Think how much honey you would of got if you didnt use honey xcluder. Hahahah 🤣🤣🤣

[hutchshoney]

SWEET!!! No pun intended. I used single hive management with queen excluder on 4 production hives and got an average of over 100lbs per hive. It works!!!

I’m pretty sure you’ve made $1, 500 in ad revenue from me alone Kamon 😂. And you deserve every dime of it. Seems like I’ve watched pretty much every one of your videos already and I’ve only been subscribed for a few months. Keep up the awesome work!

Great video! I just extracted 10 Gallons of honey from a single hive with a "Honey Excluder"! Like you said it's all about using your tools correctly.

Great video and informative. Nee sub. 1st year with my bees. Just added a super. On my last check I found 7 queen cells. I removed all. I did not want to split the hive yet maybe next year when I'm ready for 2 hive lol. Thank you for your videos. You explain everything so well.

We religiously use excluders and run single brood chambers. This year's production hives averaged over 100 pounds of honey each. One stand out colony's yield was (for real) 193.2 pounds. We retail @$16 per pound so that is a $3000+ hive!

[SteveMcGuire]

Great video brother. I like the single brood box. It makes it easier to find the queen and have more honey.

[trevor]

A queen excluder is almost always required on a single brood box hive. Here in the UK the vast majority of bee keepers use a single national brood box with a QE and the bees make honey just fine.

“Comb is gold.” Absolutely. Looking good Kamon. What a year it has been! I was on the “honey excluder” bandwagon but decided to try queen excluders again last year. I got so tired of having to go through every frame when harvesting honey. So I let the bees get into the supers and then add the excluders with the queen below. The bees just keep on working. Any brood will emerge and then they backfill and cap the honey. Absolutely makes things easier. Going to pull honey again this weekend and looks to be a record crop, all with excluders in place. Thanks for another great video!

One tip I heard from a guy at a beekeeping store was that when you buy metal excluders, you should wash them with a mild unscented soap and water solution to get the oil from the factory off, and the bees will go thru it with no problem.

[randallcarter-carterhillho]

I used to be a honey excluder beekeeper and decided try them this year and am very pleased with the results. I will be using excluders going forward. Great info!!

[paulawaldrep]

Wow! They have really packed it in this year!! Don't forget to save for the rainy days, cuz you never know when it will fall !! 😉🐝🌻🐝👍

[GEEZBEEZ]

Awesome. Thanks for videos and chats. Glad you are having a good year.

[jeremyrainey]

You are by far the best, most entertaining, full of knowledge beekeeper I follow. Nice work kamon and you too Laurel.

[christianshannon]

Hey Kaymon, I live in Prince George, Virginia and for the first time I am seeing sourwood trees blooming good and are in full bloom now . I’ve pulled two supers off one hive and have two supers almost complete on the same hive . This honey this year is very light amber and some is yellow in color and very sweet . I’ve made almost $300 off the first six gallons. This is small compared to what y’all pull in . I haven’t been this excited in years .

[theheritagehousesc]

We used them for a while but we don’t now. I think we may go back to it. What you said made sense on having them draw the comb first snd then put the excluder on. Our hives are all fairly new. We let them keep some of the honey year round and extract what we need for our consumption. We just harvested 17 frames from our two strongest hives. We end up with 60lbs of honey. This is just our hobby and we are learning daily. Thank you for all the info you so generously offer! Wishing you a great harvest year!

[BlanchardsBees]

Very nice! I've been running a single brood chamber with an excluder on and my bees have been doing great!!

[dadu]

Just got out of my hives today and sitting under shade tree here in NC. Bees are landing on my hand and i swear kamon they are watching you on YouTube.

[slavkei]

"Voila" is French for "Here [it] is!" So that's pretty accurate.

Think of it as meaning similar to "There ya go!" or "Here it is!"

Viola, which i typoed originally, is a musical instrument. Whoops.

[littlejohnhoneyfarms]

Thank you, Kamon! As an intermediate beekeeper, I find your videos invaluable!
