Dear Horrible Comment Leavers... Take this for what it is. A fairly new beekeeper harvesting honey the best way that he knows how. I think it is marvelous. I think it is wonderful. I think that anybody who is keeping bees is my brother and he should be treated with a little respect. If you want to ragg on someone, ragg on Monsanto, ragg on big agrobusiness, ragg on mono culture farming, ragg on the government that has sold you out. Let's try to keep some perspective here. We will never make any progress as long as we criticize each other for the small things and fail to see that those of us who are involved in things like this are really on the same team. Save your sly criticism for the ones who have enslaved you. Oh yeah and by the way, it is nice to see the supportive comments. You all keep it up please. You are the ones that will change the world for the better.
I was just about to tell the "experts" to leave the guy alone. It is his honey, he can do whatever he wants with it. His extraction method works for him. I see a lot of beekeepers doing it this way. If his bees are producing that much he is obviously doing something right to keep the hive healthy and productive. I only use honeycomb, but if I wanted honey I would probably do it this way, especially as I use foundation less frames. So if the only thing you have to offer is non constructive criticism, take it elsewhere. We need to be encouraging people to become beekeepers, not tearing them apart because they don't do things you way. By the way, the videos I have seen of people doing it this way, they scoop the honey directly from the frame into the round bucket. So if you don't have anything nice to say....
You'd think someone who is at a point that he can setup and maintain a hive that is this productive would have educated himself as to the proper method of extraction. There is a huge difference between a new beekeeper and an ignorant beekeeper.
Can you melt back down the wax. Heat the wax back up in like a crock pot and roll it on with a paint roller on a clean board? So the bees don’t have to start from fresh?
That looks SO nice and clean, I'm pretty impressed, it looks just fabulous! I'm not much of a honey eater, but it has SO many benefits, including health, when bought from local farms. I live in the city, not a huge city, but no land really. I am trying to find a way to have a small hive, I want to help the environment (but I don't want anything large enough to terrify my neighbors) I've seen the Flow Hive, and I love what I've seen of it, it's just too big for my little yard. Keep up the great work, seriously!
DD WHO ELSE THINKS THAT THIS IS A LITTLE GROSS CUZ LOOK AT DAT HONEEY AND I KNOW ITS YUMMY BUT IT KINDA LOOKS GROSS A LITTLE BUT STILL VERY SATISFYING :3333
+Jimbus Mapping i was going to say the same thing but u beat me to it. =/ Also i wish it showed him doing the other side D: I have to loop this now for my enjoyment.
That looks amazing. Most of the honey sold in stores aren't actually real honey. I would like to try honey straight from a hive once I'm sure it's probably way better then store bought
Dont get me wrong i love honey but a part of me wonders, what made a person look at a bee hive and say "yeah lets open that thing and eat whatever is inside"
In some countries people eat moths and larvae inside hives by smoking and opening it. Someone was very, very hungry and found a pleasant surprise alongside his bugs when he went for a bee hive.
Reson to use extractor is to not destroy the cells to save time and make sure Bees will focus on making honey not on building new cells first. But its all the learning process. That’s a very nice movie ! Well done ! All the best wishes !
Quick question for you: after using the extractor I assume honey runs all over the frame…..do you wash the frame or put it back all sticky? This is our first year and we are learning as we go. Our goal is to let the bees eat their own food as we have a short warm season in Oregon. Thank you in advance!
Ruby Cookiez The Flow Hive isn't actually the best way to farm honey. There are some problems with it: 1. You can't open it like a normal hive to inspect the bees (looking for harmful parasites or foul brood) 3. you cant see, if the honey is fully capped (only capped honey can't go bad. Uncapped honey has too high of a water content and can go bad. 3. When harvesting the honey in the FH, the caps on the cells don't get opened and the bees don't know that the capped cells don't contain honey anymore and could starve in the winter. I'm sure there are more problems with the flow hive, but this are the most important ones, I guess.
I know this comment is from 6 months ago, but FlowHive just released a new model called the FlowHive Hybrid. It now has a way to deal with parasites and you can now traditionally harvest honeycomb. They have 2 videos concerning the new model.
