Me: *knows nothing about beekeeping* Also me, 7 minutes in: “ah yes, this frame looks magnificent, fully capped. We can’t take it out quite yet though since there’s brood on the other side and we want to keep the queen in this hive to keep things in order”
Great honey harvest! We used to keep bees -- we were in orange blossom country -- a 100+ miles south of here. But I developed a not-deathly allergy to bee stings and my husband passed away in 2004. Also, back in the 1970's through about 1985, we had several really hard freezes which killed a lot of the citrus trees. Without the citrus bloom, there just wasn't enough honey plants around. Added to which, we lived too close to town in a residential area where bees were restricted. So, we had to let the hives go! It's a shame, but I'm 74 years old now, and have had 4 spinal surgeries -- no way I could handle that now. Watching your videos really brings back some wonderful memories!
@@copperpumpkin2648 Bees don't sting unless they feel threatened. The bees obviously got a pleasant rest, (meaning no skunk or animal bother them in the night,) and the smoker helps a lot.
How can you not like this dude! He's straight forward, clear and very very informative. I'm a second year bee keeper and just learning the ropes, but this is my go-to video source for learning bee keeping. Thank you!
I’m sorry but he’s not very careful with his bees. There are others more knowledgeable and if you missed how he trimmed grass around the hives, you missed a horrible video
I don’t know about you but to me at least, a hive group that can produce over 200lbs in honey per year is far from suffering. Worker bees don’t even live longer than two weeks or so anyways before they die. Furthermore predators have been catch bees in the wild naturally for millions of years. The bees can replace the loss of a worker bee with 3 more worker bees within a day. The bees are fine
@@lukez9721 I'm 7 minutes in and already he's... -stated he mowed THE DAY that he intends to harvest. -stated that he's harvesting in a Derth. -stated that he's greedy and harvesting frames from the brood box including frames WITH BROOD... Did I miss any other unethical shit that is terrible practice?
Every time i see a wasp i kill it if i can. Every time i see a bee I leave it alone, same with bumblebees. If i see a bee or a bumblebee in need i save it! I stopped on the highway in one of the sos spots cause i had a bumblebee on my window wiper, holding on for dear life. So i stopped, got out of the car (carefully) and gently lifted the bumblebee off the wiper and put it gently on a flower on the side of the road, where i already saw bumblebees buzzing around. I also have a shallow water dish outside in my garden for the bees when they need a drink, and give them honey and banana peel if i see a weak bee. Wasps tho... to hell with them...
@@aierune8201 First of all, there was basically no one on the road except me and second of all, we are all going to die anyway, so why not save a life once in a while :) And it was a bumble bee, which means it have a fairly large ass XD
@@Princess_Cheese That may be, but wasps are also assholes with wings, if they hadn't been so aggressive i wouldn't have anything against them. They can end up killing people for gods sake.. :(
In England it has long been a tradition among beekeepers to talk to the bees, telling them what was going on in the beekeeper's life. Is this common among North American beekeepers?
The wise old guy in my bee club that does free extractions has a gizmo he's made out of a mop squeezer for cappings. He just shovels them in there, gives it a squish and... done. 10 seconds. It all looks delicious, btw.
You're videos are literally getting me through the Kidney Stone I am suffering from right now... Holy hell are these videos absolutely perfect to watch for someone just trying to take their mind off pain, they are so relaxing and calming!
Wonderful nectar flow, really beautifully capped off the honeycomb that's for sure. Great job with the harvest, so interesting to see that much honey in the capping alone. I watched your vid with my 4-year-old Noah, "Wow that's all the bees honey, yummy". -Kieran
Hello, I am a French Canadian and my Grandfather had also Bee Hives but he NEVER used smoke, at least I don't remember. He used a cedar boxes and cedar frames, he'd removed the honey filled frames from their boxes and add them in a cedar box. After a few honey filled frames are put in the cedar box, he'd put a cedar frame then more honey filled frames then a cedar frame and so on. He'd leaved it maybe a few hours or so because insects can't stand the smell of cedar, it stinks to them and they leave by there own accord. I don't know the specifics because I was just a child and I'm in my early 50's but just an idea to make your life easier. Great video, big fan, keep up the good work. Peace in Christ.
I am totally fascinated with you techniques. I can't wait to get my first honey harvest. I had bees back in 2014 and I got so discouraged that I just couldn't get into it again. Then I started watching bee videos again and came across your channel. Love the simple way you do things. I can't wait to get back into it and put some of your techniques into practice. Thank you for your time to teach us.
