An unboxing video for the Hillco 40 inch uncapping tank
July 5th, 2024.
An unboxing video for the Hillco 40 inch uncapping tank
Honestly, I'm a little dissatisfied with the condition the uncapping tank came it. the box appeared fine, but it must have been dropped and slammed onto the honey gait because it was dented inward quit severely. I needed to use a rubber mallot to reshape the end wall so the gait was no longer smashed inwards and was flush and the gait was pointing downward a tad instead of upwards.
I needed to realign some edges on the lid as well.
overall, the $799 price tag I feel is a little high, and now as of today, the price has been increased to $869!!! It NEEDS better packing, such as foam on the end to protect the honey gait.
Part two will be the actual usage. However, I'm confident that will be as described.
Overall, I will be happy in the end, I'm just glad I'm able to fix the small issues myself.

    Yes. I think the problem is the mixture of glycerine abd OA before heating. On next preparetion I will heat the glycerine before mixing. Thanks.

    At least you didn't have to pound out the dent in your UltraMax. I can say much about the freight company. I got my UltraMax after the season was over so I'm looking forward to using mine this season (2023). 😊 ua-cam.com/video/Uh9RlDtUSeE/v-deo.html Love the space you have. My honey shed is the 11x8 storage room at one end of my wood shop. There must be something about us big boys and their toys: ua-cam.com/video/Qcy2h04zkXM/v-deo.html I don't see a part 2 video. I'm interested in the amount of honey that you've extracted from 18 frames? It's been published that I can shoe horn 12 deep frames in to the UltraMax. I've extracted 5 gallons of honey from 10 deep frames last season. I think that 12 frames is going to over flow a 5 gallon bucket. What was your experience with the strainer on the bucket like? How fast does a 5 gallon bucket fill up?

    What are orientation flights?

    • @AmericansBee
      @AmericansBee Рік тому

      Bees, after hatching, will live inside the hive for about 2 weeks or so. Afterward, they will begin to leave the hive to graduate to a "forager." Before they leave, they need to orient themselves to where they live. So, they fly in figure 8 patterns to see where they came out of and learn how to get back to their hive. After a day or two, they become full-time foragers.

    • @AmericansBee
      @AmericansBee Рік тому

      Go to your local nursery and see what plants the bees are on. Ask the experience workers there what ones work well. Avoid any modified plants that make "better flowers " the bees prefer more native or original plant flowers. I noticed in my area that they love purple colored flowers. Plants with a lot of flowers are better.
