Honey House and Honey Extraction

We take a short tour of the honey house and improvements that we’ve made and extract a few supers of honey. Checking moisture along the way.

    Nice shop! You have your uncapping box next to the extractor, less floor drippings. Funny how so few people have figured that out. Grand job.

    Hi there from England, just started out on my bee keeping adventure and absolutely love the process of how the bees make honey and what goes on in the hive. Also great to see how the honey is harvested too!. Subscribed 👍🏻

    Thanks for watching!! So cool that you watched from England! Beekeeping seems to become an addiction.

    Great video Troy. I always love watching extracting videos. Great looking honey house. We have two girls that are 6 & 9. I feel like I always smell like bees or have propolis on me somwhere. I’m up to ten hives this year. We spun out 67 pounds on a three frame manual extractor yesterday. Not bad for a new beekeeper. This is my 3rd summer. Been through two winters. I really enjoy your videos and enjoy how you always explain everything. Have a great week. JIM FROM Union, KY

    Hey Jim, they’ll be grown up before you know it. Thanks for watching. Good job on your harvest. There’s a lot of ups and downs in beekeeping but it’s always enjoyable, especially in the honey house.

    Is your nylon fabric like having a Five gallon paint strainer you use in a paint spray gun or is the mesh finer than the paint filter. You have a great looking honey house. Thanks for the video

    Thanks for watching Jim. Might be a little finer than that. I enjoy my time spent in the honey house.

    Thanks for showing your honey house. Maybe your refractometer needs recalibration. I don't know how they get out of whack sitting in the case but they do.

    What’s up Phillip! What makes you think it’s out of calibration?

    Great vid thanks. what temp do you have the honey house when extracting, and what mesh is the nylon cloth for straining.

    Thanks for watching Dennis. Ideally I like to get it up to 85 degrees or so, over night to get the honey warm and then cool it down to work in the daytime. I’m not sure what the mesh is, I just go by feel. I bought some a few months ago that was too tight and the honey wouldn’t go through it.

    Where do you get the nylon cloth? Also you didn't say but I assume you wash them and reuse them.

    I’ve had these for a long time and haven’t found a recent source. Yes the have to be washed after every 4 or 5 buckets due to getting clogged.
