Thanks for watching Russell!

When in manual mode, you'll need to hit the "PEEL" button to Tare the scale to Zero. If you're in Auto mode, it will automatically Tare it to Zero when you put the bottle on. Thanks for watching!

@@TexasBeekeeper ahh thanks I had no idea what the peel button was for

@@YarnTrucker Yeah, I don't know why it can't just say "TARE". I've never heard of "PEEL" before this...... Good luck! Hope it works out for you!

@@MinnesotaBeekeeper hey Mike, I didn't notice a chemical plastic smell. Not strong anyway. I'll have to open her back up now and see if my memory is correct....

@@TexasBeekeeper I bought a wine cooler for the creamed honey. I had to leave the door open for a month to let it off gas.but it seems to be fine now.

@@MinnesotaBeekeeper haha. I did the same (bought a wine cooler). I may not be as observant as you are because I don't remember it needing to gas off either. I'm thinking there may just be something wrong with my nose. 😆 🤣

Hi Jennifer, if you go to my channel and expand the about section. On my computer it's right below "The Texas Beekeeper" where it has my subscriber count, etc. I'd be happy to try and help out where I can.

@waynej7037 hey Wayne, the manual didn't have a lot of information. A lot of that was trial and error. Hopefully I coveted it enough to help.

@@ezrabrooks12 thank you so much!

Hey DC, sorry for the late reply. It was around $320. I absolutely love it. I've got the vevor pneumatic filler also but this one is just so much easier. I think the cost for time savings can vary for everyone, but I already feel like it's been recouped for me. It really simplifies the process. I like that you can put the hose in a bucket and take what you need and the ease of switching between sizes couldn't be more simple. I really wish i would have gotten it sooner.

@MinnesotaBeekeeper hey Mike. I sure can but it will be a little while. I'm bottling weekly after markets to replenish what was sold so I won't be cleaning this and putting it away until probably December.

@@MinnesotaBeekeeper Mike I typically just run warm water through mine to clean out the gear motor until it looks clean. I haven’t run any flavors through it though.

@flowerstreetfarmbees hey Bryan, yes I would bet these are all made by the same factory. I've been living this filler. I have the pneumatic filler as well and it's great for one size set it and forget it, but this one is great when you need to bottle all different sizes. Our harvest this year wasn't quite as good as last year, but it wasn't too bad. We got a little too much rain at the wrong times.

Mine just blew a hole in it so I ordered 13 from them. Thanks!

Hello, The model number is: SYC-5-X-V1 The link is also in the description if you need it. I do not make anything from the link. It's just there for convenience. Thanks for watching!

@theunlikelybeek Hi, thanks for stopping in. Yes, I weighed every bottle after it was filled to make sure and they all came out right on the money or 1/10th of an ounce over. I had a couple that were 1/10th of an ounce under, but I just adjusted the VEVOR to dispense an extra gram and that fixed it. Every bucket of Honey can be different, so you do have to calibrate any time you're switching buckets because moisture content of honey, etc. Can change the accuracy of how it is dispensed. Overall, I'm very pleased with this machine and the price.

@dalonafoster3997 it comes with a manual and that gets you 90% of the way there. The LCD also tells you some information like which button to press to increase the value and which to decrease, etc. I could do a video on it soon if that would be helpful.

@@TexasBeekeeperThank you for the quick response!😊 I would love to see a video of how you programmed yours. I bought one of these units this week but it keeps restarting the machine mid-pour so I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong.

