  • After talking to some other beekeepers I decided to try using fume boards instead of bee escapes to remove the honey supers for our honey harvest. I bought some fume boards and rounded up a good crew and we went to work. We pulled a record amount of honey for me and we pulled it fast. I could not have done it without their help. It was hard work but we had a lot of fun in the process.

    That's pretty impressive stacking loaded honey supers 10 boxes high, that ship has sailed for me. Nice and informative video, thanks for sharing.

      Yes it was a great crew. Two of the boys had never been in bees before so I was concerned but they proved to be pretty tough and did a great job.

    I like the use of the leaf blower I use bee escapes and have in the past used fume boards.

    Bruce, I happy to see you had plenty of help! There’s no way that you could have pulled all those boxes by yourself in one day. I’m anxiously waiting on the extraction video!

    Another great video! Always good to see young people getting involved and they can be a great help too. Do you happen to know Dr Bob Snell in Dothan? He is my cousin.

    • @brucesbees

      I think he is a veterinarian in Ozark. If so my family has used that clinic for years.

    Quite the harvest you've got! About 900lbs or over 1,000? I bet my guess is completely wrong 😉

    Also like on that first hive how its covered in bees on the outside. Very nice build up.

  • @russellkoopman3004
    @russellkoopman3004 3 роки тому

    That is going to be a lot of honey to peddle Bruce. LOL Good problem. My guess is about 2,700 lbs of honey if you have over 100 boxes. Glad you had a good year.

    • @brucesbees
      @brucesbees  3 роки тому

      Yes it is a lot of honey. I am certainly concerned about how to get rid of it but will give it a go. Hope to get the extraction video up in the next few days!

    @daveupton8625 3 роки тому

    Like the old bee excapes better, did the fume boards push the bees to the out side of the hive?

    • @brucesbees
      @brucesbees  3 роки тому

      A little but not bad. We got the supers off pretty quick.

      Yes. They were awesome. Worked hard. Full of energy. Lots of fun. They probably carried 90+ percent of the boxes.
