Honey is always a treat, and I didn’t know different times of the year the honey tastes different 🐝. Also love the Jeep... looks like a retired forestry vehicle
had me laughing with the "little" amount of honey you put on your buns! adorable lad at the end again edit: also the comparisson at the end is great. you never really see them that clearly side by side
I have always loved the Spring. Everything so fresh and new, looks like Honey is the same. Thank you for showing your harvest. Has always I liked and shared. All my best to you and yours.
This is amazing and inspiring. I want to get into this. Btw your kitchen floors are absolutely gorgeous. I also really enjoyed the three batch comparisons, very interesting.
Thanks for the video. I just started beekeeping. Can’t wait to have some different batches to compare. Cutting the capping off the comb was so relaxing to watch. Even the sound was nice. Well done.
When I first saw this I thought, "What does one do with 125 pounds of honey?". ...Then I watched 14:50 and everything is fully understood!!! Great video as always. Thank you. :-)
Honey makes a fantastic, healthier, replacement for sugar when baking also. The refined white sugar used by everyone pretty much, is not a healthy product, go for demerara sugar which a a dark brown and you have something healthier. Honey is a very healthy natural sweetener.
My brother has been wanting bees and as a birthday gift my nana gave him a new colony and enough supplies for two boxes. This video makes me feel hungry.
Now I'm curious what some honey produced by a hive near arbutus trees would taste like. The arbutus tree is local for my area and is a flowering fruit tree that is known to attract bees. If you have dry, sandy soil in an exposed area you might have the conditions to grow them, if you can source seedlings or saplings. They do make a very nice finishing detail hardwood ( a brittle hardwood so not good for structural use ) but are not a widespread species of tree so unlikely to ever find it available.
Aw man I was cussing you out at the end with my mouth watering, then your baby came on & made me laugh so I felt bad lol, enjoy it and I will envy you. Nice harvest.
I knew before this video ended that your wife was gonna have a plate of biskits. Y'all sure know how to tempt an old man. lol. Cute little kid, I'll bet he likes it too.
My favorite honey is chestnut honey ! In France there is a small department called Ardèche, where i found probably the best chestnut honey in Europe, produced by small artisans like you. I don't know anything about american honey, of course i'm from center of france ! Here the chesnut honey is litteraly black . With a super powerful taste, perfect with a slice of rye bread !!
Is that just a bread knife you are using for uncapping? Where did you get it if you don’t mind me asking. I don’t think I’m to far from you either, we have had a pretty poor nectar flow so far, praying things will finish strong
A man of your talents and you're using a wobbly folding table for your extractor? I'd have thought that you would have made a sturdy wooden stand to secure it while you are spinning. Also, isn't it a 4 frame extractor?
This is so great, we enjoyed watching you, We too, last week we picked about a ton of delicious and natural honey from the Croatian mountains, around our house, we made a video about it and posted on our channel, another harvest will be in a month
Cool stuff! We grew up next door to an old retired plumber from Oklahoma back in the 70’s as a young boy that had 7 or 8 hives going always. Once I put on the suit to help rob the bees as he put it the video sound took me back. Thanks for that I did once only because the sound was so intense my brother help all the time. His pay was 1 quart some of the best breakfast I remember had fresh honey all over our toast/biscuits. Store bought honey has an after taste compared to fresh honey. Is there anyway to buy a quart from you?
Good job on the comb honey that is my absolute favorite. I think it tastes better. I don't know why, maybe because extractor honey is whipped? That's why I want to taste Flow Hive honey to see if it is more like comb honey in the taste department.
Darkness of the honey has more to do with the flowers the bees pollinate at the time of the year. Buckwheat honey is way darker than clover honey. Some fruit flower honey is lighter.
HI! Question for you. What is the white bucket you use to fill up your jars? The one with the opening you push to the side? Is that easy to transfer from a 5 gallon bucket that's been through the strainer or is it going from the extractor then through the strainer and into the same container? Thanks for the great videos! I am a new bee keeper and trying to learn about equipment I should acquire for honey extraction. I just have 2 hives and keeping it economical. That container makes it look pretty easy to pour into jars.
It's a honey bucket. The spout is called a honey gate. I got it off of Amazon. You can both store the honey in there and also use it to fill jars. I would encourage you to spend the money to get one. It's a nightmare filling jars without one.
I have always been with the understanding that we should not feed honey to small children. Right ,wrong, maybe I really don't know for sure. That's just what I was told years ago.
I think the rule of thumb is 1 year old and younger it's best to avoid it. He's past 1 now, and has had it before, so he should be good. Although the biscuit he ate in the video was dry.
Why don't you use Queen excluders to prevent brood in the upper boxes? I always used them on top of the brood box, the bottom box . My honey extraction was much cleaner.
@@falllineridge no I didn't , if there was any difference it was miniscule. I wouldn't run a hive without one, it keeps all the brood in the brood box where it belongs. I didn't have to look for new queen cells all through the hive and it was easier to track the health of the hive.
Hello, my name is Ayhan, I'm from Turkey. I was wondering what breed is your bees and what kind of flowerd they were mskşng the honey. Thanks for the vid, btw!
Hi . Your doing an amazing job with the honey 🍯. It must be very tasty mate. May I ask where do you sell the honey that you get I would like to buy some😁. Thanks
the last video's i saw of bees was one removal an relocation an one where a guy had to euthanize one of his hives cause the bees were crazy aggressive for no reason he even removed an killed the queen but after a few days they were still to aggressive so he had no choice but to euthanize the hive as it was causing issues for neighbors an he could not even properly harvest the hive with multiple layers of protection
Surprised that you only got 125 lbs out of 9 supers, you are only averaging around 1.5 lb per frame. I'm wondering if you are giving a lot back to the hives? With that many hives you may want to step up to a radial with some power.
I was a little disappointed too. Not all of the boxes were full. It was probably the equivalent of 3-4 mostly full boxes. It was easier to just grab the whole box off the hive and pick through when I got back to the shop.
The Slo-mo of the extractor was awesome !I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do that before!!
SPOILER ALERT!!!

