Summer Honey Harvest From Top Bar Hive | Not What We Expected
Рет қаралды 3,513
Жыл бұрынSummer Honey Harvest From Top Bar Hive - Not What We Expected! Our honey harvest did not go exactly according to plan but we were able to work through it. For the first time in our beekeeping experience, the bees in this top bar horizontal beehive had cross combed the top bars. To make matters more difficult, the combs were collapsing and sagging. They were just falling apart as we worked through the honeycomb. We could not harvest the honey as we normally do on our homestead by uncapping and draining the comb so we use a press to get the job done. The press worked amazingly well on our off grid homestead.

Until now I had no idea how I was going to actually extract the honey. Well I bought a cast iron press at a junk store & thought I’d use it to press apples. Now I see I can use it to extract the honey!! Yay thank you!!

The "press" on that "mess" did a great job. 😁 Gotta get that harvest however you can! Ingenuity at it's best. Blessings, Texas Deb 😁❤️

I love the fruit press idea! I looked on line and saw that it is about $50 less than a honey press. Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with me. What part of the world are you in and how many colonies are you running?

Thanks. We are in Texas and have three horizontal bee hives.

What type of bees do you have and what size are your bars?

We catch local swarms that are mostly European bees. We use horizontal hives with layens frames.
