It's refreshing to see someone just being normal, natural, and themself, on a video, Kamon.

That's a nice stack of frames in the background ready to go. Way to be prepared and ahead of the game. Winter chores are very important to get ready and be prepared.

I bought the Harmony Farms uncapper this summer and was pleasantly surprised to find it worked better than I expected. Certainly better on newer or warmer comb, but you soon develop a technique to make efficient use of the device. Personally I really like the finished product coming out of the extractor and felt the comb and wax was better preserved with less waste. The bees seem to repair the comb to a nice uniform state more readily than when I muddle the comb with a rolling uncapper. It takes some strength on fatter or colder frames and I pushed a couple of medium frames too far and they fell into the uncapping tank, but all in all a great addition to my honey house.

That is a LOT of frames!!! Thanks for showing us how this tools works. I really appreciate your demonstrations and how you jump in right on video, just learning as you go. Although it looks quick I’m not sure how much faster then the fork is. Thanks again!

simply put the slicer works fairly well, its always good to have a hand scraper or spiked roller on hand to quickly get low spots or corners it may have missed, but overall it is far cheaper than a chain uncapper or slicer and far Quicker than a hot knife. I think we paid about $400, and we were able to extract a few hundred pounds in a couple hours, I would say it beats a messy slow HOT KNIFE ANY DAY!

Christmas Honey!!! It would be great if Laura swapped which side of the camera that she’s on, then we could all see where the giggles comes from. Thanks for making the video and Merry Christmas to the Reynolds family!!!

Would definitely like to see your normal extraction system that you use for the amount of hives you run. Thanks Kamon!

Have had the Harmony uncapper and like it. Lets get Laurel on camera.

We use the uncapping fork and use it like Laurel does. It removes the wax cleanly and we end up with much less wax in our extractor and much less to clog the sieves when draining the honey. We tried one of the needle roller perforator uncappers. It was fast but the amount of wax in our extractor was crazy and the sieves clogged real fast when draining. I wonder if the uncapper you are demonstrating would do the same thing since little wax is removed?

Kamon, Great info. Keep it coming. Be careful with the uncapping fork. Using Laurel's method is a good way to puncture an artery when the fork slips.

Been looking to up grade from my five gallon DIY uncapping bucket and that small uncapping tank that you are using looks like it might be just what I am looking for.

I have one of these that I purchased this season and it works pretty well. The one thing I have found if you have a thinner comb you can tilt it at an angle and it will hit those thinner spots on your frame. As far as extraction goes the majority of the honey does come out. But like you say you have to use a uncapping fork for some places that it just can't get to. Thanks for sharing.
