    Gosh that Honey is so dark, and it's mind blowing that so much is held by so little wax in comparison. It sure makes you appreciate the the skill of these girls, and all the work they do even more.

    I wonder if the Monks would make a honey wheat bread now. Seems like a good idea. It could be sold at the gift shop or online with the honey you collect around the Abbey.

      It is only on special occasions that the monks bake bread to sell, but I will say this, in the past they did use our honey to make the 9 grain bread that was sold. Unfortunately, it has been a few years since that has happened again. Always great hearing from you Susan, God's peace.

    I was sitting under my verandah in rural australia this morning watching the honeybees, native blue banded bees and butterflies working their way around my garden beds. I thought of Jeff and the guys enjoying watching the bees doing the same thing on the other side of the world.

    You appear to have yourself a large flock of happy healthy bees who in the end do enjoy the fruits of the prior work or ofther bees Mr. Ed! They have to be happy bees because you are not being chewed up as you sit among to coolers of comb remnants. Creativity appears to be one of your many tools, for as you mentioned, just looking around and you come up with a large colander and champaign tub! Even then the combination of colander and tub were heavily filled by comb and honey. Looks to be as though the weekend before Thanksgiving could be a very sweet one indeed!

    I get a lot of honey from removals. Yesterday I got 50lbs. I feed all my removal honey to my bees because I don't like the fact that this comb also has a ton of stuff that isn't honey inside it.
    I use a paint mixer & a 5 gallon bucket. This actually works great and it takes a lot less time than hand crushing. I can break up the comb and walk away after putting it in a strainer.

    You should use a cheese cloth to be able to double strain it and keep the wax bits from getting stuck in the holes of your colliander. I'd try to make a flat press so it's evenly squeezed to maximize the amount of honey you get too.

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Many people, like myself, want honey that is unfiltered. Each time a filter is used in the refining process it removes active particles in the honey and those particles add to the benefits of raw honey. So for me, running the crushed honey through a rough filter to remove the majority of the wax is good enough. Thanks for watching. God's peace Stephanie.

      @@JeffHorchoff Jeff, I saw it in the processing room at a honey company in Oklahoma, that I toured and they was crushing honey from wild bees. Aka cutouts As I said before they was using an old commercial Hobart meat grinder and was using the coarse medium grinder plates 1/2 inch holes.
      What was funny is the honey from the wild bees, they would package and sell in the health food store as wild honey taken from non domesticated bees. I asked them the difference and the comment was bees in a hive box are domesticated, and the wild honey is from bees that build where every they want, in trees, cars, houses.
      The owners of Ross honey company from Minco laughs about how the health food stores all want wild raw honey. He said for some reason the health food stores think the honey in the hives is not wild honey and are feed sugar water and chemicals.
      In one health food store they had a quart jar of honey that had beep parts and whole bees and crush honey comb, I had a heart attack when I saw the price tag of $45 dollars, and it was from a honey company in your home state from around Shreveport. The honey was dark and so was the comb.

    Jeff my thought on this wouldn't a old washing machine ringer.. you know the one that has the two rollers!. set at a certain angle feed in honey comb..... honey comb comes out toward top... liquid honey squeezes and falls to bottom. Comb comes out other side... like maybe molded plastic.... if not... and have a blade slicing and pulling comb off and putting in container. i believe an idea like this would save you more time and extract more honey from feral or other comb you have to squeeze by hand.. just saying... oh by the way my new supply of clover leaf honey has finally been processed as soon as i can get a good jar i will send you some take care see you later.

      I have looked into a press for squeezing the honey, but to date, I have not found one large enough to handle the amount of wax I would put into it.

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      When I feed bees honey I do so through internal feeders as this is the safest way not to promote robbing. Generally, I use a quart jar with small holes punched into the lid and place it over the hole in the inner cover. After that, I place a shallow super on the inner cover and then then the telescoping cover on the shallow box. A very simple, safe method. Thanks for watching. God's peace Brian.
