like yours. Again my appreciation for a well done presentation.
You're so sweet, nice of you to save that bee. This is what I call a symbiotic relationship. I liked and subscribed❤!
I really love that you took the bee out of the honey and washed her off and helped her live another day. Had to like and subscribe for that alone. Good man.
Your MIC sounds beautiful nice and clear no feedback. Ohhh yeah great video as always
I Really Enjoyed Watching😊My Dad Messed With Bees Years Ago Briefly But Never Don’t Think To Getting Any Honey,There’s Nothing Like Fresh Honey On A Biscuit,Muffin,Bagel,Waffle,Etc;God Bless The Bee Keepers All Over The World For Doing + Showing Us This Amazing Craft😊Thanks For Sharing USA❤
This was so soothing to watch. Thank you for explaining your process too
Nice video. I love honey as a sweetener in my coffee. My pet praying mantids loved it as a treat too once a week. I've never seen someone harvest it on a small scale like that before. That was very cool.
3:48 " It does look a bit voilent but it does not hurt the bees"
3:52 500 bees RIP 🤣🤣🤣
Bees be like " Its him again. Run for your life"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was great. I and my 3 year old really enjoyed watching your video. Thank you!
Cool! Love to hear that your 3 year old is enjoying the channel! Please tell your 3 year old hello for me.
Thank you very much. You are amazing. I love how you care and enjoy that process.
I was watching that handle and screaming "It's gonna fall into the bucket!" These videos are so awesome, My 11 year old son and I watch them together, thanks for the great content!!
You are doing great things there. Definitely headed in the right direction 👍👍
Love how you saved that little bee that fell into the honey 💜
@Lacey He didn't really need to do that, not worth the risk of a sting lol. Just toss it and move on. But agreed that is some quality honey 👍
@Hello Boyz These bees do not make his life at all lol. I'm sure beekeeping is a very small part of his life, like a hobby. He probably makes more income from the ads on these videos than selling the actual honey. It's life is not worth getting stung over.
@@AdamJensen_ if the ads come from revenue on his beekeeping content.. and that's his main source of income (i have no idea if that's true or not, just hypothetically) than yeah, they ARE his living. also why are you so pressed that someone might find him rescuing a bee thats able to be rescued bad? tons of bees die that he can't prevent, but a bee in the honey has to be taken out regardless. if its still alive why not save it if you can, if all it takes is a few moments. he's risking stings like all day what's one more chance
This video was sooooo awesome, thank you for the information and showing us. I am obsessed with Bee’s 🐝 and honey 🍯.
Probably the best video on honey extraction. Well done my friend!
Bees are so so cute my second favorite animal I think I studied them when I was 15 at Christmas years ago their dances and life style and anatomy and the stuff they produce . It’s awesome I was always destined to be with my boyfriend but back then I thought I’d wanna work with bees one day haha
Great job showing the process. Man, you already extracted that much in May? That's awesome! Usually end of June/Early July here.
That’s a good life your living there….subscribed for your honesty with the whole process. Amazing stuff you’ve got going up there. Keep it up….
I used to do this for my grandad when i was 6 and now im 64 really enjoyed your video
great video!
just wondering...how do you determine how much honey to take from a hive and how much to leave for your bees?
Another great extraction. It must be a rewarding experience every Spring to see what's been going on with your bee friends.
I'm curious, is it satisfying slicing the cappings off? It looks like it would be lol. Also, do the bees fill up certain boxes in particular first or go in certain order, bottom to top or top to bottom for example? I notice you tend to check the middle/lower boxes primarily for honey. Congrats on the new equipment!
They start in the top box and work their way down. It's satisfying when the entire frame can be done in one slice.
@@falllineridge Same with us watching mate. Very satisfying if done in one slice.
This was very interesting & informative! Thanks for posting!!
Stumbled across your you tube channel what a very clever process, I find it therapeutic to. Thanks for sharing now to watch to the end ..
Seeing that honey pour into the filters, true liquid gold 🤤
Nice use of the blower, would never have thought of using one due to potentially harming the bees.
I was waiting for the cullender to fall, I could see it happening.
We congratulate you, you are introducing us to the village and country life in a pure and clear way, with a nice level of sincerity.thank you
Wow, when you cut away the caps, all of that honey, just cut a nice piece off and - yum! 🤤 That was very informative, thanks for posting!
When you do your capping use a potato masher and gently squeeze the rest of your honey out let us know how that works thanks and love all your videos
I am also interested to see how you separate the valuable bees' wax.
You have a very soothing voice that makes me fall fast asleep.
Very informative AND entertaining. I'd like to get in to bee keeping. and maybe will. Nice videos. Sawdust Bob.
Buy a refractometer. You likely could have harvested a lot more of it. Cappings make no difference. As long as your water content is below 18, ideally 16-17%. When mixed with dryer honey it balances out.
I have 2 questions, how much do you lose after cutting the cells open and honey just oozing out into the bucket of waste? And how do you make sure the bees have food for the winter? do you leave cells filled or can they feed all year long?
He cuts the cappings and filters them too.
He only extract 2 boxes from 4 box, probably it will last through winter
I just wanted a 22 min video of harvesting honey and i have to say good job on keeping me entertained.
Enjoyed your video, also liked all the wildlife sounds in the background.
I really want to get my own bee hive😮😁
Do it.
What would be the expected profit from a good overall harvest?
I love being able to see the whole process! Thank you
Absolutely gorgeous. Honey is an amazing product. I've been taking fresh Royal Jelly for the past 25 years. It helps with my headaches
Several of the below comments inspired this question: Would it be of (enough) value to have a hot water bath nearby to lower the viscosity of the honey in the cappings, etc. to get more goodness flowing?
That's an interesting idea. My fear would be drying the cappings first. If too much water gets into the honey it will ferment and be ruined. Maybe some kind of a solar hot box to put the boxes in to get the temperature up a few degrees. The honey is actually pretty warm right off the hive.
@@falllineridge AHhh, When I said bath, I meant like a large tub with a pan floating inside it but with the honey protected.
@@falllineridge Christie had an alternate idea. Have a forced air quartz heater blowing on the machines.
Don't want to warm honey too much, not good for it
@@williamkn621 Did I say to but in an oven?
no hate btw but are u not wasting some honey when i take that wax stuff of????But Great Vid

Wow, very interesting. thank you for sharing your experience
I love bees and i love honey 🍯 Great video and your honey looks so delicious one of the best I've seen. Thank you.😃
i like how a lot of beekeeping is "well the bees probably know best" :)
no fancy tech needed to figure out when the honey is done for example, the bees just cap it when they think so and that's good enough for us.
I like the fact that you value every single bee.
Enjoyed you story, amazing! What a beautiful honey!
What an awesome video. Any day i get to learn something is a great day. Keep up the good work.
