So satisfying to hear you are finally seeking out the knowledge of a mentor and other local beekeepers. You will be buying a bigger extractor next year!

I keep bees and it’s the most exciting time when it comes to harvest! You really feel like you have come on a journey to get to the honey. People don’t realise how hard you work for every spoonful. Keep up the great work 🥰 with love from England 😉

I purchased your honey and received it a few days again. All I can say is wow! I have only had honey off a supermarket shelf and the difference is incredible. Your honey is amazing!! My whole family loves it!! Thank you for the opportunity to purchase a little piece of your farm!!

Great video!!
We work with others & have a mentor as well & yes, it’s so great to have all of their knowledge! We have a great community here. ❤

This is so beautiful to see, i am really happy for you and your harvest!
I have a few tips that could help (i have harvested a lot of honey). You should first start the extractor on the lowest speed, then turn the frames so that you extract from each side of the frame. Then do the same thing with a higher speed. You can increase the speed like this and turn the extractor on for about 4 rounds.
Also, the extractor is moving so much either because it is not level or the frames differ in weight too much.
We use uncapping forks (those that look like big, usual forks with many teeth, not reversed). They are faster than the hot gun and less damaging than the hot knife. They leave a very nice looking comb afterwards if done with care (scoop small sections at a time, don't go from side to side).
I hope you continue to do great and share it with us! Your farm is wonderful and i really enjoy seeing it grow!

The honeycomb melting is so satisfying

This is always my favourite video of the year, I wouldn't mind if it was longer 😬 and it was so satisfying seeing the wax caps get melted ☺️

Uncapped honey on frames can sour and ferment from having too much moisture. Has nothing to do with crystallization.

I absolutely love how much the kids are involved, and the assembly line is the most perfect thing ever!!! 🙌🏼🖤

Using a electric hot torch I a good idea but takes a lot of time, so what i do is, I use a electric shouldering iron machine ( of 25watt ) & remove the soldering bit of it & attached a stainless steel wire net edge - which at the end work as a HONEY PAW machine, & work as a butter knife - really smooth really fast

The flow of the honey is absolutely beautiful! I love all the aspects of life on the farm you show, but taking care of the bees is really fascinating to watch. Thanks for explaining all the aspects of honey production so well!

There is a way to help prevent pests in the beehives, especially moths. If you are doing honey harvesting rounds and notice some of the honey comb was used for brood at one point, you should not return the once used brood comb back to the hive. Melt it down, purify it, and use it for something else. The brood comb attracts wax moths the most.

It's really cool to see a family working together and having a great time doing it! Many great harvests to you in the future!

The honey looks so yummy, I ordered a jar!

[charlotteralff]

Have you considered moving your hives to a shaded area or adding shade to where they are?

[TheFezzik]

Good to see you grow as a beekeeper and you're doing beekeeping with splitting. Great job. Just a few suggestions. Get some turkey feathers, use them as a brush. Far easier and makes the girls much less angry.
Your third strainer isn't really required.
Just remember you don't need to see the queen. Just need to see eggs. If there are eggs, she's been in there in the last 3 days.
When cutting it helps to make a saw motion with the heated knife.
Just extracted 700 lbs of honey this year. Remember to be treating for mites in August for winter bees.

Love how clear and golden that honey is, what flowers do they get pollen from?

[AnEntityBrowsingYT]

It's been a number of years since I've seen a video of yours. A short just popped up. Was an early subscriber and your honey-loving boy was just born. Glad I found you again

[eldiablooooo]

Just a tip from an electrical engineer, unspool all your cable from the drum before using heavy loads, if you don't the insulation in the cable drum will melt sooner or later and It can start a fire.

I just think you and your family are so lucky to be living like you are. I sat here thinking in my whole life(70 now) I have never held a chicken or patted an emu. I'm allergic to bee's so that is out, but your animals most I will never have the pleasure of patting or feeding or hugging. I've had dogs, cats and rabbits. I am just amazed at all you and your kids do. Thank you for sharing your life. Oh and PS.. I do know how to catch a snake 😁
