Me again, the crazy one from across the pond. I do this but surprise surprise I do it differently. I place a wire queen excluder underneath the super that I am going to use for jars. This way I get to place a frame between each row of jars enabling me to get extra honey from the space. And you don't destroy a crown board. BTW the good ideas you have I steal.
So if I get it right the bees have full access to the supper, right ? They can choose to go in the jars, on the frame, or build anywhere else ? If that's so, how do you visit the hive if needed ? Thanks !
That's a great idea... unfortunate for me, they are an expensive habit... My first nibble on the actual honeycomb itself caused an addiction that is hard to shake... sometimes i wonder if i was a bear in my previous life, lol
Great way to sell honey. I've seen lot of beekeepers putting honey comb in a jar and filling it up with honey, but this is the best way I have ever seen. I was always interested in beekeeping, but unfortunately I am highly allergic to bees. I only wish they would find a cure to get rid of this allergy. I am so intrigued with beekeeping. Always watching videos.
This is a really good idea. I know you said it wasn't your original, but this was super helpful. I have been trying to figure out how I wanted to do chunk honey next year, this solves the problem.
He has actually shown the finished product. Most videos I've seen on this only show the idea and never the finished product. I've done comb honey for years and it's my favorite. The cutting and putting in containers is quite a pain. The mason jars are almost the same price as comb containers sold by the suppliers. He did a nice job putting this together
I flat out cut the whole comb from the hiveframe and place it in a square bag and just tie it off with a cute bow lol and then i usually give it away as a rewards for donating to help the local bees
An excellent method, I loved it. Thank you for it. Filling the jar directly from the bees with honey, adding you to fill it with honey, a hundred percent civil and commercial method. I wish you success and success forward.
incredible wonderful nature! You did a fantastic video showing this. We truly appreciate the fact that you set them in the freezer to make sure nothing harmful is in there before proceeding to fill with honey. Just a super great video showing God's brilliant incredible design.
It’s not my invention. I saw it in a Costco a few years back. Someone was already packaging the concept up and selling it. I just made my own and modified it a bit.
I've also seen complete #fails also, so we didn't have high hopes, but our bees got it done. I think you really need a strong colony and a good nectar flow.
Well , i put 20 small mouth pints on a 10 frame hive yesterday! We'll see how they do! Am building a super for another hive that i will use wide mouth jars on! Have severall ross round tops on some hives and a flowhive, so i dont have to lift heavy boxes of honey supers. Also 10 layens 20 frame insulated hives, for extracting for filling these jars, and making mead. Just lift out frames on them too, so trying to make things better for me as i get older. Right now still strong enough at 68, but time marches on! Lol
Hello Black Mountain Honey! We love both Bohemia Bees and BMH. Bohemia Bees we are using your method for honey comb in a jar this season! Seems so simple.
Not really because there isn’t much stored honey in the jar. If crushed maybe 1/4 of the jar. So we fill them to give our customers more of the same honey just from an extracted frame. We tried to offer a few I filled and our customers bought the filled ones first.
As someone that does pest control, I appreciatethis video & your efforts & showed me that allot of customers that have hives, tells me just how little effort most put into raising bees for honey! We as humans are very ignorant & out of touch of the big picture & how we are all dependent on every living thing around us!

Brill 💡 idea! But, the small honeycomb structures in the jar (2-3 max each jar) are made of inedible bee's wax! How do you empty the jar completely of honey but leave all the wax? Maybe microwave/heat jar until all contents melt then wait for wax to float to the top, When wax solidifies, peel off and save/return to bee keeper!?
boy, if these had been my bees I would have been stung by hundreds of bees. I could never approach my hives without being suited up but your process is very interesting.
Yeah every hive is different. You need to watch and learn your bees disposition. It also can change throughout year. But genetics, weather, flow, all are a factor.
I learned that bees store honey in the bottom box for their survival for the winter, do we put a container in that box for the bees to put their honey? I learned that bees lay eggs for baby bees in bottom box, what Am I suppose to do in those bottom boxes that are under neat that top box that contains glass jars for the honey we harvest?
Hello, I am a person who raises honeybees in Korea. Thankfully, I enjoyed the video. I have a few questions, so I'm asking. You made the honey jar thick with wax, so how thick should I apply No.1? No.2 Is it possible regardless of whether you push or not? No. 3 If you put honey in a honeycomb bottle, doesn't the honeycomb get soft? I appreciated the video.
The wax on the bottom isn’t necessary. We thought we needed to put wax for the bees to attach comb to but they attached it without using it. So we won’t use it again this season. I’m sure that the comb once flooded with honey will become slightly softer so that’s up to you if you fill after or just leave unfilled. We are doing both this year.
Think you could make one more plate with the 9 holes in it just like the other one. Put on some spacers and position it to support the jars higher up and add some handles so it's easy to remove again.
Hi Jason, could you please let me know any trick how to "force" the bees to make honeycombs in the jars? Bees are strong, I have the most of the frames full of honey, but they ignore the jars completelly :(
Hello. It’s 1part strong hive, 1part heavy flow, 1part patience. Seriously though you can put a small amount of wax on bottom of jar but that doesn’t seem to make a difference. If they don’t want to move up they won’t.
@matesakoid, thanks for your post! I was just going to ask the same question. I have two of these set ups. One has lots of bees in the jars but no appearance of comb building. The other, well that was a different story. Let's just say that a double deep with 3 frames of bees isn't going to cut it. I'm having the same problem with Ross Rounds. Here in Central New York the weather has been unusually dry for this time of year. Maybe that's a contributing factor too.
Thanks for supporting. No crystallized honey occurs when one of the sugar molecules in the starts to crystallize and spreads through the rest of the container. This is usually caused by glucose because it’s more unstable than fructose. Here is an older video we made explaining it. ua-cam.com/video/B2P6Zg3HM-A/v-deo.html
Love it... 'Beekeeping is more than a hobby. It's an obsession.'
Yes it is
When I was a kid I tried making honey by catching bees in a jar. I was laughed at. Looks like you figured it out. ❤it
lol sort of. I’m catching honey in a jar.
You aren't the sharpest tool in the shed are you 😂😂
@@oliewray8357 yeah tru but he doing the lords work

