I pulled 15 frames, had 3 half frames with nectar but I couldn't extract it right away (family emergency) so II tossed them in the freezer to protect it from any hive beetles. Now after thawing it reads 21.5 :( not sure why its so high but I've made a hot room at 92 degrees with 40% humidity and fans blowing thru it. Do you think it will be ok if I get it to come down?
hello, how are you calibrating your meter ? i have the same meter as you the instructions say to get the blue/white line on the zero but our scale doesnt start at zero ?
Hi Laurance. Look forward to your video about reducing water content in buckets. I've got that problem at the moment. Great video again, thanks 👍
Thanks Kaine. I can get that one done over the winter. Really simple though. Sealed room. Dehumidifier. Lots of stirring :D
Great video man, a piece of kit which should be in every beekeepers kit! Hope you are well :)
Cheers Andy! Yes indeed. Invaluable 😀
Please make a video on how to combine hives. I have a problem with my splits and im planning to return them back to their own hives.
If you search for combining hives it should come up on the channel.
Hi, What was your process to reduce the water content of your heather crop ?
Hi Lawrence….. Can you please recommend a refractometer. Xmas coming, I need to drop a few hints, so she knows which one to get. Thank you. 🤝
Cant go wrong with either the Abelo or Thorne refractometers 😀
Thank you.
How long does it take the bees to repair the damage to the comb?
Less than 24 hrs. They are straight on it!
hello, how is my capped honey reading 26% the same as the uncapped?

Sunflower oil should measure at 25% or extra virgin olive oil should measure 27%. Thats how i calibrated mine. Double check online
