Great video David. 10-year beekeeper so now you have inspired me to make some comb honey this year. I will put some empty frames in the supers this year. FYI I have been using your idea on the feeding for winter physiology for the bees and using the Burns candy boards on top. On the last warm day in February, all hives were alive! Keeping fingers crossed this could be the second year of getting all 13 hives through the winter using your ideas. Thanks for all you do.

Wise commentary David, Thank you. Glad you are on YT!

[richardhyatt-beekeeping]

hi Dave, I met you in 2023 Hive Life in Sevierville, Tennessee. I've been impressed with your YouTube and beekeeping success. After 5 years beekeeping I began my own YouTube channel. This morning I searched for How to Make Comb Honey and this video popped up first. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[daveroseman]

Great video.
YES, I do remember the wax THINGS. Didn't until I saw it there.
One thing I haven't seen you mention is how important it is to make sure the hive is level side to side.
I saw that at our Beekeeper meeting.

I haven’t thought about a wax harmonica in many years. We used to buy them at our local country store for 5 cents which was a weeks allowance.

[askywarrior]

Used to love the wax harmonicas!
My brother in law in Greece wants me to send him some honey with comb. Thanks for the simple 💡's!

[beebob]

Thank you for showing the different kinds of comb honey. I was misled by your Headline. I was looking for the process of producing comb honey and not the kinds of comb honey.
I have done regular comb honey, ross rounds, Hogg Half Comb. I've found that the best technique for getting the hive ready for producing comb honey is a method called the Juniper split. I like the modified version even better which was developed by Herman Danenhower for the Kutztown area of Pennsylvania.
I would like you in the spring to do a presentation on preparing your hives for producing comb honey.

Thank you Dave! I have a customer asking for comb honey and your video showed me the easiest way to make it! Thanks!

Hello David I have enjoyed all the wax products you spoke about on the beginning of the video. That was the GREAT old days . I think I enjoyed the wax drink bottles the best . Thanks again for all your info and video’s. Keep them coming when possible.

[stevengreer]

Great video David, I'm a first year beekeeper next door in Indiana and enjoy using your videos as one of my learning tools. Keep up the good work.

[JohnShelor-rr]

Sure did. David got my bees today. So full of honey it's pulling the frames apart. Thanks for your videos.

[thaddeusmontoute]

David, on production of comb honey, I love #1 and #4 methods, they are low cost methods. Great! Thanks for they way you explanada and by the way my outfit is called Balsam Ridge Bees.

[McMichen]

Hi David. I grew up with the wax bottles and whistles. I am starting my first hives in April. I'm very excited and taking in all I can from books and videos. Yours are great. I just attended Bee School at the Beekeepers of Indiana meetings, so take comfort I think I know enough to get started ... but I'll probably never stop learning. Thanks again for sharing.

[wpankey]

Great video! I remember the lips and little soda bottles. That was a real treat as a kid 60 years ago!

[stanleyschafer]

Hi David. Thank you for those great ideas for comb. Thanks for all of your helpful videos. 🇺🇸

[davemeister]

Thanks for the tips! I love comb honey! My favorite way to eat is on salty crackers! I have a couple empty frames in my supers for making comb honey this year and can’t wait to sink my teeth into some! Thanks for all the awesome videos! I tell new beekeepers the best decision I made when starting beekeeping is taking your online class! Keep it up

[sarashappyhives]

I’ll be able to do comb honey this year 😃

[dakotad]

That was fun. Thanks for bringing back childhood memories.

[terrasokolovic]

All of my friends ask me for comb honey. My colonies were too young in my eyes last year... But this is a goal for next season. I'm so excited!!! I'm also excited to purchase your course on raising queens next pay. Thank you for all you do! 💛🍯🐝

[amandaaskew]

Thanks for the info! That comb honey looks amazing!
