Guys listen. There have been a few extremely inappropriate comments about my guys in this video. I will not tolerate any of it. You will be blocked from the channel.
As someone who worked on a dairy farm and was the only white guy on my crew, the ignorant people making those comments don't realize that the majority of farm labor is done by Hispanics. If they want to be ignorant, I guess they should farm their own food or quit complaining about who touches what. 🤷♂️
Its interesting how beehives are managed and used in different countries. In Romania beehives were on large trucks and moved around the fields. Very few if any pesticides used.
Back in the mid 80s, I had as many as 14 colonies. My wife and I did the extracting. It took us over a month and clean up the sticky mess. We were always on the lookout for holes in the small honey house to keep bees out. It was still a big job. Nice operation here.
I wish I could have experienced beekeeping in the 80s! We’re lucky to be able to move bees away from the shop when we’re extracting. Makes it way nicer when you don’t have to work with bees crawling on you! 😂
@beefarmerjake I'm curious how many acres it takes for 2-3 hives to produce 100 pounds of honey, assuming it's a rural area with solid wildflowers and trees that would favor honey production. I'm looking into buying 500 acres of land (probably Kentucky or Tennessee) and producing honey would be something that want to include with it. I'm planning on an extensive fruit and nut orchard as well as wildflowers, goldenrod and many other favorable pollinator plants.
@ the area is defined by the radius of flight of the bees. So it is fixed, only differs (up to 2 miles distance to the hive )by bee race. Besides internal effects and Management Yield is defined by environmental conditions ( Temperature, humidity, soil) and vegetation.
@christofboehm1638 so approximately how many hives could I have with a conservative estimate on 500 acres loaded with wildflowers and trees like black locust, basswood, fruit and nut trees, with ideal conditions in say Tennessee or Kentucky? The surrounding land looks like dense deciduous forest. I wouldn't be moving the hives off the property.
@ I am not familiar with the Environment. You really need to Talk with the localbeekeepingassociation. Under the assumption you could take high risks because It’s Hobby: Choose 3 Locations each in at least 1mile distance. Places Must have good acces with trailer whole year Avoid cold spots ( valley bottom). It’s good with trees in north and at least exposed to sun either in east, south or west Put an Even number of hives probably Not more than 16 per location After 2-3 years experience delete your worst Location to find a better spot. I bet you Need Electric wire against predators.
Hi Jake, this has been such a great video! I'm trying to build the first fully industrial honey processing farm in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and sort of learning as I go but it has been hard. Could you please provide me: 1. the production plant floor planning 2. how many hectares/space was used for the 100K lbs production? 3. prior to filtering, you didn't use knives for removal, im assuming because your machine is high technology so the filtering is so fast there's no need? Great videos!
Love to see people working hard together for a common goal. If only the youth of America would understand the value of work and the piece of mind good clean work provides. Keep up the good work. Let the haters hate.....they just jelly cuz they won't work
You probably need to pay more attention to the production culture. While working with a food product some workers wearing gloves and others not. You regretted $50 on a pack of nitrile gloves? Why are workers in casual clothes? The honeycomb opener looks dirty on the inside. You boast of high production efficiency, but its quality raises many questions. Would I like to buy this honey? Hmmm... 🤔
Well even a raw product is food. You‘s is actually quite a clean setup. You see many honey houses which really are dirty. The uncapping just get that dirty after 5 min of work. Gloves are the worst thing to be using in food production, they raise the dirt more then most ppl understand. But with the clothing, I‘m with him, Hair nets, and clean company clothing should be a must in food production. The guy who brings in the supers would be fine just with an apron, even the guy at the uncapper. What i also would add to your setup, is a lift, so that the guy loading the supers onto the conveyor doesn’t has to do everything by hand and saves his back/knees. Also it is fast. Really like that you are using a that conveyor/window setup. Maybe add some strips of clear plastic (the 1/4“ thick ones) to the windows. They really help keeping bugs out

I'm glad you stand up for your workers. You might want to think about some ear protection in the loud environment. They will thank you.
My husband works with Spanish guys and he treats then like he treats everyone. I respect all you guys for working so hard.
People are people. Man this comment alone sets you apart from other TH-camrs. You gained a subscriber
I love a good boss when I see one. Standing up and defending your employees goes a long way.