@@BohemiaBees how long does it take to fill the jars?
How do you get such light golden honey? It’s beautiful.

Totally understand
Profitable if you sell at farmers market or to vendors even mom and pop gift shops

We are so grateful for the support it’s the least we can do. Sometimes we miss but try not to.
BEAUTIFUL comb honey. I'll pay twice as much for that pint jar. That is "ship in a bottle" art/craftsmanship.
yah, sell the bottle, (without adding any extra honey).
Awesome, wonderful idea that scared me a lot😇✌🌿👍
neat gifting idea. I think I'll give it a shot this year. thanks for sharing your experience with it.
Good luck 👍🏻

Awesome idea
Thanks a lot
Finally, someone came up with the idea to do it right in the jars! Soon everyone will do this. You'd better patent your invention.
It’s not my invention. I saw it in a Costco a few years back. Someone was already packaging the concept up and selling it. I just made my own and modified it a bit.
Wow cool i bet its so fun and peaceful cearing for honey bee colony
It is
Great video thank you
Awesome Thanks for Sharing
Thanks for commenting
Dang, my bee hobby is currently running out of control, now I gotta do this!!! Awesome idea thank you for sharing!!!
lol, sorry. Just gave you another project!! good luck!!
Such a cool idea. Also would make a great gift.
Yes it would. That’s why many of our customers are buying them
Nice meeting you tonight. I definitely want to try this this year very cool. Never seen this before.
Nice to meet you also. Thanks again for moderating!
You can hear the snap of the seal breaking from the honey box. Saving time freezing too priceless
its a original idea. its fantastic!
Thanks for the support
Absolutely amazing!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for all the support!
I've seen others try this and not be successful at it. So glad your bees did the job. And a beautiful job at that
I've also seen complete #fails also, so we didn't have high hopes, but our bees got it done. I think you really need a strong colony and a good nectar flow.
what promotes a strong colony? when you shake the jars, they didn’t become aggressive. is that normal?
Omg super idea, good job congratulations...

By now I'll assume you are 69. I'm 71 and not getting any younger. I will echo the heavy lifting as my fleet of long Langstroth hives is increasing!
thats really cool!
It looks so delicious but I must admit that I prefer the honey on its own and the wax as a polish or balm.
So cool.
Thank you.
Excellent
Thanks for the support
When you first set it up, what goes in the jar?
We use to melt wax to give them a start point we no longer do that as we found it’s not needed
@@BohemiaBees okay, thanks! I want to start bee keeping but I want to build my own place for the bees
Brilliant
Thank you for the support
🙂 The honey comb looks great in the honey jars 👍
We also think so

How are you liking your mason jar collecting?
How did you get all the bees out of the jars?
Quick shake forced them out.
Merci beaucoup pour cette incroyable leçon🙏🙏🙏

Hello video của bạn chia sẻ rất hay
That is so clever and cool i would absolutely buy that ❤ thanks for the content
Awesome idea 🐝
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Ive finished the jars off with homemade Real maple syrup as well. Oh man.... that is so tasty when you bite the comb and get a squirt of honey.
That sounds amazing
That's so neat! Pure pure comb yummy!!!
Thanks
Your method is very good. I will follow your instructions. thank you

Thank you.
So brilliant!!!
Absolutely great. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Do you cap them before freezing or freeze them with caps off?
Freeze with caps off
@@BohemiaBees Thank you
Why leave the lids on the jars?
No reason other than they tend to propolis the rim and it’s easier to clean the lid rim than the edge of glass with so close to comb honey.
I learned that bees store honey in the bottom box for their survival for the winter, do we put a container in that box for the bees to put their honey? I learned that bees lay eggs for baby bees in bottom box, what Am I suppose to do in those bottom boxes that are under neat that top box that contains glass jars for the honey we harvest?
Yes the bees do store honey in their bottom box (brood box). You would manage those brood boxes in a traditional beekeeping manor.
Grate job ❤
What's the bucket used to dispense honey at the end called?
That is a bottling tank from MAXANT