@@dalonafoster3997 I'll try and get you a video this week/weekend. In the meantime, I'll try to explain to see if that helps. M1,M2, M3 and M4 are the preset buttons. If you simply press a button, it will take you to that preset. There it will display the grams of that Preset. If you hold down the M1, M2, M3 or M4 button it will take you into the setup for that preset. From there if you look in the lower left of the LCD, it will tell you to press M3 or M4 for + and - . Doing this will adjust the grams either up or down. If you hold down M3 or M4 it will scroll through the numbers faster so that if you have a long ways to go, it will go a little faster. You can also press M1 or M2 to scroll through the menu options withing the presets. You'll want to also set up a Target for the Empty bottle. What you'll do there is put an empty bottle on the scale for each preset size. For example. Lets say that an 8 ounce bottle weighs 20 grams. You'll want to set the target for less than 20 grams, so that it will trigger the scale when the bottle is placed on it. So you may set it for like 15 grams. And your Honey weight for 8 ounces would be somewhere around 227 grams. When you're all set with the preset, you'll hit the CLR button to exit. Then you can long Press the next "M" button to set up another preset. Once you're finished, all you'll need to do is select the preset that you want and you can begin filling that size. If you have an odd size bottle to fill, like let's say, 19 ounces.... You can just set the grams by hitting the "SET" button and key in the Grams for 19 ounces. Then you can fill however many you need to and just select an "M" button when you want to switch back to a preset value. The "PEEL" button is to tare the scale. So if you have a half full 8 ounce bottle, and you want to fill the last 4 ounces in it, you could set a custom weight using the "SET" button and key in something around 114 grams. Then also double check the Target weight for the empty bottle. Then you can put the half full bottle on and quickly hit the "PEEL" button. now you just need to put an empty bottle on the scale off to the side somewhere just to trigger the filler to start filling and it will put 4 ounces into the half full bottle. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is an Automatic Mode and a Manual Mode. To Toggle between these modes, you'll select the second button from the left on the bottom row. It will often say MA/AU. I hope this helps some. I'll try and get that video up for you soon. Good luck!

i can try and get you that video. In the mean time, I'll try to explain so it will hopefully be quicker. The hose that goes from the pump to the dispenser, you want to disconnect so that you can fill it with whatever it is that you want to pump (Priming the pump). If you still have the syringe that came with it, you can use that, otherwise, you could use a Honey Bottle, etc. to try and get the pump gears filled with Honey, water, etc. It may be easiest to disconnect it from the dispenser end so that you can put a decent amount in the hose. Once you are confident that you have enough in the hose to where it's also in the "gearbox", you want to make sure the other end of your hose is in the bucket. Then you'll either put the machine in Auto or manual mode and begin dispensing. I hope this helps you out for now. I'll try to get you a video on it.

@@TexasBeekeeper I’ll give this a shot. Thank you!

How is it powered? 12volt or 110volt?

@@dwarlock1978 It's powered by 110 volt. I've seen some that appear to come with a 12 V adapter, but this one is 110V .

Yes, I would think the Honey temp and viscosity would play a pretty big role in how well in flows through the tubes. When switching honey buckets, you'd also want to double check the filled bottle to make sure you don't need to make minor adjustments. Thanks for watching!

LOL! I wish I would have gotten it sooner. Makes filling bottles really easy!

It's great that we have so many options and that prices are actually affordable. Thanks for watching!

Hey Mike, It was $369 with Free Shipping and YES! I would buy it again. I'm actually thinking of getting another one to cover more presets for different bottle sizes. But.....it's also very easy to just key in a specified weight and bottle different sizes on the fly, so I'm not in a big rush to get another one just yet because of that.

@@rtxhoneybees hey Phillip, yes sir. I just posted another video of me actually using it. Love it!

@@rodneymiddleton9624 yes sir! It's always nice when it's an easy fix like that!

@dcsblessedbees morning DC! It's the Farmers Market time of year. Things get really busy since I spend most of my evenings filling bottles and printing labels. I just need to try and not neglect the bees. Take care DC!

@dcsblessedbees Hey DC! Yeah, they could probably inspect them better as they come in, but I really do think the same place is making all of these and just rebranding them. We'll see how it does. The VEVOR pneumatic bottler I got is still holding up and doing good. Just not as quick to switch bottle sizes.