Yes make a video of the wax rendering. It's so interesting to me to see that you don't shake off the bees before taking the hives. I thought you couldn't mix the boxes within different hives but that's why I enjoy educational videos like this. I have learned so much. I also didn't know the bees do such a good job of cleaning up the mess. That's unbelievable to me. Great video.
Pillow-case to strain the cappings. It'll take a lot of cappings, and can be hung overnight over the bucket. Best of all it to do it in stages, with mesh to start then smaller and finer materials in turn, which avoids the strainers getting clogged up.
Wow! What a harvest, and for the year in total, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing. And yes, I would be interested to see your rendering process. I have seen quite a few and would be interested to see what you prefer to do. God Bless.
your videos have been keeping me sane and collected during shelter in place, I'm super happy to have found your channel! Much love and wishing good health and happiness to you and your family!
I was looking for a video to learn how honey is extracted and your video made my experience awesome. After watching your video I must appreciate the hard work of all bee keepers like you. You guys are doing awesome job in offering us with such a beautiful gift of nature in its purest possible form. Thank you 🙏😊👏
Hey, thanks a bunch for your videos. I’m a bit too young and broke to have bees, but this is definitely giving me a good picture on how it’ll be if I do want to manage bees
I'm a bit jealous. Since I left Louisiana for Texas, my bees haven't done squat. They've survived, but that's been about it. Your honey and bees look good.
I've seen a few harvesting videos but I've never seen the clean up process. I love that the bees get to clean up any left over honey; good for them and helpful for you! And yes, I'd also like to see how you render the wax.
Just discovered your channel today; SUBSCRIBED! I saw those bees flying by, checking your work as you milled the lumber and I thought 'those are his bees, they know and trust him!" and sure enough, here you are harvesting honey. Good man! Thanks for being such a responsible steward of the Earth.
With all those bees coming to your garage, do any of your family members ever get stung? I am allergic to bees, but I find this so fascinating!! Thanks for sharing! Love your channel
@@kingcurry5139 I might only be keeping bees for one year, but what you need to understand quickly is: bees dont reuse their wax. they build it once, that's it. so it is an absolutely valid question, why not to make the bees clean out the cappings. to give a useful answer: depending on how you make your bees clean out these cappings, you might train your (actually any) bees to rob other hives; in most cases, this is your own hives, so your stronger hives just start fighting your weaker hives on honey to store for winter. that way you can make sure, that your hives just dwindle in numbers and all in strength.
getting your bees to clean out the wax (not only cappings, but your comb in general, as it does not get clean from the centrifuge) takes energy from your bees. so just draining it through a sieve yields a lot of honey. what i did (just in need of combs to get my bees fed for the winter) is to wash the combs out with water, leaving the combs intact for the bees to fill them with sugar for the winter. the water i used for washing out the rest of the honey, i mixed with some yeast to produce mead for the holidays. 14 vol.-% just from that :)
Use a queen excluder on top of the bottom box and keep here down there and you don't have to worry about getting her along with the others. Bee (see what I did there?...LOL) a bit more careful about the uncapping and don't dig so deep and you'll have less honey to have to get out of the cappings. Before health issues made me unable to deal with the weight of full supers I had 66 hives (north Georgia) and was pulling a super (a medium) a week from each hive during the summer, or about 12 pounds per week per hive.
Wow, 1000th comment here. Your videos got me to start a hive. You always have explained things and provided so many great tips. I have notebooks full from watching all your videos, and I've rewatched so many from pure entertainment. Keep up the good work and wonderful attitude! ❤ Edit: corrections
I had the same happen to one of my hives. One hive produced dark honey but I have no idea where they were foraging. The other hives had the regular golden comb. All very tasty. 😎
@@IAmBottle. , clover honey is light. Buckwheat honey is dark. Orange blossom honey is very light. Lightness or darkness of the honey is not a good measure of overly processed, unfortunately. If it's not your own honey, it's just best to know the beekeeper.
Avoid all of the cappings work and time by using an uncapping roller. Mann Lake, Amazon, and lots of others have them. Most are less than $15 and makes all of the harvest much quicker.
Smoke masks alarm pheromones which include various chemicals, e.g., isopentyl acetate that are released by guard bees or bees that are injured during a beekeeper's inspection. In addition, smoke initiates a feeding response in anticipation of possible hive abandonment due to fire.
Me: omg! I want to be a beekeeper and harvest my own honey!! So cool!! This is my calling!! Man on the vid: be careful of black widow spiders. Me: nahh, nvm. I’ll just buy honey , watch YT and chill.