I found one of your bee keeping videos and wound up binge watching all of them ,10 out of 10 would do again
Your little man sure showed his liking for the bees efforts. All power to him.
This is amazing and inspiring. I want to get into this. Btw your kitchen floors are absolutely gorgeous. I also really enjoyed the three batch comparisons, very interesting.

I have no idea why, but I found the production of this video really relaxing. And oddly satisfying.
When I first saw this I thought, "What does one do with 125 pounds of honey?".
...Then I watched 14:50 and everything is fully understood!!!
Great video as always. Thank you. :-)
Sell it and have all you need for yourself! Shore am good!!
My wife gets mad at me about the amount of honey I put in my coffee every morning.
Never tried honey in coffee...can't be too bad since both are good!!

@@jaquigreenlees we use honey constantly. A cousin has a hive about 150 yds from our place.Good for our allergies.
Very interesting video! I never realized the different colors that honey can be. Keep up the great work!
Very beautiful. Hard work but very rewarding. We thank you and the bees
You are a very blessed and wise man! Congratulations for the reality you are created with dedication and hard work! Really inspirational, thanks.
My brother has been wanting bees and as a birthday gift my nana gave him a new colony and enough supplies for two boxes. This video makes me feel hungry.
Great gift! Hope he has fun with it.
Thank you for the slow mo shot. I've been trying to plan ahead on what sort of extractor I want to go with. This gives me a lot more to go off of.
RESPECT. That's a ton of work to provide for you and your family! 👍
Yes it is, but so worth it.

Yum biscuits and honey! Cute little boy.
I knew before this video ended that your wife was gonna have a plate of biskits. Y'all sure know how to tempt an old man. lol. Cute little kid, I'll bet he likes it too.
Man I hope I get a chance to buy a full frame of honey like that some day, looks so delicious. I might just have to start keeping bees
Yum. I'm going to go make some honey & toast. I wish I could have some of yours -- I'm sure it's better than the supermarket stuff I've got.
Local is always better!
So satisfying watching those cappings be cut off.
Apicultura bem diferente da que é prática no Brasil... Parabéns pelo vídeo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That was really interesting. I had no idea what all was involved making honey. Plus getting stung. 😁
My favorite honey is chestnut honey !