@MinnesotaBeekeeper Hey Mike, I just pump it through at room temperature right now. It's coming out of a 5 gallon plastic bucket.

@@TexasBeekeeper No kidding, wow.

@lomavistabeeco Hey Todd, You go go on their web site and under the menu they have a "contact us" option. You should be able to do a live chat or just send a message.

You know, the more I think about this and also considering Mike's comment, I wonder if you're bottling pretty thin Honey? The only reason I say that is, that I know when I was cleaning the system before first use, I remember that it didn't fill water all the way to the correct weight. So I'm just wondering if the thinner it is, the less likely it is to get a good fill? Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there in case it might have something to do with it.

The bucket is completely sealed off so it's just a matter of unlatching it and carrying it to where you want the bees. Unscrew the lid (which is at the bottom) and shake the bees into the box, or just set it there and let them walk out on their own. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I don't know that you'd get 1 hour on this without using at least a couple of battteries. But they're easy to swap out. No different than a cordless drill.

@BVaughanfulk I went with the 60 gallon tank from Northern tool. I figured I can always fill it halfway or so if needed. It does not pump very well when it gets down to about 5 gallons or so, so I usually have to dump the last part into a tub manually. Thanks for watching and commenting

@@TexasBeekeeper thanks for replying! I’m currently at 2 hives and I help a friend with 8 more. 5 gallon buckets and 1 gallon jugs is becoming a lot to manage lol

​@@BVaughanfulk I hear ya! That's exactly why I decided to finally upgrade too. Lugging those 1 gallon jugs around got old real quick. Good luck to you!

The screw on lid van be purchased from Hone Depot and probably various other places. They run about $8 each. There is a threaded rim that you snap on a 5 gallon bucket and the lid screws into that. Both pieces come in the set. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I got those screw on lids from from Home Depot. They're worth getting, just for the ease of removing the lid.

Ok thanks

Hey @Bee_nayie, that will have to be next season unfortunately. This year, my wife planned a trip for us RIGHT as I was getting ready to graft, so I ended up just calling off the whole thing. Now that I've got my timing frames ready and the incubator ready, I should be good to go next Spring. I'll try and make sure to do a video on it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I haven't thought of that, but I bet it would work! Thanks for watching!

Hey Frank! One of these days hopefully. They really are fun and relaxing to work on. Kind of like beekeeping I guess. Thanks for watching!

@TexasBeekeeper Always wanted to make a violin... I don't play anything though.

@gallowaylights I don't really play either. Always wanted to play guitar and I can pick a little (very little) but I wouldn't play in front of more than just myself. 😀

LOL!

Thanks Ms T

I like them better than the Styrofoam, but I'm working on a different idea that I just haven't had time to complete yet. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@TexasBeekeeper do you think they will last longer?

@@Goochieman I think so. I still haven't had them long enough to really see exactly how long they'll last, but some positive points are, that you don't have to paint them like you would styrofoam and they won't dent, puncture or break as easily as styrofoam either.

Thanks for sharing!

LOL! That's great!

Great tip! And yes, I have a wifi thermostat to monitor. Do you have the same exact incubator, or is yours a different?

@@TexasBeekeeper it’s same one only difference it is black one

@@Beekeeping_Bro Thanks! I'll have to keep a close eye on it. Appreciate the warning.

I do sell them locally. When I have them....

Thanks Brian

Thank you! Hopefully I'll get time to do some more Queen rearing soon

LOL. I'll have to get on that!

Will do Dennis. Thanks!

Hi DC 😃

Hey Alex! Exactly. Just hoping to help people that want a slightly more affordable way to get a battery powered bee vac. Thanks for watching.

Hey David, I get those from Amazon. I have updated the description to include links for all of the products. I get absolutely nothing if you use the link. It's just there to help. Thanks for watching.

Excellent!! Thanks. Hope your bees are doing good this year.

@@DavidDetrich You're very welcome! Thank you! Hope yours are doing good too!

Thanks for watching Mike