This is great! I love honey, and have always wanted to try honeycomb and honey together, thought it's expensive, and I need to wait cause my mother's money is low, but it's worth the wait!
I want to scrape a long strip of that honey/beehive mix off the frame and just eat it. I'm not sure if it's edible, but it looks like it would just feel so good to chew it/taste it.
Eating fresh honey is one of life's purest enjoyments. After you've tried it straight from the comb you never want to go back to the processed store-bought kind again.
Sorry if i may sound stupid, but i am just discovering about bees and i would like to know, if this is a comb wouldnt there be larvae in there? Or are their multiple frames and only some are with larvae and some with honey
+Ya doodles A late reply, but lots of beekeepers will use a screen called a queen excluder between the bottom and top boxes in a hive. The spaces in the screen are big enough for the workers to pass through but too small for the queen. This keeps the queen and brood (eggs, larvae, etc) in the bottom boxes and the workers fill the top boxes with honey.
OMG I can't watch! You just destroyed that frame. You can get basic two frame centrifugal extractors for $180, pop that frame back in and they will fill it back up. Not to mention it takes FOREVER to gravity feed it through a mesh filter when it has all the wax in it.
Maybe I was a little harsh :-/ Everyone starts small, including myself, I still am small at only 3 hives. I sacrificed protective clothing in the beginning to make sure I had enough for an extractor from the start. As I made money selling honey I was able to purchase good protective gear and better tools. If you want to use that wax I highly recommend melting it down, filtering with cheese cloth and making lip balm and candles. Love the lip balm! recipes and instructions can be found online. I have used this method with dead hives going into winter. Frames from the brood boxes that have a combination of capped honey, pollen and dead brood can't be spun. scrape the honey off like above and dispose of the rest. I hate loosing a hive in late fall, early winter, it's too late to make a split and if you leave the hive unoccupied wax moths will destroy the comb and the pollen will mold. You have to take what you can get and start fresh in the spring.
Big Ol Internet Troll Yes, you can. But he destroyed a lot of the honeycomb in the process so it will take a long while for the bees to make more honey because honeycomb is essentially their home. They have to rebuild that before they produce mass amounts of honey.
I wish I liked honey. I love watching it harvested, it's so calming and satisfying to watch it being scraped and poured. I just can't enjoy the taste no matter how hard I try.
In reality this is not cheaper. It takes 8 pounds of honey to make one pound of wax. Why not get one of those cheap extractors,and it pays for itself multiple times when you use it. The bees refill the supers quicker, and you gain a higher yield per super.
My friend, I don't usually get advice from disney films, but here I'd give you some. Jack Sparrow Once said there's only two things that matter, what a man can do, and what a man can't do. Beekeeping is a hard hobby to set up. People who aren't particularly wealthy blow a ton in one go just to get the hive, much less the basic tools. By the time that's all done even a couple hundred bucks could blow normal people away. I can't speak for this man of course, but I note he does have foundation. Because of this, when he gets extra money, he can buy a use the extractor on his own time. You make your statement as though this method was wasteful and caused a loss, and your right. But you must realize, for most people, beekeeping is a loss anyway, if you count money. You spend a ton for the sake of fun and honey. Financially, its a disaster. And so, again, you can only spend what you can spend. ps. I know nothing about the person in this video. I was just stating what came to mind when reading this comment.
MrBagginsEsq "Financially, its a disaster" We keep two hives, sell $300-$400 per year to acquaintances and friends and still have enough left over to use in baking, cooking and coffee every morning. If you do it half assed it will be a disaster, if you do it right it pays for itself and more.
The internet is chocked full of new beekeepers trying to re-invent the wheel. They start small but if you're a good beekeeper you end up doubling and tripling in size within three years and this method of scraping frames becomes unmanageable. Imagine having 15 full boxes with 150 frames like the one in this video. Now imagine having to extract them and put them all back to get re-filled real quick before the bees notice they lost a whole box worth of working space. It gets to be a juggling act.
