Kamon the Hulk!! Thanks from Texas
Lordy, please convince Laurel to get on camera for at least 10 seconds sometime. Her off-screen giggles are some of the best parts of your posts.
Thanks and stay connected!😄😄😎😆😎😆😎😁 Like 50 here!
The two of you can put a smile on anyone's face totally flippin hysterical thanks for making my day brighter guys😂
Hilarious fun. You had me at "wax dippin", then there was "paraffin & microchrystalline", then Laurel's sneeze, then "really interesting, tacky", "single chain & multi chain", then finally "felt manly, want me to break another one?" Great vid, thanks.
"You want me to break another one?" 🤣
And she shook her head no!
Never a dull moment with you guys!!! Laurel tries to hold back a sneeze!!!!!😂😂😂 You Flex the muscles!!!!!! Love your Videos!!!!! God Bless!!!
Found it funny when you realized you had a tank to dip in. You are both so entertaining funny and informative. Really impressed.
i always enjoy y’alls videos! You have impressed your better half enough on this one to get lucky in the near future. Loral lost compression lol
Bee Science - excellent demonstration of "the elastic properties of various wax substrates". See how scientific that sounds? If you said "Kamon breaks wax", it wouldn't be nearly as educational.
Fun video, looking forward to the actual dipping, sounds very interesting.
As always, thanks for the bright spot in my day.
Do whatever you gotta do to make her giggle. Such a beautiful sound.
I'm using the same wax from Aztec as well. I mix it 50/50 paraffin/micro crystalline and so far it has worked well in the hot summer heat. I have found that after I dip each piece for 15 minutes @ about 240-270 I remove it and allow a few seconds for the wood to absorb the wax into the wood and then immediately give each piece a quick 2nd dunk in the hot wax for a few seconds to get a better 2nd coating of wax on the wood which eventually absorbs back into the wood providing better water resistance & overall protection over time. Cooking the wood for 15 minutes & removing works good too but you can hardly tell it has been wax dipped once it cools off. Be really careful where you store your wax in those boxes because ants just LOVE that wax! Ask me how I know? 🙄
Greetings to your mother
Very cute video! Waiting for the " giggling girl " to make an appearance!!
Kamon I watched your videos this spring on wax dipping purchased the wax and chicken dipper. I'm a commercial roofer and installed hot asphalt roofs for years. I have absoultley enjoyed my time dipping every box, lid, and pallet I own. It has been a soothing task during covid reminding me of my past days running a hot asphalt kettle. I wanted to personally thank you for putting out this valuable information -thank you
Thanks Brad!
Love the bloopers... you guys should keep bloopers. I agree never play in good clothes. No need to dress up to make videoes.
That cheddar joke was awesome!!!
Thank you! We must have the same humor
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees yes I do I told my wife she thought it was funny too
And how long have you been beekeeping?
I am on my 6 th season and still learn tips and tricks from you so keep it up
Thanks! I needed the laugh as well. Nice knowing y'all dont use beeswax to dip. Was wondering how the heck that was affordable!
IGI is the actual manufacturer. Any candle making supply company can sale you the same wax. You may save on shipping by not getting it from Canada. Shipping across borders is always pricey.
Berry berry interesting... (in my Sgt. Schultz voice) haha. That my be before your time 🤷♂️. I would like to see that wax dripping in action video
very inspiring success greetings from Manado Indonesia
Remember that nice new long-sleeved shirt that you immediately dipped in paint?🤣🤣🤣 That's why!
Enjoyed it 😁...dress nicer for the videos...hahaha hahaha! You look great and thanks so much for the quality content!
good day on the farm you guys laughin it up. :)
Would you please make a video on how you deep the boxes in wax?
I do have a video from last year. It is in our playlists under preserving equipment
What do the wax-dipped boxes look like a few years after their dipping? Do the boxes still get the gray and weathered look? Can you post a few pics of what yours look like years after dipping?
