The honeycomb melting is so satisfying

I keep bees and it’s the most exciting time when it comes to harvest! You really feel like you have come on a journey to get to the honey. People don’t realise how hard you work for every spoonful. Keep up the great work 🥰 with love from England 😉

So satisfying to hear you are finally seeking out the knowledge of a mentor and other local beekeepers. You will be buying a bigger extractor next year!

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.

I absolutely love how much the kids are involved, and the assembly line is the most perfect thing ever!!! 🙌🏼🖤

This is always my favourite video of the year, I wouldn't mind if it was longer 😬 and it was so satisfying seeing the wax caps get melted ☺️

Suggestion: get a stamp of your logo so you dont have to hand write the tags. :)

I purchased your honey and received it a few days again. All I can say is wow! I have only had honey off a supermarket shelf and the difference is incredible. Your honey is amazing!! My whole family loves it!! Thank you for the opportunity to purchase a little piece of your farm!!

The honey looks so yummy, I ordered a jar!

We just got our hives in March and aren't planning on touching the honey this year! We keep having to explain to friends and family that the bees' needs come first. We won't have a harvest this year, but hopefully, next year, we will have plenty of honey!

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!

This is so fascinating! Not just the honey harvest but also all you’ve learned on how to build up your bees and getting them healthy! Thanks for the video!!

Uriah is keen on bees and honey production compared to the other kids

Uncapped honey on frames can sour and ferment from having too much moisture. Has nothing to do with crystallization.

Have you considered moving your hives to a shaded area or adding shade to where they are?

I didn’t miss the honey order!!! Yay! ❤

Amazing work. Just ine tip, when you get the frame out shake it 2 or 3 times so most of the bees can get of it and then brush the rest with the brush. It is making colecting honey frames more easy for me. :)

I agree with you Uriah bees are fascinating

Just a tip from an electrical engineer, unspool all your cable from the drum before using heavy loads, if you don't the insulation in the cable drum will melt sooner or later and It can start a fire.

The flow of the honey is absolutely beautiful! I love all the aspects of life on the farm you show, but taking care of the bees is really fascinating to watch. Thanks for explaining all the aspects of honey production so well!

I ordered honey before watching the video because I didn’t want to miss out this year. The first order I placed for two. Because you said you would cancel any that had more than one I went back and placed another order for one. Sorry about that. I got too excited. I got some of your honey in 2021 and missed out last year. So I just quickly ordered. Can’t wait to get the honey!!!

God has Blessed you with such a Beautiful Family Thank You for sharing your Blessing.

Love how clear and golden that honey is, what flowers do they get pollen from?

I just think you and your family are so lucky to be living like you are. I sat here thinking in my whole life(70 now) I have never held a chicken or patted an emu. I'm allergic to bee's so that is out, but your animals most I will never have the pleasure of patting or feeding or hugging. I've had dogs, cats and rabbits. I am just amazed at all you and your kids do. Thank you for sharing your life. Oh and PS.. I do know how to catch a snake 😁

Thank you Jake and Becky for sharing this..Learn so much stuff after watching your video...Wish you and family the best of health...From Singapore here..❤️

It's been a number of years since I've seen a video of yours. A short just popped up. Was an early subscriber and your honey-loving boy was just born. Glad I found you again

The honey flowing is mesmerizing 🐝 🍯 and seeing how affectionate Bamboo is was a treat ❤

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 !

At first i thought this is yt shorts. But we got an update video!! Gj guys

Isaiahs his little face lit up when there was honey around, 🍯 he's got a liking for honey like pooh bear 🍯❤

Are you expecting again😮 11:59

You should offer a slice of honeycomb for sale! Would instantly buy for about $40

You and Becky inspire me to try things out of my comfort zone. I'd love to have a hive.

Already sold out! The honey looks so good! I like to buy chunks of honey comb, I mix it in almost everything.

Just bought my honey 🍯.

Sure enjoy watching this, not only are bees making all that honey but imagine all the pollinating they are doing in your area. We plant a lot here we get a few Honey Bees but not lots, one year there were three kinds of Bumble Bees LOTS. This year I have watched two kinds of Bumble Bees not as many as last year. But anyway you are doing so much more then just making honey, you are helping Trees make fruit and nuts, flowers make seeds, gardens make vegetables, kudos to your family!!!

I swear I’ve been waiting for this day😂 So happy you guys are able to provide for your family like this. One day I’ll get there!

Love Becky's big expressive eyes. Glad she could pass them down to a couple of the kids! 😊❤

I'm always spellbound by the bee process! Boy he really likes his honey and his eyes are amazing.

I just love how your homestead is family run. ❤❤❤

its been interresting following ur journey and watch u guys learn. glad u got a comunity to surport u in ur beekeeping travels.