Distressing to me. Watching them destroy the comb. So much more work for the Bees. They watching a few Bees flying around distraught about it all, not knowing how to stop it...watching they're food source being stolen, panicked about how they're going to feed the colony. Especially not knowing if the Bee keepers are stupid or not These two chuckers happen to be stupid.
That's exactly what the Burt's Bees company does when making chapstick. They filter the honey into jars and they use the comb for the balm which is used to heal dry, cracked, or chapped lips.Those people are pretty clever.
I use Burt's Bees sometimes, also Shea butter for some of those issues. Just depends on the issue and severity. 😏 Can't wait until we get to move to the family farm, husband retires from the military in 2 yrs. (20 yr run) Then I'll be able to have my own hives. 🐝
They don't care. Their only concern is home invasion. Destroying the home of hundreds, taking what they want, the hard work of others. For their toast. ENTITLES
I find it funny that the most satisfying video in the world isn't called the most satisfying video in the world. My god I could watch this for hours...
Uhhg its so frustrating to watch people clumsily do things without thinking things through first... pouring anything from a wide shallow square pan into a small circular container just does not work...that frame was narrow enough to be scraped off into a 5 gallon bucket, cleanly and neatly and then youd have it all contained into a bucket to then let filter into another bucket... whos idea was it to dump all the honey on to a 1 inch deep baking pan? That was hard to watch... but then again I think things through and cant stand a mess.. plus I have exoerience in a commercial kitchen
I buy raw honey directly from a beekeeper in Oregon via Ebay....my favorite is their blackberry honey. It has a fruity taste to it that's just fantastic! Raw honey may SEEM expensive but it's actually a better for you than the store bought stuff (with expiration dates no less!) and you can buy larger quantities directly from a beekeeper.
Beautiful 😊. Summer harvest I'm assuming. I get tempted to ask what kind of flowers mostly but I've just recently started taking an interest in honey along with my tea hobbie. I've been invited on a harvest this summer. First one ever and it will be great.
in one hive is honey bond the bottom box is empty frames other boxes are brood or honey question is the bottom box that have empty frames are they in right order
how long did it take to produce that 1 frame of honey I am thinking of trying bee farming but want to know how long until I will be able to make my money back
+lilman dennis from what I've read it is really difficult to make much profit from honey without a lot of boxes and time. The amount of time it takes to fill a super varies dramatically depending on the weather, temperature, and environment. It could be a couple days or a few months.
yeah, it's gotta be. unfortunate that the comb is destroyed with this method. if it wasn't the bees would just fill the cells again instead of having to rebuild.
I have a question and plz reply, if your scraping the honey off and feel hungry could you just get the honey in the box and eat it, or do you have to do something before you can eat it
Yes you can just eat it. Most of the time it is filtered to some degree because it still has honeycomb (beeswax) in it, but you can eat it all right now
How long has this guy been doing this. if he used an extractor that would be filled back with honey in 2 weeks, now the bees have to make all new wax comp. SUCH A WASTE. too cheap to buy a $200 extractor.
***** I can't say I disagree with what you said. But I have thought maybe it would be a good idea to use the honey comb to be the next year brood comb. And last year brood comb to be melted.
Michael kruegerThere are 3 strainers , the are for gold mining, look up keene engineering classifiers. they come in quite a few size's , I'd say the top is 1/4in, the next is 1/8in and the last is like 100 mesh. not 100% sure but probably close enough. hope it helps !.
+frantz yo Yes you can. I have no idea why the other person said you can't. It's just got comb in it before filtering but I don't mind light comb at all.
Well first you can eat it, second it's extremely hard-impossible to remove wax without wasting any honey and third they strained it if you even watched the video
+connor coutts Put it on biscuits. Sweeten your oatmeal or your grits. An ingredient in cooking recipes. Use it for medicinal purposes, even a topical solution for skin ailments. Natural honey is the perfect food
+connor coutts I filter it down to get the wax out and then bottle it and eat it all year long. Its extremely healthy to eat, use in all your cooking as a sugar substitute. Makes good gifts for friends or family also.
