- Even though our bees didn't make it through the winter, they still supplied us with over a gallon of honey. Our new bees will be here in a few weeks, we will try again.

I did this my 2nd year after my bees absconded and had lots of bur comb all over the frames. What I did was put it in the oven on the lowest setting for a couple of hours and then shut the oven off and let it completely cool. I was then able to remove all the wax in one effort with no wax in the honey.
Hey, not sure why your video landed in my feed but Im glad it did, loved it. Thanks for sharing
Interesting process. Looks like you got a ton of honey there.
This is fantastic. Sorry to hear about the bees.
It's after midnight here now and I am craving a bunch of honey now!😂
Ok... I see how you are.. one peanut butter and honey sandwich after midnight. That must happen now!😂👍
Use a stick with a screw in the center over the pot to hold the frame on. I mark where the stick sits on the pot cut notches in to make it steady.
You should use a screen sieve ( I call them strainers) that would make it so much easier to separate wax from honey. That way it is faster and you wouldn't need to heat it. You use cheesecloth when putting it into the jars so why not use the sieve to drain the honey you scrape from the frames. Work smart not hard is my motto.
How long did you heat it up and at what temp, I just came back from Africa with some and I’m needing to separate the wax from my honey but I don’t want you over cook it
So the wax will not mix with the honey? I want to melt the comb that broke from the honey frames to use to wax plastic foundations.
Sir does it effect the wuality of honey
So much. What, are you feeding bears? Cool video though.
I thowt u have to wait for the wax to rise to the surface and leave honey below
I use camping mats to insulate my hives in winter.
Well that’s sweet honey!! 😁
Have you looked into Electro Magnetic Frequency radiation to at least be a factor in your Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)? Do you live anywhere near a cell tower? This causes major health issues for people and the research is coming in that it may greatly effect our bee populations.
Why did the bees perish? it wasn't because they were missing a gallon of honey, was it? Do you know the cause i.e. bear attack, hive beetle?
We think they froze. Where we live hives generally have a 50% chance of surviving rhe winter. We took the honey in the spring, after the hive had already died.
