I made a very similar room in the corner of my shed a few years ago. Just 9' by 9' so not terribly big, but with a nice wide door on it. Besides an electric heater I also have a reasonably sized dehumidifier allowing me to bring the moisture down in frames that are only partially capped. It works really well and I have no problem getting the honey down to 17% in a matter of days. I put an approved 5-lever lock on the door, so when not used for honey related jobs I can store whatever else I want in there and have it covered by my insurance, which is very useful.
Love the set up, you can buy a system made by ink bird that your heater plugs in to and dehumidifier then you set the parameters and it will tick over the perfect temp/humidity, also comes with a live system to monitor on your phone for peace of mind :-D
Just the journey from the apiary to the yard would be worth the watch. Surely it's as easy as bolting a go pro to the top of a super as soon as you take the crown board off. (An overnight in the dark room is a good opportunity for a sneaky charge and editing opportunity for your ads?) Ending with the jar on the shelf.
Great vlog Gruff,as we are first timers this year,we have 3 hives each one has 2 supers on,so we could do with building a small warm room to be at 20 degrees and sealed obviously,so if we used the OSB boards Gruff ,and small heater with a temperature gauge would that be sufficient.👍🐝
Hi Chris, Yes that would work perfectly. Although with 6 supers I would personally take them off the hives in the morning and then extract them the same day. The honey will be warm from the hive. Saves the cost of building a warm room.

Dehumidifier is a great point. I have one on the extracting room.
I’m from Australia and hubby converted a fridge into a warmer for me but I am only a hobbies. Works great for me .
Great video thsnks
Hi Rhonda, a fridge would work great! Nice and insulated!! 😊👍🏻
Thanks for watching the video
@@gwenyngruffydd no problem I’m enjoying them.
Good practice.... Thanks
Nice Wallabies jersey mate!
Thank Rory! Had that one for years still one of the favourites! 😄🇦🇺🦘
Great video 😊 I was wondering where the supers were stored before extraction. Really interesting.
Thanks 😊

That’s a great idea 😊👍🏻
Have you thought about a dehumidifier for your honey room?
Yes I have the the extracting room. If the boxes came in really wet I would set it up in here too. Great point 😊👍🏻
How long do you store them and do you ever have a problem with wax moth?
I only store them in there prior to extracting.
Once extracted their put on pallets and wrapped up with shrink wrap and kept in a cold shed.
By cold I mean not heated and insulated
@@gwenyngruffydd I'm going to be building a warm room this year so going this video was helpful 👍, think il use electric underfloor heating.
Glad you found it useful. I think electric underfloor heating would work amazing!
Can you do a video of extracting your supers to put them in the warm room from the hives and extracting the honey?
Yes no problem. Planning on doing a video of my extracting room this year and a how to extract video too.
I think a time lapse video of a super being taken from a hive and following the honey within right to the jar would be a pretty cool video.
That would be cool!

@@gwenyngruffydd That’s sounds more sensible,as we only have 6 frames,thanks for your great advice Gruff lad 🐝👍
No problem 😊
Do you store your empty supers over winter in the warming room.
Currently no. We pallet them up and shrink wrap them up for the winter.
Primative? I think it is brilliant. I am thinking of doing something very similar. Subbed.
😊👍🏻
Yes they WILL GET IN !!. LOL
Bees will almost get in everywhere!! Lol
11 months on and looking at the flow.... £20 says you fill that room this year!
Hope so! 😅
Handle the once and stack them from the trailer onto cut down super market trolleys ...on wheels no lifting lad 😉
Great idea! 😊👍🏻
Colega
You are talking tooooo much.
Nothing to show us.
Good practice.... Thanks
