I’m a rookie beekeeper snd extracted my first honey. Wow, so fulfilling and satisfying. Your content is excellent. Common sense harvesting as that’s how we did it with a manual extractor that worked extremely well. Thank you again as you had the yellow lip accessory as I need that for sure. Great job!
This is FANTASTIC.. Great to see from start to finish..very nicely done. WOW, that is a lot of honey. Enjoy the health benefits from it and THANK YOU for sharing.
Will be extracting my first honey very soon. Was very pleased to hear your explanation regarding the Maxant extractor. Fortunately I have already purchased it prior to watching your video. Now I feel I very confident in my choice. Thanks!
Hey man, just to address your final comment - yes, this definitely helped, the detail you went into was great and gave me an idea/plan for how to conduct my first extraction this coming spring. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. :)
i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Julius Jeremy i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yesterday I was thinking " I have to look for a video from start to finish about extracting ".Video well done and well edited. I am glad I found your channel .I am self educating myself about bee and eventually I will be an " apiculteur "Merci beaucoup.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and share such kind words. Enjoy your journey into beekeeping! It's not always easy, but is one of the great joys of our homestead. God bless!
6 hives, but 57 supers of honey... almost 10 honey supers per hive? Thats amazing. I assume thats all total for the season. Very exciting topic. I became addicted to beekeeping from the first introduction at a zoo. Great video... and maxant should pay you. :)
We use 8 frame bodies and pulled from 8 hives. Ha! That would be nice if Maxant did, but I'm happy just to point people to quality products sold at a reasonable price.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Really glad to hear that the video might be of help for someone. I know when we were preparing to extract we had to look for bits and pieces of information all over the place, so we wanted to try and put things in one place. Happy beekeeping!
Bought some of the honey last weekend. I haven't had honey like that since I was a child. The flavor was unlike anything I can find in the store. Both delicious and beautiful. It was like a time machine, bringing back memories of my childhood when pure honey was readily available and we used it on so many things. I am very impressed, and fascinated, by the process that went into bringing this honey to market. I hope you won't find it rude if I ask a few questions: Was the whole family involved? How did you learn how to do this? UA-cam? Books? I see it was a sizable investment. Do you imagine this investment paying for itself? How many harvests will you get per year? Thank you for posting this video. I'm thrilled to see your subs going up. God bless.
Thanks, Scott - wonderful feedback about the honey, pretty amazing feedback actually! Not rude at all to ask questions! Yes, aside from our oldest daughter who was on a mission trip, everyone helped with at least some part of the processing, bottling, or wax rendering. Chantal and Isaac were the most involved in the hive work with the actual bees. As to learning how to do it, I would say it was a combination of books, online articles, and definitely UA-cam videos. The reason we wanted to make this video however, was that we hadn't seen any that really covered the entire process. So we had to watch a bunch of different videos about different aspects of the process as well as things not to do like putting out equipment for the bees to clean up. Yes, beekeeping has a REALLY big up front investment, including the cost of the bees if you can't raise your own. All of the equipment does get expensive, but assuming all of the honey sells (now and in the future), it should eventually pay for itself. As to honey harvests, we are probably more conservative than some beekeepers. This is our third summer with bees and first honey harvests. We might be able to get another harvest at the end of summer, but have to leave the bees enough honey to get through winter. We actually had many more frames of uncapped honey that we decided to leave for a future harvest. We'll see how things go because this is the time of year when nectar producing flowers are less prevalent. Thanks for asking the questions - happy to share information about the bees! Blessings to you and yours!
For cleaning my tools I first use a little bit of water to remove most of the honey, this water/honey solution I then use for making mead (honey wine). When most of the honey is removed, then I use some detergents.
Question- I am trying to find the type of bee guide/separator lid you use to have the bees 'move down', what is it called? after numerous searches- I still cannot seem to find what it is. Can you point me to a site that sells them? Or, at least, let me know the correct name for it so I can search for it more easily? Thanks!
Great presentation. Reinforced the practices that we use. One question, do you ever have any requirement to reverse the frames in the extractor to get more honey thrown out?
You suggest removing the wax debris that might accumulate (like snow) below the hives once you return the empty frames to the hive. How do you clean that up? (Great video, I've saved and subscribed!)
Amazing! You really got the bee thing figured out. Really appreciate you take a step by step approach on this. Makes me really want to get into bees. Looks like it can be a messy job. Is this similar to when I eat pancakes. I seem to find syrup on me the rest of the day. :)
Life in Farmland 😂😂😂 YES!!! You and I are just about alike. With the kids helping, we were pretty much finding honey spots everywhere for a couple of days! But man was it worth it - the honey is amazing!
Life in Farmland You might want to consider building a swarm trap next spring. They're easy to build and great for free bees. Or I'd love to hang one of mine at your place!
Thanks for the feedback. Hope to have more this summer - but there is a long story - mostly that as the main person doing our videos, I've recently been diagnosed with a very rare disease (have probably had it a long time) that brings with it one symptom of having particularly bad allergic responses to bee stings (anaphylaxis). Hoping to start Venom Immunotherapy Treatment this summer - until then, I'm not as excited to get around the bees.
I Love You video 👍it was very informative, end Easy to understand, 👍I want to get into beekeeping ,your video has help me 😀a lot to make a 😲decision. GOD🙏🙏 bless you. EDUARDO MIAMI FL 🇺🇸
Becker's Backyard Homestead Thanks! Yes we were really happy with the amount and quality of the honey. Here's to hoping you guys also have a great harvest!
Wow, many thanks indeed for that fantastic run-through of how honey and wax are extracted from the hive. I also wish to thank you for the guidance around the extracted volumes of both honey and wax that you gave. I have been advised that oil can be extracted from the honey. Is this true and if so, would mind sharing any information about how this is done? Regards and God bless you, Martin Roy
Oh btw, I am from Uganda and together with my wife, we own a 5-acre passion fruit orchard and wish to enter the bee rearing activity to certainly enhance the pollination of passion flowers but as well, earn an extra buck from primary production of honey. I was very happy to find your video on UA-cam and had to play it over and over again, just to listen to every detail you spoke above. Kindly share you email address with me on lukwagoroy@gmail.com and I will share the pics and video of our orchard. Cheers and God bless, Martin Roy.
Really nice video. I subscribed and will be watching your other videos. Your property is beautiful. I just bought 9 acres in the mountains in the south of Brazil, and I can't wait to get started organic farming and beekeeping. I'll be moving there in May. What do you recommend as a good educational resource for someone that knows nothing about beekeeping?
Thank you for watching and subscribing. The property in Brazil sounds incredible. As to information about beekeeping, I'd say everything from everywhere you can - I believe the old saying is ask ten beekeepers a question and get at least eleven answers. But this is a good site: www.bushfarms.com/bees.htm Not going to lie, beekeeping is both amazing and very challenging. It's also expensive. Equipment and bee costs add up quickly, and then it's hard when you lose them, which you will do eventually. Ahh, but the reward is awesome if you get it. I guess I'd also look to see if Africanized Bees are an issue in Brazil. And follow beekeepers on Instagram - you can learn a lot there actually. OK, best wishes and God bless you for your work with orphanages!
Thanks so much for your reply.I'll check out that website. I've ben watching so many videos and reading a lot of resources, but I guess the learning will truly start when I get hands on. I went to your website and read all about what you're doing. I love it. I sent you guys an email. Blessings

Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Kyree Zayd happy to help =)
Great clip, I likes the stats you included. One of the best introduction to honey extraction I’ve seen
One of the better videos explaining the entire process. Thank you. Just heightened my interest in starting an apiary.
Thank you for the feedback. Best wishes for the New Year - especially if you begin the adventure of beekeeping!
Thanks for the video. Very complete.
Best honey processing video I have seen!

Thank you! God bless!
This was great! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to put it together.
Thank you! We hoped it would be helpful. We're grateful you took the time to comment. God bless!
Great video and lots of good information. Thank you for taking the time to help us newbies out. Much appreciated.

What a great video! Thanks for a great explanation of the 3100 extractor.
Thank you! And thank you for producing such fine American made equipment!
Outstanding video. Clear, to the point, valuable information. Thank You! Never boring. Good job.
Thank you! God bless!
Great job and excellent content, thanks!
Those Mimosa Trees in the back BEES LOVE EM 6:07 That where i set swarm traps > rite on a branch near the trunk
Do you return the supers that you have extracted above or below the queen excluder for cleaning?
Nicely done video with very good information. Thank you
Glad it could be of help - thanks for watching!
Amazing! Thank you!
Nice job and very informative! I’m not crazy about people making videos and then saying it was their very first time. Thank you.
Do you store spare frames that have wax on it if not being used? If yes how do you keep bugs from getting on them?
Well done sir, thank you.

Great video! Very helpful
Good video! most of these guys have no idea that most of the people that are watching these videos are here for the uncapping.
great video. thanks for the tips.
Which direction are your frames facing?
Great presentation. Reinforced the practices that we use. One question, do you ever have any requirement to reverse the frames in the extractor to get more honey thrown out?
This was such a helpful video! Thank you.
Great video.
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.
Good video we just extracted a bunch

St. Isidore's Farm oh sorry to hear , green house videos will have to do . I hate getting stung and have 4 hives
How long do you spin the extractor for?
How many bee hives do you plan kinda plan to grow to?
We have 14 now. We would like to grow to about 20 and see if we can maintain that for a while before we consider having a much larger apiary.
This video was very useful! Good job 👍🏼 and Thank you for making this video!
He=Extracting Honey
Me=Mom!
Do bees get squished in the process of taking the super frames out etc.?
Not if you're careful.
Thanks St. Isidore's Farm! That's great. I only want to purchase from local beekeepers that support safe practices.
Put 9 frames in honey supers ! They build out
Amazing!comparing bee keeping in India specially North East India, there,a curve of difference.we don, t get tools kit out here.
learned a lot from your video and enjoyed it keep up the good work. I am starting bee this year thanks for the info.
Thank you for the feedback. Best wishes - enjoy your bees!

You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. To my knowledge there is no oil in honey. God bless!
Link on how, where to buy machine
thanks for this video i learned a lot :-) where did you buy your honey extractor and how much, if i may ask :-) thanks again :-)
Maxant and good question on the price - should remember, but don't. Sorry!
Awesome

This is solid
The best
Hi, our company is a honey appliance export company. The price of the machine shown in the video is lower. If you are interested, you can contact me
So we consume microplastic honey? 😳
CAN YOU MAKE UNSWEETENED HONEY?
Wal mart has them beside the left handed dildos.
$145 for couple of huge plastic containers? You must be some kind of a unique mind or a millionaire.
Jackson Carlo Ollero Well, that’s why we didn’t buy them. Thanks for watching.
That bag of honey looks like some sort of animal viscera haha
Why not just put bricks on the feet.
They wouldn't be heavy enough. It would still move and likely shake them off very quickly.
cool remeber to not take al the honey of the bees
yohjo kromwood Yes, we left all of the hives plenty of honey, plus the still have a few months to gather more nectar.
Cameraman is drunk?
