  • Hogg Half Comb is a simple, easy way for beekeepers to produce comb honey. Comb honey is an extremely popular product and I find myself getting requests for it frequently. Comb honey is a great way to make extra money off of your bee hives.
    I found this system easy to use. The bees took to it just like they do regular frames. The most fiddly thing about it was the cassette lids. If you are a beekeeper looking to produce some of the most delicious, natural honey you can imagine, give these a try.

    Just an FYI!! I have been using this system off and on for about ten years. Yes this is an easy way for a beekeeper to harvest honey comb to sell or for personal use, but there is a step you want to do BEFORE packaging for selling!
    Put the box in the freezer over night to kill any wax moths eggs that could be there and not seen by the naked eye...
    The last thing you want to do is sell one to someone and they don't eat it right away, why I don't know, and find wax moth larvae eating there good honey!!!
    Also, I find it easier to stand the box on the wide end, remove the springs and then just slide all 40 cassettes out at once.
    After removing from freezer, make sure you let them come back to room temperature before putting on the lids. Otherwise you get condensation inside the honey containers. Won't hurt it , probably, but why take a chance...
    Had two hives this year with them on. Harvested both boxes, but not all filled. Went through all 80 boxes, pulled out the full ones and set them back on the hive.
    What a site to see here in PA where we get spring honey and very dark fall honey mixed in the same box! People were amazed at the way the bees filled up those that weren't capped and continued to fill them out and cap them!!!
    Another trick is to put a box of brood on top of the Half Hogs and the bees fill them out faster to take care of the brood.
    As for reusing tha cassettes.... not recommended. There is no way to sterilize them for reuse. You can have worlds of trouble is you would do that and someone got sick!!!
    Is it worth the $100.00 cost to purchase a new set of cassettes where you might get sued for trying to save a little money? Not for me!!! I would use once and discard....
    Regards,
    A PA beekeeper

    My great-grandfather had a deal worked out with this Russian beekeeper. He let him put hives up in three areas of the ranch, in exchange for the honey harvested from one hive each year. We never lacked for both strained and jarred honey, as well as comb. I've recently picked up some land not far from where the family ranch was. I'm looking at planting as much mesquite and purple sage as I can stand, and getting in contact with a local beekeeper, see if I can work out a similar deal.

    I love comb honey. I never did much of it though because it slowed down the honey production too much since the bees had to draw out the comb every time. With extraction they just have to refill the comb. When I raised bees the only time they had to draw out the comb is when I started a new hive or expanded one. I only did it for family and friends though, rather than as a business. My new hives came from collecting wild hives and swarms.i started with one hive with a brood box and 2 large supers and ended up with 7 hives with 3 large supers and 2 small supers above the brood boxes. That provided us with all the honey we could use. I finally sold all my hives for a very fair price plus 700 pounds of honey already put up in jars and gallon cans.

      Honey , pure and liquid is 2 kinds of sugars, but once Kiawe Honey 'crystalizes', the 2 types of sugars are easy to part from each other. Glucose turns into a crystal, Fruitose remains a liquid trapped inside the Glucose crystal. Crush the crystal and let the liquid settle to the bottom, scoop away the crushed crystals and you now have the Fruitose and if your wife want to lose weight this is the way to do it:
      To consume the Fruitose without the Glucose 'kicks' your body into overdrive. It will make your body draw more Glucose from your body's tissues that have been stored away for later use, but since continuing to eat fruitose without the glucose, the body is forced to consume its own fat reserves, she will lose weight.
      Increasing 'water intake' will also 'burn up ' more weight of those that are stuck behind a desk all day. An addition intake above your normal water needs of just 1 1/2 liters is equal to non-stop walking for 8 hours.

    That was very very impressive you can actually sell these for a lot higher than you can all the others the reason being is sanitary you don’t have to worry about cross-contamination with an employee getting sick by touching the honey and transferring from bucket to bucket to drum to bucket machine this is from the hive directly to the customer . When I get rolling I will think about this system when I’m ready to sell honey but that’s down the road several years down the road lol God bless you and thank you for showing us this system I think it’s a winner ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    When uncappingthe frames, I hold the frame at an angle away from myself because that lets gravity pull the cappings away from the frame.
    I also have a stainless steel grid beneath the frame to keep the wax seperate from the draining honey.
    The grid from an electric oven usually works well.

  • @sallygreimes6585
    @sallygreimes6585 4 роки тому +1

    Something i do wish more people who garden would take into consideration;
    As you plan your flower gardens, plan perennials from late winter thru to fall. Have set up that something is blooming sequentially all year. This has the dual feature of keeping bees in the area so your veggies are pollinated all season. If you do not do this you will suffer reduced garden production. Bees want a consistent source to come to all summer. From late winter with hellebores all summer to fall with giant sedums there is something always available in flowers to veggies all summer. As a result we have very high produce production.

    We called it comb sections. My father always said you needed a good strong hive to work these sections and that the bee's didn't like working them and of course a good honey flow, so he never used them. These are different from the sections that were available 40 plus years ago.
    But you have done well or rather that hive has, must be a good colony you have and a good honey flow for the bee's to have filled them so well and make all the comb needed. You will certainly get a premium price for each.

      The boxes are embossed at the factory with wax. The bees build it out to the full cell. Afterwards they fill and cap them.
      I had put 2 sets on separate hives one year. After checking both, I pulled them off and went through both set up, removed all of them, and rebuilt the ones that weren't complete.
      Put that back on the hive, and when pulled in the fall was really surprised that I had both spring light honey and dark fall honey mixed in the same boxes!!!
      Very different to see the mixed flavors and colors interspersed in the boxes...