They get grey and dark after a few years but don't swell or rot and are great to use
good video love blooper stuff i was keeping a bunch of my bloopers to put toghter a video
One of these days..I'm expecting to see a rock come flyin' at your head and when it bounces off, the giggles are going to turn to roaring laughter. That girl is something else! And...I don't recall you saying approximately what the initial wax cost is....not counting the tank/pot/vessel. Fun video!
the wax is nearly 2 dollars a pound! It goes a long way though!
Did you get popped in the forehead a couple times by a bee? 😀 Love the bloopers! Thank-you both for all you do!
LOL No that is what happens when I eat to much chocolate and drink to many sodas. Weird isn't it
Thanks !!
Baaaahaaaaahaaaaaa love the video
Son! You have yourself a serious blade. Makes my pocket Old Timer look a bit anemic. Guess I have blade envy.
Always appreciate the videos. I was wondering what was that too?
Looks like a Spiderco
God bless you. 😆😉
Really enjoy your videos. The 2 of you are great. Next time say "bless you" when a lady sneezes...😆
Hey shout out to IGI see you have some of our wax through Aztec. That did come from Canada. I work at the USA branch of the same company it is funny to see those products on u tube. Thanks again for the videos. You can break that micro easier by smacking it of a hard thin corner of something. Heat you knife up for easy clean up to get the wax off.
The T in the lot is Canada the U in the lot for the 5715A came from Titusville Pa. Figured I would add that. :)
Have you addressed parafin being an oil byproduct in the past? And the pros and cons of? Sorry if I missed it. Great videos!
Still trying to find out how to fix the ingreediences here in Sweden..... I still enjoy to see the passion för beekeeping in you.
Swarm season and my 3 hives are now 7. I started work monday (gotta fix some money when off school) being away fixing roadwork in the week, make a real narrow window weekends for my beekeeping right now. If ok have a good sugestion for other alternativ waxdipping containers, plz tell😘right now I really appriciate🛌👍
Loking forward to more videos And be safe! Lot's of love from Sweden!
Swarm season and I lost 5 boxes, just missed the signs. One box with two supers and another with one super. Whenever I don't see any bees at the entrance I start fretting and it's always a swarm.
@@markclarke8990 That's the game. This monday I was happy I was Home! I saw the queen leaving the hive. She landed only 1 meter from the hive and I could catch her. She got some food and brood and a New box. She is still there..... happy me. Was on my way to work!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅👍
@@yasminnilima2366
I am so happy for you😀😁😂
I recently stumbled upon a product called ECO Wood Treatment. One of the big bee suppliers actually carries it. It comes in a powder and it’s mixed with water. You simply immerse each of the four sides of a box into the solution and allow it to dry for 1-2 days. The manufacturer says it protects wood for many many years. Reconstituted solution lasts for a year if stored in a clean plastic container. It is completely nontoxic.
Coming from wool is it a lanolin. I rustproof boat trailers, and all machinery on the farm by diluting and putting through a spray gun. As the crow flies I’m 1km from saltwater
@steve Jackson that’s not a wood preservative, only a stain. It will not increase the life of wood
keeper01 interesting. That’s not how they market it. PM me is a couple of years and I’ll let ya know.
Bradley White soyou disagree with keeper01 who says it’s only a stain?
Steve Jackson what??? Read my question again. Ok just for you I’ll rewrite it again here.
Question- Coming from wool is it a lanolin.
Wow, I can definitely see how it’s argumentative, I don’t know what I was thinking writing it
Nice to see you again. When do we get to see Sneezy?
Hello kamon. Do you have any recommendations for when your hive is honey bound and the queen has no where to lay? I'd really hate to see momma lose her hives for a 3rd year. We are in savannah ga. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks bud.
Who the heck dresses up for working outside/working the bees videos? LOL You look properly attired to me!
How to impress the ladies... snap some wax!
