I swear this man had to be the voice actor for Winnie The Pooh. I wouldn't question it at all. And the coincidence with the honey would be just perfect. 👌🏽 Lol

From NZ: "Tutin is a plant toxin found in tutu (Coriaria arborea) plants. It is poisonous to people and other mammals. Symptoms of tutin ingestion in people can be mild (giddiness). But they can also be severe and lead to coma or death". After 31 December we test the honey for tutin. Thanks, great video, and enjoyed the passion. Cheers

OMG, ... you mentioned me again LoL... I am truly honoured and feel chuffed!!! Since harvesting my first lot of honey I've invested in a spinner, electric no less 😜so now I don't need to take all the wax from the fame which will save my ladies from building it again. I sold all 58 jars of the dark rich flavoured honey to people who know what honey is supposed to look and taste like and they loved it. Thanks for the valuable advice and Birthday Wishes, ... I'll keep them in mind on my birthday this year. Another great informative episode which will help all us new beekeepers out here in YouTube Land 😀Well done Mark, ... well done, ... ooh and John behind the camera 😃the forgotten hero who needs to do all the filming and editing, thanks.

You're the best! Thanks for teaching us all the bee stuff while also being so much fun. ❤️

There’s a guy here in the U.S. that jars it just like what you were scraping off the frames calls it “untouched” honey and sells it for a premium price!

[ChickenSaladRimjob]

Do you do anything special with the frames to clean them or just put them back in the hive and let the bees do the rest?

[sergiopietra]

Feels like being there with you. Thanks, that made me smile.

Nepal honeybees are what you're refrencing. The rhododendron flower is in that area and can be a hallucinogenic in the honey.

Good instructor and easy to follow - for a beginner apiarist like myself.

"It's not even dizzy" hahaha

I bought a stainless Press. Works well. Use a Duel strainer and its ready for the jar. The wax gets put in a solar oven I made from an eski, and glass. Nice clean Wax when done.

A beekeeper from the U.K. who has a you tube channel recommends using a honey comb uncapping fork instead of knife or scaper (as is done in this video) because it preserves the comb for the bees to refill immediately, resulting in faster honey production from the hives. Of coarse, that requires the extractor machine to remove the honey from the comb using centrifugal force. Bush Bee Man's scraper method does not require the extractor as he states. Pros and Cons in everything we do, no?

Put you a 2 inch board across the tub. Drill holes in the ends to fasten it to the tub with bolts and wing nuts put a nail through the center of the board with point up so the end of the frames has a place to sit with a grip on it. Works great. 👍❤🐝

Ahaha “it’s not even dizzy“ (not spinning the honey) that made me laugh. Funny guy

[tasmedic]

If you like little scraped-off pieces of black plastic in your honey, this is definitely the way!
I much prefer foundationless frames. That way, no plastic, no bits of wood, you can easily and accurately cut the comb from the frame. Plastic frames work much better with spinner type extractors.

Love you personally thanks for sharing

[cobberpete]

What about taking honey from the frames with wax foundation? Is that just lost to the process and then reclaimed as the wax to be cleaned and re purposed

[helenahtheisraeli..]

you're a classic. I love ya mate. Perth, Western Australia c

. . Only Problem Is . . Next Year The Bees Will Produce Less Honey as The Will Bee Spending More Time and Resources To Rebuild The Comb . .

Haven't been this early since Bush Bee Man stole his wife's screwdriver before Valentines Day! Great video as always.
