    Good to see you grow as a beekeeper and you're doing beekeeping with splitting. Great job. Just a few suggestions. Get some turkey feathers, use them as a brush. Far easier and makes the girls much less angry. Your third strainer isn't really required. Just remember you don't need to see the queen. Just need to see eggs. If there are eggs, she's been in there in the last 3 days. When cutting it helps to make a saw motion with the heated knife. Just extracted 700 lbs of honey this year. Remember to be treating for mites in August for winter bees.

    This is so beautiful to see, i am really happy for you and your harvest! I have a few tips that could help (i have harvested a lot of honey). You should first start the extractor on the lowest speed, then turn the frames so that you extract from each side of the frame. Then do the same thing with a higher speed. You can increase the speed like this and turn the extractor on for about 4 rounds. Also, the extractor is moving so much either because it is not level or the frames differ in weight too much. We use uncapping forks (those that look like big, usual forks with many teeth, not reversed). They are faster than the hot gun and less damaging than the hot knife. They leave a very nice looking comb afterwards if done with care (scoop small sections at a time, don't go from side to side). I hope you continue to do great and share it with us! Your farm is wonderful and i really enjoy seeing it grow!

    Congratulations on your harvest of honey. I have heard of the heat gun method for the wax cappings, but in my opinion, the heat might kill off some of the natural enzymes, antibiotics, etc., that is actually a benefit from raw honey. You will get different opinions im sure, but I just stick to the wax scraper. Good job with the bees, and im glad they are flourishing !

    There is a way to help prevent pests in the beehives, especially moths. If you are doing honey harvesting rounds and notice some of the honey comb was used for brood at one point, you should not return the once used brood comb back to the hive. Melt it down, purify it, and use it for something else. The brood comb attracts wax moths the most.

    Not sure if you do the off-camera frames that slow.. and not sure if it would help at all but there is this serrated knife you can get that has the same angulation as the hot knife, but all you have to do it saw down through the caps. Another tool you could get is an Uncapping Fork that can pick at some of the caps that get left behind.