I really like the shape of your bottles!

so encouraging you have changed for the better and reaped the benefits of it keep it up beautiful family

love your choice of honey jars.

How fab . Love watching your family and the animals 😊

So satisfying

We had a great harvest this year too!

For the last four years I have missed out on getting a jar of honey, and finally I can get one! You all are inspiring. Keep doing what you do. ♥

Awesome harvest. Just ordered a jar!

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.

MANY JARS OF HONEY?! WHAT AN HONOUR OF YA!

I really love your videos your family is absolutely lovely and to be included in some of your family's day-to-day life really means something to me I appreciate your videos so very much for this little moment in your life

Grats on your big harvest!

Little Isaiah melts my heart!

I always miss the honey. One day. One day I’ll get my hands on this delicious honey from my favorite KZfaq family 🩷 I’m also in Missouri so I know it will help my allergies!

Sure is a beautiful color

‘I’m the only one that likes honey’ got me laughing

Beautiful honey. A very nice color.

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.

loved the heat gun idea, also so cool how it made the honey look so beautiful!

I enjoyed watching this video, and learning a little more about honey extraction (liquid gold). The best part having you family involved. I'm looking forward to your honey. We just ordered a jar.

I love bees videos ❤❤❤

One word WAW !!

Y'all have such beautiful Soul

11:35 just casually smooshes like 200 bees

You can make things so interesting thank you so much for sharing your journey

WoW I enjoy watching this video , it so informative & the honey is so tasty looking great job you guy's you're truly blessed thanks for sharing you life on the farm with us .

You guys are great and helped me learn a lot about my poultry thanks from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Looks delicious it takes me a really long time to use up a jar of honey as I'm diabetic so I don't indulge in this treat to often. Some day I will order s jar.

Ive waited so long to get some honey for you!

nothing better on a hot day by the pool then a fresh chunk of ...ICE CREAM!! and oh yeah I love honey on the comb with my waffles or Pancakes 🙂

That's awesome man, that's the real deal pure stuff not what you get in the supermarket

hey guys. been following for a long time.. you know what might be kinda cool for packaging up the honey, is if you made your own beeswax and dipped the top of the jar in the beeswax to seal it. plus u could make a stamp and stamp your logo into the wax, sort of like the Kings Seal or whatever its actually called. maybe would be a fun adventure in learning how to make the beeswax, dye it maybe. would be a fun video for me to watch :D

Well done guys 👍 💯 🙏

Dang I’m “late” aka 10 hrs since the video posted and honey is sold out! Either way great job on the harvest and how big the colonies have become. I remember watching when you got the first hive and all of the struggles between then and now yet you’ve never given up and they’re bigger and better than ever! Good stuff!

I don't know why this made me so emotional, i really love your life style i am simply amazed.

do different bees make different-tasting honeys? or is it dependent on which flowers and plants they're around? I'm so fascinated with this. what are your favorite uses of thehoney? got any good or wacky recipes?

Drones also keep the hive warm in the winter.

That heat gun is so cool

I'm a beekeeper in Brazil, and I like seeing this activity from other countries, congratulations on the work.

I ordered honey! Can’t wait! Thx so much!

This really was satisfying!!!

Ooo, looks so yummy!!

So worth it!

You have such Beautiful Animals.

One teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of lemon juice dissolved in lukewarm water is very good in treatment of cold. drink it at least twice a day for a week. wild honey is favourable.

Beautiful family .. There is no doubting the boys are brothers.😊 can not wait to see the big aviary completed

Some of the best honey on you tube!!❤

Again after a long time

Hey sir. Not sure about the heat gun 😭 Here in europe we’re avoiding as much as a possible heating up the honey. It’s kind of destructive for all it’s properties, and might even have an impact on it’s conservation period. Your life’s a dream for many btw :). Have a good one

Just got one of your bottles of honey, super sweet, thank you very much! 😁

A Honey Explosion and it will only be a bigger exploision year after year. Yall are getting very good at this. I am with Uriah. Honey is too sweet for me, although he denied that was the reason, he went on to explain that it is too sugary for him. But Uriah and I both recognize the miracle and the beauty of Bees and their Honey. Love yall.

I just ordered 2 more jars of honey!!!! Thank you!!!!! (Edit: I just got to the end of the video. Definitely going to order still.)

A kind of life I really wanted. So satisfying, so relaxing.

When I was young I didn't care for honey either...now, I love it! A serving a day love to be exact. ♥

Is it possible you integrate your hive to a sylvo system of moringua or tagaste. It will help with the heat, good source of food for honey and high protein/fiber leaves for cattle

Amazing

Try cheese cloth for the wax! Straining

You should get bamboo a giant sock to put on

This type of family we all need ❤working together is a lovely feeling 🇮🇳🇮🇳👍👍👍god bless u for all
