Thats dope! Its my first year harvesting honey. I have 5 frames of honey and dont want to pay for a extractor. Im going to try this

[rebeccamanley]

This was very helpful to a new bee keeper. Also very peaceful to watch. Thank you for sharing. God Bless

[tcetrada]

Yay! Finally found my tribe of bee keepers. You are right up my alley with the way you teach and your faith. Thanks a bunch and God bless.

This is the best simple honey extraction system I've seen yet. We rented an extractor last time and the extractor cleanup mess made it not worthwhile. We will definitely use your method this time. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing that simple but clever system of harvesting honey, I would be interested in seeing how you’re going now with your hives, hopefully I’ll find a more recent video of yours

[adkfoothills]

Thank you, Jackie. This is just what I was looking for. Bless you, my dear friend.

[BlacksTropicalHomestead]

Wow... I'm amazed! I keep talking about bees with my husband. I think we should go for it. Thanks for sharing 👩🏾‍🌾😋👨🏿‍🌾

[HanginOutWithStan]

That is amazing!!! You're a genius Jackie! I'll need to remember your method for extracting honey.

[BiteandChiu]

Beautiful liquid gold! Great passive method of extracting honey.

[lifewithaprons]

Thanks so much for this video! We are about to embark on bee keeping and this is super helpful!

[juliebaker]

I'll be showing this video to my husband. We'll be extracting honey for the first time in the very near future and this seems like such a simple process. Simple clean-up too. Thanks for sharing!

Great idea! We got an extractor that we purchased second hand and love it! We have six hives and would be quite a chore to do by hand, even tho your idea is excellent if you want to extract a couple frames at a time! Harvesting honey is too labor intensive. I would not destroy the combs tho. I would just tilt the frames inside the bucket and let them drain. It may take a bit longer to empty but you can still have the drawn comb to give back to the hive to fill again in no time or give it to another colony to start with or a bee trap after the bees clean it up. It takes a lot of time and resources for the bees to built one and I feel it is wasted time while they could just work on honey production. My humble opinion. Thank you for sharing your idea with us!

[LittleGardenBigDreams]

Such a simple and practical idea. Thanks for sharing xx Cathi xx

[katrinasaffarek]

Thank you for sharing this! We are extracting honey for the first time tomorrow. I certainly feel better equipped now that I've watched your video 😊

scraping back to foundation in a bucket is hard work! make it simpler. dont wire your honey frames. put just a 1inch strip of foundation along underside of top bars. the bees make all the wax and they stay within the frame still. Harvest by running a knife right round inside of frame, it all just falls in the catching bin (leave a little bit under top bar so they can go back in hive for bees to draw back down).

The comb you cut out, into a bin is easier, and you get extra wax for those other things you want wax for, or swap for foundation. so you get two crops, wax and honey.

In the bin crush it all like mashing potatoes, with a clean 1 inch dowel or just your bare hands, then strain it.

was your wax after straining, in clean water and use that sweet wash water to make honey mead. A third crop, honey, wax and mead 😁
