    With all our honey frames run through the extraction process, the next step is to separate the wax from the honey, and to do this, I use our honey/wax separator. The drums are full of honey, and on top of the honey is all the wax cappings that were removed during the processing. I simply skim the layer of wax, in some cases it was over 7 inches thick, and shovel it into our honey/wax separator machine. As the machine spins around, the honey is pushed through the wax lining the drum and separates out. With the honey removed from the wax, it is then stored inside garbage cans ready to be rendered. A very interesting process, and I hope you will enjoy watching it. Until the next time, God's peace to all. Mr. Ed

    Beekeeping is often considered an "old man hobby", but I really find it fascinating already. As a gardener, it has so many advantages - besides the honey. The bees polinate your trees and plants, keep away some of the pests and you also get wax, which is an awesome material. The work is also very relaxing.

Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 500 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace C D.

    Hi Jeff.
    Isn't it amazing how much an insect can produce with utter cooperation. This year in England, despite 2 heat-waves, I have harvested 60 Kg of Summer honey from my 6 hives, which I think is pretty good going. Thanks again for your inspiration.

  • @AyaBlue22

    I remember helping my grandpa with this when I was a kid. He had about 12 hives out in the orchard, and it took us quite a while to get through all the frames, and things could get far messier than what you've shown, but I have fond memories of those times.

    @markbaker9459 2 роки тому +2

    Aloha Jeff,
    When Mark's Bee Haven was up and running, Kiawe [Mesquite] Honey was our all year long and always sold out honey. It came it at 1200 pounds every two weeks from the 20 hives I had in the Kiawe Honey Forest of South Kohala. Being a 'fast crystallizing honey' the Kiawe needed to be extracted the same morning /afternoon it was taken from the bees or it would thicken and not extract very well from the frames. Once each super was extracted, it now had to sit and cool and each super yielded a 5gallon bucket full or 60 pounds of honey. After 3 days, the honey was now 'rock hard and stable, but needed to be crushed [our market share was for Raw, Local, Natural Honeys so our honeys, all 24 types were never 'heated'] and with the now 1200 pounds needing to be bottled, this was done by running it all through a Homogenizer with no heat. This left it Smooth as butter for bottling.
    I averaged 12 pounds of beeswax each harvest which was loaded into a Solar Melter to be collected. None of our little honey kitchen was so automated as your nice set up, which begs the answer: How many hives do you have? We only had a total of 220 hives across 40,000 acres covering 6 climate zones of 'gifted' lands, forests, range, and farms. No one 'pays for pollination in any part of Hawaii.

    You need a steel scoop like those used for animal feed. The handle is over top of the scooo rather than behind it making it much easier to get leverage. It’s also far more substantial, though not much heavier, than a plastic scoop like you’re using.

    There was a lot of soft wax still on top of the honey in the buckets, I don't know a lot about beekeeping but 'dirty' honey like that would make for an excellent winter supplement for beehives if their stocks run low ?

      Simply by using a sheet of Seran Wrap and placing it over the "soft wax" on the surface, and lifting it, all of it comes off and that's what I give to the bees.

    • @JeffHorchoff

    Baked cookies indeed!
    Too bad you don't have any Flow Hive extractors instead--could be great fun to have Tourists--for a small fee--be able to do mini extractions over the season--then the bees would do all the wax processing for you!!
    Mr. Ed, I do love all your videos, you've got so much enthusiasm for your wonderful bees!
    How much did your extractor cost you?
    I love bees too, so much that I bought a Flow Hive and gave it to an Apiary here near Ottawa Canada so that I could have the "extracting" experience too.
    So I imagine that there would be visitors and tourists, who'd love to have that experience too.

    Surely it would make better sense to use a tap at the bottom of the tank to remove the honey from the barrel as all the wax has floated to the top, you would then be able to empty the barrel into the extractor as it would contain only the cappings and a little bit of honey

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  2 роки тому

      There is a tap at the bottom of the drum, but the time used to transfer the honey into another drum is far greater than removing the cappings right from the top of the drum.

The cost is $10.00 for a one pound, plastic bottle, and $9.00 for shipping. If you want more than one bottle, the shipping cost is still $9.00 for up to 2 bottles, but each bottle is still $10.00. As soon as I get your check, I will send it out. Make the check out to St. Joseph Abbey but send the letter to:
