Beekeeping Basics - How to use a Clearer Board - The Norfolk Honey Co.

It's time to take some of our precious honey of the hives and in this video we show you how we use a Rhombus clearer board to easily remove bees from honey boxes or supers.

Haven't watched you videos Stewart, for ages, silly me. I remember now how very good they are. Thankyou. JS.

Hi. Great video, thanks! I would like to switch from the round yellow Lega to the Rhombus. I have to make new clearer boards and drill holes. Do you know what size of hole works best. I heard that bigger 8 - 10 cm doesn't work as good as small 2 - 3 cm ones. It would be nice if you could help me out. Cheers!

do you clean your extractor for each hive harvest?

ha Stewart when u add your boxes do u add all 3 at one time, do you check them and rotate them or just leave them till the honey season is finished, do u do hive inspections when there is a honey flow. thanks for all the bee videos and the help

Hi. Great videos... Thanks.Do you mean that after extracting you return the 3 empty super boxes to the hive? What's the reason for this please?

Hi Stewart. I put on porter clearer board yesterday morning. I have it on properly as far as I can see from looking it up on line. There are a lot of bees still in the supers. It's very wet here now so what should I do. I was thinking of buying rhombus escapes but would the bees be OK with the porter escape in situ until I get them in 2 or 3 days?

Hi Stewart, I don't understand why you put the clearer board back on the hive after removing the supers for extraction. Would you explain please? ;)

If you remove all of the honey what stores do the bees have?

Sir I need your beekeeping experience because here (india) is very hot weather.

Hello great video. But harvesting in the rain is not recommended as lots of moisture will go into honey and hive
