920pmwhere do you purchase queen excluder and other tool for topbar hives?

What a mess! And NOTHING is sterilized. Who in their right mind would do this?

Nice Golden Honey

How many frames of brood do you allow for in front of the excluder?

Are your hives still going?

سلام جميل

Did you make the top bars if so how did you put the V in?

How long were the bees in the Nuc before you transferred them?

A Kitchen Mixer would crush that easily. For medium size batches. That is what I would use. Then strain it afterwards.

Wow, this is amazing, 4 weeks judge colonies in those hives. Feeding them does really boost them up. It shows . Unreal . 👍

Why do you harvest brood frames?

Don't shake Queen cells !

What is the purpose of excluding the queen in a top bar hive?

Really enjoyed the video and learned a lot .

I’m sick with a sore throat and I can’t stop watching videos about honeycomb and I’m really craving it even though I’ve never tasted one before

Thanks for sharing. No bees yet but , I am tracking wild bees in my area of Japan and setting up traps of bamboo and grass skeps that I have made my self . Caping off old pipes and making narrow entrances hoping to catch several swarms. This is a new adventure not owning but building and hopefully catching bees myself. Some people reduce the space for the winter . Maybe check your records of their progress and determine when to reduce living space or when to feed them their own honey) I like that!) thank you h or this informative video! How have they fared since then?

WAY more steps and parts to cleanup than I prefer. You've got multiple racks to clean and a million bits of wax in the honey requiring a multi stage process. Far easier to cut your capped comb into a bowl or bucket then crush to rupture all the comb cells. Pour that mix into a nylon net bag made for honey extraction and let it drain into your storage container. Two steps, and done. The wax stays behind in the nylon filter bag where it can be rinsed clear of honey residue and melted down for whatever you want to use it for. Beautiful top bar comb though!!

Is there any pros to extracting honey using this method as opposed to the modern method? Seems wasteful and inefficient

Honey comb centrifuges have been around for at least a couple of centuries. Such would be much faster , much easier, much more efficient, and much cleaner than the approach demonstrated here.

Subscribed please do the same I am in Alberta cheers and best to you

Take it out to the bee’s and let them clean up the extra honey in your wax before you use it.

You can render the all wax even the queens eggs wax

Idk why you wouldn’t feed the bees being down hives.

How wide and long are your top bars?

You do a good job of explain WHAT you are doing, but it would be so much or rewarding to watch if you explained WHY you are doing it. I asked WHY so many times in this video. I think if you explained WHY you are doing things as you do them you would have many more subscribers.

Excellent

Excelente miel de cera pura

So satisfying

I just cut a rectangular hole in a follower board and nailed a piece of queen excluder over it. If your entrance is right at the end of the hive that is where the queen will lay and you should not need an excluder anyway.

Muy buen video amigo, pasate por mi canal y suscribete yo me suscribo al tuyo, un saludo desde España.

Hallo Nice Video Viele Grüße aus Deutschland

Could you compensate for wind noise? I missed some of your comments. What was the top bar with the screen used for?

Very nice. Thanks. ✌

I am wondering why did you harvest those honey with brood? You should leave those combs alone. I had been working on top bar hives for 17 years and usually those combs right at the back (roughly 10 to 12 combs are all without brood).

Hey John do you think you could do a vidio on how you started your nuc colony or perhaps do a voice over for a lil more info?

Hi. I am amazed at the tranquility of their bees. What does it do to make them so calm? yes i can know

Where did you get you're queen excluder? Thank you!

Thank you for that! A wonderful video and it answered a lot of questions for me! Keep up your good work!

A potato masher would probably work better than the plastic spatula.

That was by far the most beautiful comb I have ever seen in a top bar video. The color was so vibrant!

Hay u need a fruit press.

Nice video.. thanks!

Beautiful Honey

Could you make the excluder “taller” and not bother with wood top?

Can't you just smooth the way threw like a cheese cloth to get the xtra honey

Look how thick the,comb is yumm2

Nice_visit_a video_on_my_channel_to_get_shoutout .ckjc

Did you bother to do a little research and find out you don't use excluders in top bar hives? That is part of top bar hives -letting the Queen have full access as she sees fit and having a more natural hive? God Bless you.