+way22good1 you guys make me hate living in the city! Had i known about the beauty and elegance of natures little beauties back when i owned a home in the countryside then i would be doing this full time!! Alas, i guess i'll live vicariously through these You Tube bee gurus!
I Let it all run through a set of strainers that sit on top of a five gallon bucket On a good warm day the honey all separates from the waxand does a great job of it.
Its so satasfying watching the honey being scraped.
*satisfying
sorry just wanted to help
it is really satisfying though
You've seen that vid
it was just perfect :)

It also means the bees have to re-build all of the comb (it takes 10 oz of honey to make 1 oz of wax).

there are not as rich country's and the bees make the hive on branches, and probaly some of the honey leaking and tried it liked it and harvested it?

It's rebuilt by the bees. :)
how you got the bees

how long does it take for bees to fill one double side frame of honey? do they work 24 hrs or do they get Christmas hoildays lol.?

the only bad thing about not spinning the honey out is the bees have to rebuild all that comb.

Im sure they will learn from their mistakes and do a better job next time. Give them a break its their first time
awesome video, but I am wondering, why didn't you just scrape the honey into the bucket? Is there something i am missing? Sorry I do not own bees lol
These things have been bizz-y... xD
Punintended
So, does this have any of the flavor of your average store-bought honey (which is NOT tasty to me)?
Much better than any store bought honey
I buy raw honey directly from a beekeeper in Oregon via Ebay....my favorite is their blackberry honey. It has a fruity taste to it that's just fantastic! Raw honey may SEEM expensive but it's actually a better for you than the store bought stuff (with expiration dates no less!) and you can buy larger quantities directly from a beekeeper.
I heard a bee in the video and thought it was by my ear
Hahaha we've heard that from a couple people now!
Me too
you imagine how much honey there was in the wild before humans began to harvest it? It's like a sweet hidden treasure, it looks so satisfying lol
So satisfying 😍😍
+Nyani -chan Thanks!
Beautiful 😊. Summer harvest I'm assuming. I get tempted to ask what kind of flowers mostly but I've just recently started taking an interest in honey along with my tea hobbie. I've been invited on a harvest this summer. First one ever and it will be great.
Hope you have fun! Thanks for watching!

Now I want some honey cone
comb*****
+Jose Gracia thanks
+glob was here! it's good stuff!
way22good1 Right!
its fun
in one hive is honey bond the bottom box is empty frames other boxes are brood or honey question is the bottom box that have empty frames are they in right order
That looks delicious
Honey is good stuff.
so how much did this frame weigh?
So satisfying!!!😍😍😍😆😆😆
Thanks!
way22good1 it really is
how long did it take to produce that 1 frame of honey I am thinking of trying bee farming but want to know how long until I will be able to make my money back
+lilman dennis from what I've read it is really difficult to make much profit from honey without a lot of boxes and time. The amount of time it takes to fill a super varies dramatically depending on the weather, temperature, and environment. It could be a couple days or a few months.
Omg i gittered when i heard the buzzing in my left ear!
Ikr😂😂😂
Can you eat the whole comb itself? (if there are no larvae,eggs, or pollen)
You can eat honeycomb. Not everyone likes it though.
🐝🐝🐝فنان🐝🐝🐝🐝
This is plastic foundation right? I mean if it was wax how do you keep from punching through it with your spoon?
yeah, it's gotta be. unfortunate that the comb is destroyed with this method. if it wasn't the bees would just fill the cells again instead of having to rebuild.
Just think of all the mead that would make. :)
I have a question and plz reply, if your scraping the honey off and feel hungry could you just get the honey in the box and eat it, or do you have to do something before you can eat it
Yes you can just eat it. Most of the time it is filtered to some degree because it still has honeycomb (beeswax) in it, but you can eat it all right now
who else came from buzzfeed
Lol I get it
Ba dum tsss
lol
+MiguelXx3D no, its Badum TZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Fuck buzzfeed

?
what
honey its good
could the wax on top be eaten as well?
