Set up and How To on the crush and strain method of Honey Harvesting. How to get honey from honeycomb...This is my favorite way to harvest honey. It's simple and fast and easy without all the mess..
Great option for Beginner Beekeepers because you don't have to buy a bunch of equipment starting out. How do beekeepers get honey from Bees? Well there are a few different ways but this has a lot of perks.. Most beekeepers use spinners to get their honey but this can take a lot of time and make a big mess..I also go over how to get honey out of wax cappings. I hope you enjoy this video, the Backyard Bee Builder

Thanks heaps for your videos., youve done extraordinarily well. Can I give you a tip? When you use the video editor there is a function within it called "normalise sound" This makes all sound levels the same across the video. It will help to automatically amplify your voice, and decrease the music levels. Keep up your wonderful work. You're doing a great job.

They make paint strainers available at any Lowe's or Home Depot. They come closed at one end, and fit perfectly in a 5 gallon bucket. Find a wooden spatula. It won't alter the taste or damage the foundations.

This video was just what I was looking for. I'm at the point where honey is strained but have a big ball o' wax n' honey left. Was trying to figure out how-to when I thought to check YT. Your video quickly solved the issue and I'm off to set up a double boiler with whatever pots will work. Thanks a bunch!

i know this is 2 yrs later, but when i get to that stage i wash it in a food grade bucket in cold water a bit more in volume than the ball of mush, gets your hands in there squeezing and tumbling then strain again with cheese cloth. The watery sweet washing can be fed to hive, but i pasturize it to kill any yeasts, about 70deg, and yeast it with a mead yeast. Make a few bottles honey mead.

I do the same but direct in a paint strainer bag in the bee yard, and replace the frames back in the hive for them to clean it out

I’ve been on the fence about getting a spinner but I see it just being a huge mess to clean up lol i don’t have bees yet but I plan on getting a few different types. I’m not into saving wax so I like the idea of the flow hive. I also want to get a regular hive too so I can get cut comb. It’s so satisfying watching honey being extracted lol

Great vid. Quick question, do you separate each super when extracting. Or do you tend to put all your honey into one tank? Or even maybe separate each hives honey? Thank you.

@ken440 Жыл бұрын

wash your ball of wax crush at the end in clean water in a polypail, put your arm in and squeeze all the bits and break them up, then strain again and save the water. Pasturize the honey water and make honey mead with it, you just need to get some mead starter yeast at a home brew shop and put the pail aside for a month or so, a new related hobby!. then the strained wax can be put on a black sheet of sloping metal ( lid cover off an old VCR player) on a couple bricks in an old super out in the sun under double glaze glass and it will melt and run clean into any container. Been doing this for years.

What do you do with the frames afterwards?

@ssmartin67 Жыл бұрын

Question: I tried your method of getting the last bits of the honey off of the leftover comb, but ended up with a grainy, sticky hard goo. It seems like the wax and honey didn't separate and just hardened together. Any Ideas what I did wrong? I used the double boiler and made sure the mixture didn't boil. (It was only about 1.5" deep.)

Best way is a double boiler. A#10,gallon, can in a pot about2" larger with a riser under the can to allow bubbles to get out from under the can. Boil until all the wax is melted. Lift out the can and let it cool.

@@travismorgan9726 NO, Honey only spoils if it gets too much moisture in it.. or it is contaminated by something...most honey is pasteurized or heated before use...

I use a comb roller decapper and spinner and have hardly any wax come off my hives bees get them back and filled quicker. Once the spinner drains for a day there's hardly any honey in it and then I rinse it with real hot water and let it dry out. Crushing comb is a slow process in my opinion.

@gazinta 3 жыл бұрын

When the honey slaps against the sides of an extractor, it whips oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen(water, basically)into the honey. That alters the flavor. I prefer this way because it's not so violent of a process. If you DONT heat it, the wax just floats to the top. Scoop it off, and strain it again.

@michellearmenta1116 2 жыл бұрын

How long will it take for the wax to float to the top if you DON'T heat it? Thanks for the tip!

@gazinta 2 жыл бұрын

@@michellearmenta1116 it depends on the ambient temperature of the room. The warmer, the better. But typically, 24-48 hours should do it. I like to fill a jar with as much as will fill it, then remove the wax "scab" in the morning. Straining and filtering are two different things. What you remove can be strained again so nothing gets wasted. Or you can let the bees clean it up. That's not wasteful, either.
