How to Extract Heather Honey - Heather Honey Extraction - Full Process

Black Mountain Honey is a No Nonsense Beekeeping Channel.

We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.

We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.

Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

We are passionate about beekeeping and really enjoy helping beekeepers through our YouTube channel.

On our channel you can find information on making splits with swarm cells, making increase with queen cells, grafting larvae, foulbrood and disease inspection, honey extraction and machinery, top tips for beginners, products reviews, instructions and guidance plus much more.

#NO NONSENSE BEEKEEPING is a UK based beekeeping channel, designed to keep beekeeping as simple and enjoyable as possible. There are no overly complicated techniques or intricate pieces of equipment.

We cover all beekeeping topics ranging from queen rearing, disease recognition/control, honey extraction, swarm management/collection, how to make splits and much more!

My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.

We aim to bridge the gap between commercial and hobbyist beekeepers and cater for beekeepers of all experience levels.

Really beautiful and enjoyable honey. A very extensive extraction process. Quality. Thanks for sharing. Infact, I'm going to have a spoon of it.

Thanks. My mentor here in the states told me about heather honey. I watched a German video on skep beekeeping where they work towards the end of the season and taking heather honey.
It's an interesting process that's for sure.

Great video, thank you. My girls are never on heather but really interesting to watch the process.

Hi Lawrence mate, you’ve got some nice kit there especially your Lysol honey loosener (lyson), I will be ordering more heather honey from you soon I enjoyed last year’s harvest from you a top quality honey if I do say so myself.

A really good 2 minute video. Loved it.

[TalRohan]

thanks Laurence I may just try this next year, at the moment my bees get to keep theirs for the winter..I know it's expensive winter feed but I don't see any point in breaking up comb when they can benefit from it.

Can you use a spike roller as a agitator.

Where to find Heather honey in the US?

You must have spent an absolute fortune on equipment.
