I wasn’t able to get much honey this year just a couple gallons ,I lost most of my hives last year but I was able to build up to 10 hives and they can enjoy what they have stored all for the winter i enjoy your videos keep up the good work👍
@@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer yes that was my conclusion mites ,,a few were destroyed by mice to do my fault I forgot the mouse guards but I have invested in a pro V1 10 so I can do better treatments this year I’ll keep you posted on how they do in the spring
I built a honey warmer fir pouring honey into jars. I started using it to warm the capping in a screen to heat up the honey and wax the honey flow easier and I can extract more honey typically it means about 10 more pounds of honey to sell
How do you clean those sieves used on top of the pails? Maybe you didn't get any melted wax on them. Cleaning stuff and keeping your hands from being a sticky mess is a constant chore.
Its a good point. I only use the plastic sieves when I am dealing with solid wax. this is just cool enough not to block the sieves. I use a melt sieve when dealing with melted wax.
The 15 gallons of water are in the double wall of the wax melter. The heating element heats the water in this jacket. The honey coming out is not raw honey. (but much better than lost honey!

Thanks for the support. When a lot of hives are lost look first at mite control and see if might have been done better. Most common cause.

Higher temperatures are certainly helpful.

That oven. What’s it’s name? I’d like to buy my dad does this as a hobby and I want to gift him that oven
Where did the 15 gallons of water go? Isn't the temperature to stay below 114 degrees or the benefits of raw honey lost?

@@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer Cool. Have seen all the wax extraction done with water, not extracting honey. It appeared to be going into vat.