I just had to comment because there were 999 comments and I’m the 1000th! I’m obsessed with this content and I’m doing all I can right now so that I can retire into this lifestyle ASAP
Just subscribed,love the way you just show us what your doing without too much talking, other you tubers just talk throughout the whole video, blah blah blah, it’s off putting, you on the other hand just do it, a lot like king Andrew Caramata , well done look forward to watching many more of your videos, love how you are not too greedy and leave some honey for your hard workers, it’s a two way street, Look after your bees and they will give you plenty in return
It's always good to see a bountiful harvest like this, enjoying the fruits of their labor. (And yours as well!) Two questions though. First, would having a Queen Excluder between your brood boxes and honey boxes help or hinder your efforts? Second, would heating up your cappings until they melt allow for an easier time in separating the honey, wax and debris? Someday hopefully soon I would love to take on the hobby of beekeeping and so I appreciate the advice and the different views of those who are actively involved in the process. Thanks for your input and thank you so much for sharing your time and effort in this and other videos!
I get a lot of enjoyment watching your videos with the bees and of course your saw milling. Curious how much land you have on your place since you seem to get quite a few trees to cut up? Keep up the great and entertaining work. Terry

Nice to see how fellow beekeepers in other countries are working. Greetings from the Netherlands
Why didn't you make the bees clean out the wax cappings instead of putting it in the freezer
Because the bees would chew the wax and re use it for their hive instead of just cleaning it.

When you shake the hives
Me:bug abuse
Just an observation; I noticed that the honey was very dark. Are you privy to exactly from what plant they're bringing nectar from?
Gene Summers, honey is supposed to be dark. Overly processed/sugary honey is usually lighter and more translucent. I understand your concern though.

Mediocre Gaming you’re so far wrong, honey is light during spring, it depends on seasons and plants of course

That was fantastic. You are multi-talented ! Greetings from Montreal Canada.
Avoid all of the cappings work and time by using an uncapping roller. Mann Lake, Amazon, and lots of others have them. Most are less than $15 and makes all of the harvest much quicker.

Really interesting. Thx for sharing your knowledge.
Nice shirt! Leadville is really quaint.
Amazing how they clean up😁😁
What happens if you accidentally put a frame in the wrong box? Will the bees get mad?
bees are exceedingly organized creatures . they dont even like frames being put back in the same box but the wrong order
A great result, well done 😃👌👏👏👏

I just had to comment because there were 999 comments and I’m the 1000th! I’m obsessed with this content and I’m doing all I can right now so that I can retire into this lifestyle ASAP
I would like to see the wax process.
I buy beezwax from him too so that video would be cool. Thanks and love the channel.
why is this so satisfying to watch
Enjoy your videos!
Ronnie Daniels Thank you!
I would like to see a video of the wax being rendered.
Anybody else love the way this guys says, "honey?"
Just subscribed,love the way you just show us what your doing without too much talking, other you tubers just talk throughout the whole video, blah blah blah, it’s off putting, you on the other hand just do it, a lot like king Andrew Caramata , well done look forward to watching many more of your videos, love how you are not too greedy and leave some honey for your hard workers, it’s a two way street, Look after your bees and they will give you plenty in return
It's always good to see a bountiful harvest like this, enjoying the fruits of their labor. (And yours as well!) Two questions though. First, would having a Queen Excluder between your brood boxes and honey boxes help or hinder your efforts? Second, would heating up your cappings until they melt allow for an easier time in separating the honey, wax and debris? Someday hopefully soon I would love to take on the hobby of beekeeping and so I appreciate the advice and the different views of those who are actively involved in the process. Thanks for your input and thank you so much for sharing your time and effort in this and other videos!
Great harvest. You're about due for an electric extractor .
That is pretty amazing, I buy honey from a local guy in GA but he does not share how he does it.
Get yourself a hive and next year you can cut the comb and honey straight from the frame and onto your toast. 😎
I get a lot of enjoyment watching your videos with the bees and of course your saw milling. Curious how much land you have on your place since you seem to get quite a few trees to cut up? Keep up the great and entertaining work. Terry
Great video 👍🏽
