Brandon ive just purchased the exact same spinner here in the uk but our honey frames are maybe half as deep so ive made a perspex plate in the bottom to hold and spin 12 frames at a time with no need to turn the frame half way through.

Wow! Amazing video! The honey looks great!

When you had the camera in slow mo I had to still slow it to 0.25 just to see it fly out the forces that takes is actually quite mad

Good video and good information. But the capped honey is not always 18% or less. I pulled and extracted 100 lbs of 95% capped honey that measured 18.4% in the bucket. Pulled another 200 lbs and at least 80% of it tested at 19+% below the cappings. You should always test.

What do you do with the capping after?

Hi Brandon! Enjoyed your video. Loved yellow board that frame sat in for uncapping. Got to have one. What are they called? Would love to surprise my husband with one for Christmas.
Cheers, from Perth, Australia

How hot does the hot knife get? And technically aren’t you heating up a small about of honey when uncapping?

[MKIVJZGT]

How much colonies and how many boxes deeps and mediums made this over 400lbs harvest?

[andrewstancil]

So if I heard right you got 400 pounds of honey on your first year? Also how many hives do you have?

[natalieweneck]

So much honey!! How heavy are those boxes?!

[rickmartin]

It’s called bee bread not honey bread, still a good video!!

[JasonEmery]

Where do you sell your honey? It is too soon to tell, but I think I'm going to have my first big harvest, too big for family and friends.

[cindyhockenberry-lwgz]

Wow look at all that raw honey!!! ❤❤❤❤

[joshuadavis]