+Main 1 kinda, you can chew it like a gum and the spit the wax out.
+Kita Schi you can eat the wax
How long has this guy been doing this. if he used an extractor that would be filled back with honey in 2 weeks, now the bees have to make all new wax comp. SUCH A WASTE. too cheap to buy a $200 extractor.
More like $500
Ian Crafter You can easily get a centrifuge extractor for under $200. You can also build one for way cheaper.
I have to agree with Mike. 8 pounds of honey to make 1 pound of comb doesn't seem to be all that easy to me.
Fabs Well here they are extremely expensive
***** I can't say I disagree with what you said. But I have thought maybe it would be a good idea to use the honey comb to be the next year brood comb. And last year brood comb to be melted.
Love the way you extract the honey without any type of heat... All the enzymes still intact!
Quick questions... Do you ever feed your bees sugar?
so satisfied bye this
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! :)
+way22good1 honey I love honey
Honey is good!
+way22good1 mmmmmhhhhhh
way22good1 I'm going to try some soon
How long does it take to get a harfest like that?
very satisfying
Thank you!
Sir, did like to ask, which is ht Beewax and which is the honey?
The honey is in the beeswax that is being scraped from the frame.
Who the hell disliked this ?
Haha, thank you!
Vegans
Listening with headphones tripped me out! Nice video!
Thanks!
🍯🍯🍯
is that plastic foundation?
Ew plastic foundation!
What size mesh do you use for the strainer?
Michael kruegerThere are 3 strainers , the are for gold mining, look up keene engineering classifiers. they come in quite a few size's , I'd say the top is 1/4in, the next is 1/8in and the last is like 100 mesh. not 100% sure but probably close enough. hope it helps !.
Where do you get real honey combs cause at my super market there was honey comb but they weren't that natural cause there was sugar added
can you eat it just like that or not?
+frantz yo Yes you can. I have no idea why the other person said you can't. It's just got comb in it before filtering but I don't mind light comb at all.
+daRkmaTT3rSubSpac3 You dumb? yes you can lol.
+frantz yo would love some
Great vid but Y didn't you remove the wax first?
you can eat the wax
Well first you can eat it, second it's extremely hard-impossible to remove wax without wasting any honey and third they strained it if you even watched the video
do you do with the honey once you have got it.
+connor coutts Put it on biscuits. Sweeten your oatmeal or your grits. An ingredient in cooking recipes. Use it for medicinal purposes, even a topical solution for skin ailments. Natural honey is the perfect food
+connor coutts I filter it down to get the wax out and then bottle it and eat it all year long. Its extremely healthy to eat, use in all your cooking as a sugar substitute. Makes good gifts for friends or family also.
+way22good1 do you sell the honeys and how does it taste like?
is it OK to just eat the honeycomb too?
You can eat honeycomb. Only some people like it though.
soo cool can u actually eat the comb? I don't know nothing bout it, but this is amazing
Yeah, you can even buy bars of beeswax. It's like honey filled gum.
Sex is most important in your life
Makes alot more work for your bee's to rebuild the frames in order to make more honey. I assume you only get 1 harvest per year doing it that way
What kind of flowers?
is the honey ready to eat when he took it off the frame
It can be, but they put it through a filter
Yes, it is. They strain it, but beeswax is edible so you can just eat it like that.
I've got some 13 year old honey from my friends hives. It was jarred in 2003 and tastes soooo good
+2hrsToChooseThis Honey is good stuff!
+way22good1 you guys make me hate living in the city! Had i known about the beauty and elegance of natures little beauties back when i owned a home in the countryside then i would be doing this full time!! Alas, i guess i'll live vicariously through these You Tube bee gurus!
Bacnow yes! Thank you for watching!
How do you separate the wax from the honey?
I Let it all run through a set of strainers that sit on top of a five gallon bucket On a good warm day the honey all separates from the waxand does a great job of it.
Thank you for useful and interesting Video! I enjoy it very much!
Best greetings from Ukrainian bekeepers! Good luck, Victor