Hyvä video mehiläistarhauksesta! Terveiset täältä Pohjois-Karjalasta. Hello from Finland!
Good photography. Thanks. Steady camera, lots of different points of view, close ups and very close ups. Good job.
Even the smell of fresh newly harvested honey is addictive.
Oh wow you made me hungry.😁 Nothing like honey on a biscuit.
Can't believe you put butter on the biscuit when there is fresh honey comb.
Need to get some wheat berry toast with honey and comb spread and melted.
I gotta tell you man your honey harvesting vids are more addictive than drugs
Healthier too!
When I go to KFC I always put honey on their biscuits! Yum!
Great filming" it's raining honey."
This was so much fun to watch
Working fast and you have gentle bees.
Where did you get your cassettes from?
Is that just a bread knife you are using for uncapping? Where did you get it if you don’t mind me asking. I don’t think I’m to far from you either, we have had a pretty poor nectar flow so far, praying things will finish strong
You need a bigger extractor, and add a stick to the uncapping box, no sticky frames
Brilliant videos mate! Very educational and inspirational. Keep it up.
That is one happy kid. Awesome video
If you're reading this, i pray God blesses you. Never give up five minutes before the miracle.
One Love, Peace & Fortitude
A man of your talents and you're using a wobbly folding table for your extractor? I'd have thought that you would have made a sturdy wooden stand to secure it while you are spinning. Also, isn't it a 4 frame extractor?
It's a 4 frame extractor for shallow frames. These are mediums. You can fit 2 mediums, 2 deeps, or 4 shallows in it.
This is so great, we enjoyed watching you,
We too, last week we picked about a ton of delicious and natural honey from the Croatian mountains, around our house,
we made a video about it and posted on our channel,
another harvest will be in a month
Good honey good lumber too youre a hard working guy good music whats not to like
Thank you so much for this video 🌿 wish you all the best and success 🍀🌴
I remember Daddy with his honey bees and extracting, etc.

Cool! Sorry, but I only sell it locally.
Fall Line Ridge I’m bummed I truly all you videos brother over coffee in the morning or a cold one in the evening. Thanks for sharing. Peace
I truly enjoy.
Could you tell me where you got the knife you used for uncapping? The flexibility of it is perfect!!
I think it was a hand me down. It’s basically a bread knife.
10:50 prettiest 😍
Thank you Very much
Sir do, love the special effects and I am sure each bottle of honey has a different flavor.
Thanks for sharing your video 👋...

greetings from Poland...
Another interesting video, but, how is this honey distinct from imperfect honey?
I guess I'm just partial to it.
Another Great Video Wes. I'm being forced to update my editing software....UGH...Adobe Premier is a pain.
Bummer! I'm still using iMovie. It was free on my MacBook and I haven't outgrown it. Plus Final Cut Pro is like $300.
Darkness of the honey has more to do with the flowers the bees pollinate at the time of the year. Buckwheat honey is way darker than clover honey. Some fruit flower honey is lighter.
If one knew very little of bees, that could easily be mistaken for alligator skin
I like the bite of the dark honey.
A thumbs up from Cadillac Mi
Lots of tasty honey! Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Do you do anything with the was scrapings?
Love the slomo never seen that before
What do you have flowering around you??
Clover, blackberries, not sure what else.
Boy I need a honey spigot like that in my kitchen lol 🐝🍯
Any idea what they are foraging on ?
HI! Question for you. What is the white bucket you use to fill up your jars? The one with the opening you push to the side?

Hello my frind, good, loved it
i have the same extractor not sure how old it is any idea
Shazaam! 14:50 FTW!

is that extractor a old icecream maker?
niceawwsome video!!!!
Lovely to see this. Is there a big difference in flavor compared to store-bought honey?
Night and day difference.
Why don't you use Queen excluders to prevent brood in the upper boxes? I always used them on top of the brood box, the bottom box . My honey extraction was much cleaner.
I just consider it one more piece of equipment to deal with, so I don't bother. Did you notice it affecting your yield at all?
@@falllineridge no I didn't , if there was any difference it was miniscule. I wouldn't run a hive without one, it keeps all the brood in the brood box where it belongs. I didn't have to look for new queen cells all through the hive and it was easier to track the health of the hive.
Love the bee videos! Did you ever do a follow up on the swarm traps you put out this year or did I miss something? Thanks
Never did a follow up. Never caught any swarms. That was last year. Went bust this year too. Guess I'm no swarm pro.

Hi . Your doing an amazing job with the honey 🍯. It must be very tasty mate. May I ask where do you sell the honey that you get I would like to buy some😁. Thanks

good , thanks for movies.
I'd be scared of crushing the bees while doing any of this.
Is that your green machine? I have a black 85 cj7 looks like they could
be twins... ty for the process of honey, I’d like to do it myself one day.
Yes it is. This is a 76 CJ5.
All I want to know is how I can get some!
What is a whole frame of capped comb worth?
Waoww amazing my harvesting
That is absolutely gorgeous
Wish you can send some my way. NYC
loved all of it
I just want a pool full of honey and I will live in it.
Ain't ya supposed to put mustard on biscuits?
Pls explain how to do honey bee farming in detail..
Id like to try that late season honey
You sure know how to make a body hungry!!
