Summertime honey extraction, Traditional Japanese beekeeping, Apis cerana japonica.

This video features a honey extraction from a very strong colony of native Japanese honeybees.

This hive is the most common way in Japan to keep Japanese honeybees (Apis cerana japonica) as a hobby. But we use Langstroth hive to keep imported western bees.

I have been studying how to lure a bee swarm here in Japan and want to build a hive with these same specifications. This is great. Glad I found you.

Mayu, Today I harvested 2 boxes of honey from the top boxes. I was pleasantly surprised to see these boxes packed with honey. Last year, same time, I harvested just one top box. This time I could have taken one more box but I decided against it and left it for the bees. I have made my own pile hives and successfully...successfully got good quality honey. So, I thank you and your channel for excellent guidance. 😊 Tomorrow I will check the second pile hive at Dehradun India.

Maybe the best beekeeping i've ever see!
I love the care she give to the bees.

Interesting to add boxes to the bottom. This would be the natural way the bees would build. Don't know how this would work with removable frames as required by most other places. Great videos by the way. Thank you.

Awesome video. No fluff just facts and the camera work is excellent.

おはようございます。 私は映画を見て楽しんだ。
今年は日本の巣箱でミツバチを繁殖させる予定です。 ここには他のミツバチがいます。 しかし、日本のシステムはとてもシンプルです。 日本の養蜂に関するYTのビデオを全部見ました。
ミツバチの健康と成功を祈っています。 🐝🐝🐝

I made 4 of these hives last year for european honeybee. Two are with families from last years swarms, still overwintering. I so hope to get at least one box full of honey like that this autumn!

Thank you for the video! Nothing against the person who does the voice-over, but I would've liked it much more without the music and voice-over over Mayu's voice. That would've made it more personal and fun to watch. There are subtitles already.

From syria thank you i work in this job but i have diffrent style for bee cells

I've heard that framed hives have the issue of using old comb for brood leading to smaller bees since the old comb has less space for the larva to turn into bees. This method is so cool for the removal, if not complete lack, of that problem. I imagine with framed hives you could add a box to the bottom, maybe at the beginning of the season, and the queen would move down.

Watching from Kenya it's amazing Weldon ❤

If you know they are planning to swarm do you split the hive?
Or put empty boxes nearby, with queen scent inside, hoping the swarm moves into the empty hive?

Какие молодцы с техникой для подъёма первый раз увидел. Спасибо за видео урок.

Great job looks easy but I try before In Japan cold time is difficult

[helenknight]

Loved the video. I’d love to see how you then get the honey out of those boxes you took away.