How many colonies you have
Great video! Just discovered your channel!! You have a new subscriber from Wales in the U.K.! 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
Welcome!! Thank you!
damn thats one of the biggest operations iv ever seen well done impressive
Thank you!
Great video! Watching how y’all make and process honey never gets old!!!
Curious on where you’d buy machinery like this. It basically makes you the Henry Ford of beekeeping. Nice set up!
Thank you! Its from a company called Cowen Manufacturing!
Great content Jake! You have a subscription from Moldova. Would like to see more of stuff like this. Thank you!
Thank you!!
Great operation, Jake, looks just perfect 👍
Thanks 👍
You have Ian Steppler's set up but his is hand crank pushing the frames into the big spinner.
Nice. Yeah the Cowen 120 is very common among many larger beekeepers.
6:27 is it just the honey from the decapping device or both the decapping and the fuge ?
All of it

Amazing to watch the commercial process!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice setup. How many frame extractor was that? Bigger than my 8 frame. LOL
120 frames!!
Nice I want one
Where is this honey farm
Quick question how often do you have to change or sharpen the knife on the decapper
Maybe every 5 years
that looks serious, so as a bee keeper thank your workers as a bee keeper
Hello i am a 16 years old teenager and i am interested in this domain i juste want to know how did you manage to get all this material
It’s a family business!
Do you also make candles from the wax?
We do not but have plenty of people that buy are wax to do that!
That is a really sweet extraction line!
Thank you!
Literally and figuratively ! 😏😁😋🍯
You cooked the honey bro ? Is that heating machine ?
Yes they’re all heating machines. We like our honey caramelized.
What do you do with all the wax cappings?
Render them and use the wax for sale/new frames!
Jake, what state are you in? And are all those 'boxes' your own?
We’re in Texas! Family business. All but about 4 pallets of the boxes in the warehouse are ours.
That's a lot of honey! Do you sell it all yourself or do you have to wholesale?
We bottle everything under our name and sell to several grocery stores directly!
Great works!! Beautiful 👌👌👌🐝🐝
Thanks a lot 😊
where you mixing water in the honey?
No
No

Great videos!
I have no idea what a hectare is lol... We don't filter any of our honey. The uncapper has hot knives built into it to remove wax cappings.
@@beefarmerjake hectare of land I meant. I’m trying to figure out the spacing of your hives. Ok thank you for clarifying the cappings! I appreciate it
@@nohemieco The USA primarily uses acres instead of hectares to measure land area. One hectare is equivalent to approximately 2.47 acres. 🇦🇴
Great video very cool process.
awesome jake.
Wow, that's amazing.
So we're can we order your stuff don't see link
Should be in the description! Moorehoney.com
Best regards from Romania 🇷🇴. I wish you all the best. 👏👏👏🐝🐝🐝

That's what you called pure delicious honey great job guys im planning to be a beekeeper to help our farm here in our house

Love to see people working hard together for a common goal. If only the youth of America would understand the value of work and the piece of mind good clean work provides. Keep up the good work. Let the haters hate.....they just jelly cuz they won't work

Hallo Jake, was für Königinnen hast Du im Einsatz!
Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz 🇨🇭
How many guys do you have on your crew and how many colonies do you run?
5 on the bee crew including me for just over 3000.
@@beefarmerjakethats amazing
Visited a be farm in northern Alberta with 12 thousand hives and 12 guys that was impressive
We need Moore videos!!!
Got some good stuff coming soon 😉
And then there’s me with 3 hives and 60kg of honey this year 😂
Wow, I have a few hives I get enough honey from here in Florida. Amazing process.
Thanks! It’s definitely a lot of honey. Usually twice as much
В России у людей по 200 улей
We miss ur video
Hi, I'm from Poland, I have a small apiary. I love your movies. I like your caps, they are great. i would like to buy it. is it for sale? Regards
Yes available at the link in the description!
Why not just run all deeps?
Mediums go on before the flow hits. Deeps go on after that. Just preference.
Дякую чудове відео. Працівники суперово виконують роботу. Маштаб пасіки вражає. Цікаво скільки у вас вуликів?

Ever let bees come in and clean up?
Not inside the shop 😳 just empty supers sometimes
Hello I'm from Nepal
AQUI NO BRASIL NOIS TRABALIMOM COM ABELIAS AFRICANISADAS AS FILIAS DE DEUS
What is the #1 mistake you see new bee keepers make when they are first starting out?
Not monitoring varroa load for various reasons.
Круто! Очень круто!
God bears fruit
I have always been interested in mass honey farming
Amazing!
Hello, how are you I am a specialist in beekeeping and apiary management, looking for a job
Where are you located
AS ABELIAS SAO FILIAS DE DEUS DO CEU LIMDO E BONITO TRABALIO MEU IRMAO

You are free to block people. Anyway, not many people watch your videos.
You’re right, I am! Thanks for watching ;)
More people watch him than watch you

What a complainer you are
This is not food production. We are harvesting a raw product. You probably need to learn more about raw honey.
He is indian
Well even a raw product is food. You‘s is actually quite a clean setup. You see many honey houses which really are dirty.
The uncapping just get that dirty after 5 min of work.

Really like that you are using a that conveyor/window setup. Maybe add some strips of clear plastic (the 1/4“ thick ones) to the windows. They really help keeping bugs out
Alex you are food safety ignorant..... Get educated moron
Just imagine if they were full 200,000 pounds 👍
I know!!!! Should have made closer to 250,000
What's the average pounds per hive?