I was wondering about putting a vacuum on your dipping pot. vacuum pumps are not that expensive, and might get better penetration into the wood faster. any thoughts on that
Are you kiddin me...people actually said that about dressing up more. Why, unless a person watches the videos for your fashion statement instead of learning about bees. You are great the way you are, dont change. PS So you said something about painting over the wax...is that true. Can you paint wax dipped boxes.?? Thanks you guys, you rock
I enjoy all you videos. I have a question. I know its a 50/50 mix but is it by volume say a slab of each or by the pound. Thanks in advance
You can paint over paraffin? Why would you want to? Thanks for the Vid, you guys are cute.
Just to try it out. I prefer the wood look myself
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees I don’t think the paint will stick.
@@stevestikihutable It actually will if used promptly after it is pulled out. There is just debate on weather latex based works as good as latex
Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees I have 3 wax dipped hives, don’t have the moisture problems here in Southern California, the opposite, the sun dries out the wood till it’s like styrofoam so they need protection. Thanks for the input. Following.
Hi Kamon, I have a question on queen raising. When you stick the queenbar in do they have to have any wax on them to have the workers polish and clean them? Is a day long enough to leave them in ? How long can you go before grafting with them can the be out for a few days before grafting or should they be left in until you graft? I was going to put a bar in today and then graft friday or Satrurday. Thank you - JP
Following this question. JP, i enjoy your videos too - you just need a pretty side kick like Kamon has!
Lol 👍
Wait. What were you saying about rotating between the two when adding more into ur tank? Right b4 laurel sneezed
I try to keep the ratio at 50% of each so if I add paraffin then the next time I will add the micro
Hey Kamon, you've been waxing for a while, I was curious what you think your cost per hive body is now that you are set up . Thanks for sharing.
maybe 1.50 a box
Kamon,
Stop breaking paraffin, or you will rip your shirt!!
I think you should wear your "flex" shirt every video!!!
If that's Steppler's Canadian stuff, better return ASAP. That dude is a bad dude!!
Why do you blend the waxes instead of just using 100% microcrystalline
Saves on money and is what the guy I learned from does and the guy he learned from did. 🤔
do you have to add water to the tank when adding it?
Hi Merrick no water need thankfully
Have you experimented with Eco Wood Treatment?
I haven't and I hope to soon
Eco wood treatment lasted me about 3 years, ended up painting over it to salvage my hive bodies. Planning on trying tje wax dip method this spring, fingers crossed.
@@jerrywilson1775 thank you! I ordered some off Amazon and will treat some hives this winter. If it only lasts about 3 yrs, then dipping seems the way to go to me.
First time being first to like.
Are You serious that some folks wants you to dress better for videos? They evidently do not do any real work. Thanks for sharing guys. Blessings.
WTF!! Is the first thing I thought of also when I heard it. Those rock dwellers really have no idea
How much wax does a standard hive body absorb on the average?
At this point the best I can tell is not very much. I will try to find time in the future to get a ballpark figure
Roughly between 2 and 4 ounces each. There are a lot of variables such as wood density, moisture content, and even the humidity on the day you dip.
Why dont you dip in bees wax? That is what I thought you were dipping in when I watched your vedio on wax dipping.
Do you not generate enough bees was,is bees wax more valuables to sell, is the bees wax not compatible for dipping.
I have a ton of questions on this but will stop at 3.
Love your vedios. Learning a lot from them. Hope to get some bees soon. I have built 2 complete 2 deep hives and frames and 5 swarm catch boxes all from scrap wood I had.
Been trying to catch a swarm as buying bees is too expensive for my budget.
For me, wax from the girls is too valuable for other purposes to use for large scale hive body dipping. You also need to add resin to the melted wax for the same reason as using the mix of paraffin. I'd rather use beeswax for other products or to paint a layer on empty foundation.
@@LazyDogsRanch thank you for the reply
The problem with beeswax is it's low melting point. On a summer day it would easily leach from the boxes. What we are using is about 160-170 melting point.
@@kamonreynolds very understandable. Now I know. Thank you
I have an silly question how can I message you on a mobile are social media
I say..wear what u want. Nice clothes will just get ruined
Who really cares what your wearing, it’s your life.
