Honey extraction without an Extractor

Ойын-сауық

This is the first time we've extrated honey from our new hive. It was a lot of fun and a learning experience. We didn't have access to an Extractor at the time so we used this method.

    WOW!! So many negative comments here. . .At least he is doing it and not just sitting on the couch watching and criticizing somebody else. You should see the way they collect honey here in the mountain. They just squeeze it into bottles. No frames because all wild-collected. . I will try to get a "honey hunt" on video and post it.

    I have not used an extractor because the honey you just made keeps its sparkle and most of the flavanoids and antibacterial properties. The honey house with an extractor smells great, but the honey spinning out forms a thin film on the side of the vessel and then gets blown by the frames acting as fan blades. If you want to have great turn around time on harvesting, just uncap the honey as you did in the first part. Do not destroy the cells. Do one side at a time and leave it overnight open cell down to drain. They will refill the frame in a shorter time and you will harvest more often. Also do not remove all the frames of honey just before winter. Let them use a few to overwinter. Your honey will be exhibition grade and smell and taste fantastic. Your bees will also be more resiliant. If you fill your bottle of honey and the air bubble struggles to rise, then you are doing it right. Feeding costs money and weakens bees and ads no value to your honey. Sugar is not nectar.

    @@CC_farm Bro. It's a cult. Bees make wax. That's what they do. To shame you for harvesting wax and spending money to appease them is a shame in itself. A strong colony NEEDS somewhere to put the wax. This is why they swarm. They need elbow space and a job to do. People trying to corner the market on wax and keep the prices high tell you not to harvest YOUR wax, while they harvest ALL of theirs. Then the cult comes nipping at anyone's heels that doesn't go along with that. I'm a commercial keeper. I leave drawn comb sometimes, and they don't want it. They won't even put honey in it sometimes. Every colony has different behaviors and traditions. A guy in Winnipeg can't tell a guy in Georgia how to keep his bees. There's no "wrong" way to do it. I was more concerned about the bucket. It should have a ♻️ with a "1" in the middle stamped in the bottom. The other buckets at home depot are made from old oil containers and carpet fibers. Things like that.

At least that's what I'm getting from all of this, not sure what you think. Haha...annnnyyway, I'm assuming that this is nearly your first (if not THE first) honey harvest. This is my first year keeping bees and I rely a lot on experiences shared through these videos. Yes, drawn comb is a priceless asset and most wax projects can be accomplished with cappings alone. However, the goal is to learn. The more we learn, the better we can provide for our bees. If you were able to learn something from this experience, that too, is priceless. I thank you for sharing your experience and submitting it to the sometimes harsh criticism of those who are all clearly Master Beekeepers. You're doing a great job!

Given that the term "expert" defines a person who knows all there is to know about a subject, I can assure you that there is no such thing in the world of beekeeping. Master Beekeepers will tell you that they are far from experts, they just know more than most. I've learned that those who tend to know the most about bees will tell you just how little they really do know. Those who speak like they know everything are generally second or third year keepers who think they have learned it all and have become experts as a result of successfully overwintering a hive for a year. There are good folks out there, you just have to look pretty hard and sort through the weeds.

    So I follow JP and couldn't find a video anywhere on his channel where he uses the paint filters, but GENIUS idea! For those looking, "paint filter" might not get you the right search results, but "paint strainer" should work. They come in 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes. I recommend washing them before using them to filter honey, they have a bit of a factory synthetic smell to them right out of the package. I also recommend getting some clamps or something to hold the mesh up, otherwise the weight of the wax can pull it down and your wax ends up soaking in your filtered honey. Much better than getting wax and propolis all over my kitchen sieves!

    @8:15 They use that comb to act as ladders and shortcuts around the hive. Bridge comb and ladder comb are a nuisance sometimes, but let the ladies decorate. Before you attempt to put the frames in the box, scrape that off. They won't fit back together otherwise.

    I did this once. My mom bitched so loud that my uncle in Oklahoma mailed me an antique extractor. We hand cranked for years until I got lots of bees. We extracted a ton one year and swore to never crank again. Wife bought a 20 frame Lyson. Gee that's nice. It stops after 15 minutes.

    Excuse me, but do you know how much honey do bees need to build foundation? Drawn foundation is probably the most valuable non living asset of the beekeeper. THE ONLY THING YOU CAN'T BUY. You can buy hives, foundation sheets, bees, queens, everything else but drawn foundations. Could have just used a needle comb, opened the cells, and let the honey flow out slowly overnight.

    Have you actually done that or is it a theory? I’ve tried and after days of gravity, it really didn’t work well. Maybe my honey was especially thick and I should try again! Also, it’s difficult to not push the spatula through the base wax sheet. But again, it might be me.

    @@dalesman4530 Nope. Physics is against you. There is such a thing as surface tension. Honey could never have the viscosity thin enough that gravity would break that tension. That is why honey is classified using a refractometer. The amount of light refraction can only happen when the concentration of water is lower than what they initially place in the comb before it is capped. If it CAN flow out, it isn't honey.

    It just shows that preparation is the key to success, when you have started uncapping, and have a sticky uncapped frame in your hands. You did well. Would having a large enough box and bee tight lid help to put the sticky clean frames in, to drain in the sun, along with your wax cappings in the muslin bag? Or would this be overkill? I gather that the bees will rob out the remaining honey, but that this can cause unwanted attention from all bees, and wasps and potentially cause robbing from the hives, if it's too close.

    When you take away the wax like that, without just uncapping it, it takes longer for the bees to build up the hive again. Therefore, takes longer for them to get filled with honey. That is why only the cap is taken away in commercial farms. Cheers.

The FDA says they can. It's called "cellulose". Plastic. A couple "things" in honey probably is safer than your Mueslix. Just sayin. I would be more concerned about honey that's been pasteurized. Cooks out everything but the botulism. That cant be cooked out.
