Ross Round Honey In The Comb How to make comb honey with Ross-Rounds and Honey Bees! 

I like your "honey bridge" term, I'm stealing it! I also don't use a queen excluder. I've never seen these rounds before, they remind me of petri dishes 😆.

Wonderful, Fred! Always enlightening. Saves people a lot of time doing individual research.

"Crackle of Death" - stealing that.

Thanks for sharing this. I’m considering this type of comb honey next year, and I’ve been wondering about chunk honey and how to make it. Very informative, as usual. 😊🐝

Stressing over watercolour cards I was painting, I thought to myself, well, maybe things are friendlier when they’re imperfect. Nobody noticed my mistakes. I learned it’s more satisfying to give as is than to “perfect and perform” first. Loved this vid. Thank you. 😎🐝👍

I loved my Ross rounds. They made perfect gifts for my family in the UK.

Thank you for a nice video. Looks like honey can come in many different shapes and forms of containers. Please keep it up for all of us to enjoy.

Fred, you always make me smile with your whit and humor while also answering my questions, but I must say, you made LOL when the music started playing and changing to slow motion (at least it looked like it to me) when you added the honey to the jar of chunk comb. That was perfect for the moment, nice my friend!! Have a great week!! 👌

Not sure how I missed this video. Thank you for linking it in your newer video. Thank you.

I prefer the look of the bottle of chunk honey that was topped off. It was so pretty in the jar, golden with the light coming through. It was very interesting to see the Ross rounds in action. Thanks!

I learn a tremendous amount form your video's. I love the diversity of your apiary equipment and the fact that you approach various changes you make in a scientific manner to draw accurate conclusions.

I'm from Australia and I'm trying Ross Rounds this year for the first time. Glad I found your video. Very interesting and helpful as usual. Thank you

I get so much information from your videos Fred!! Thank you so much. You have a knack for explaining and teaching in my opinion. All the way to the tone and relaxed expression of your voice. I’m almost two years into my quest for knowledge about honeybees so I can keep my own. Thanks in large part to you and other great video publishers on RU-vid I believe I will be confident enough this coming spring. Thanks again Fred!! Have a great weekend!!!

FRED! This channel should win an award for the value of education you so kindly share with us for nothing but our thanks! Not even ads enabled on this video. You are doing it for the love of helping the bees and us and you are inspiring thousands of us! Please share as much extreme cold methods with us this year if you can. I have just started this year with one hive and a free swarm that turned up at my yard - initially I thought it was my queen, but nope it was an external swarm ;). I am a Brit from E.Anglia and I now have a permaculture homestead 62 deg North next to Russia in the Eastern Lake lands of Finland. Winters are cold. But the bee hives are thick and the lovely kind Finnish bee keeper I got my bees for is very much a man who works with the nature of bees. When I got the hive he gave me 6 hours of one on one Q&A time and I used the knowledge I had from watching you to br able to ask the right questions ;) My dream is to set up a bee "sauna" in my garden as per Dr Leo Sharashkin. The smell of my hives is so fantastic it really makes me so relaxed and I think if my hubby makes this for me I will want to sleep in there all night ,) Only 2 months in after buying my bees and the difference in my strawberry and Raspberry harvest is incredible. My fruit growing is not professional, but this year thanks to chicken/turkey manure and the pest control services of baby turkeys my fruit yields are off the charts. I would be happy for my bees to have all the honey if they needed it. Because just in pollination on my 2ha land here they are worth their weight in gold ;) Thanks for the amazing work you do. I believe good deeds are rewarded and may you always bee Blessed,!

Great video!!! My 1st year doing Ross Rounds and this helps me a lot. Thank you Fred!

Comb honey is my favorite but I had never seen it sold in rounds before, I always see it in cut rectangles. Very fascinating stuff :D

Just found your channel watched this video and subscribed. You're very detailed and pleasant to listen to.

Thank you so much for another fine video, Fred! Hello from Nita in Idaho.

I'm a first year beekeeper in Bangkok, Thailand and your videos have been very helpful. I only now figured out where you are. I grew up in Summit Township and that remains our home base in the States. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!

Thank you for this delightful and informative video! As a beginner beekeeper, I appreciate you sharing this. Your style made me feel confident and reminded me just how seductive beeswax and honey can be!

Very interesting as I have never heard of Ross Rounds before. I find the whole idea of cut honey, and now also Ross Rounds, very appealing even if I am not keen on chewing on the wax myself. Presenting honey in this way is of course more visually pleasing, and as pure a product as can be(e), so I am sure it will sell quickly at markets, fairs, or in gastro shops and such. There is of course a bit of extra work to produce these rounds, but on the other hand no extraction equipment, or additional process is required, so from that perspective it might actually not end up being more labour intensive at all. Thanks for sharing.

another perfectly presented topic mr dunn!!!! i have never done these before and you make it all seem so simple! grateful as always keep up the good work!!

Fred, great video so far, I need a nap, you put me to sleep again. 🤣 I really like the J Hook from the Honeysted, it's very nice. Frederick Dunn - ASMR videos.

Really appreciate this video Fred. Ross rounds next year for sure!

Delicious looking honey! So glad you are enjoying the hive tools 💛

I’m on my second year of hobby beekeeping. Next year I’m doing 1 super of rounds per hive. This was a great video! I had quite a few questions until watching this video. Thank you!

Wow! This was Awesome! And Your narration of the video was excellent ☆☆☆☆☆ 😎👍📹🎬 All the way from Miami Florida USA

0:48 I’m here because I was just watching Better Bee’s video about Ross rounds, and your video showed up! 😂 I got a Ross round super for Christmas and I’m looking forward to using it in my apiary this year. 😊 Thank you for making this video!

Thank you kindly for this video. It was very informative and thorough. I've been thinking about producing comb honey using this methodology and I now feel ready to do so. :)

My pleasure Fred! Thank you for what you do...

Just got an 8 and a 10 ross rnd kit today from Blythewood bee. Had to look for your video. Looking forward to spring.

Love your posts Frederick, please keep posting👏👏👏👏😁

I like both ross rounds and hogg halves, it give buyers options aside from the 4 jar sizes and the 1/4 & 1/3 gallon jug. The angled labels for the halves are limited, but you can find others. The ability to see the honey and the comb on all sizes is unique. The ross rounds are nice and if you’re having issues with the label sticking to itself, use a small piece of clear double tape between label ends. Currently Michigan has a cottage food law that works, it limits sales and what can be done, but there are legal loopholes for that.

Definitely gonna try this next year. Looks like fun! Thanks Fred👍

The bees and Fred are amazing. Thanks for the great video!

I learn so much from watching your videos. One of these days I just might have the courage to get some bees. If I could just get someone young and enthusiastic to help me. Lol. My family aren't interested and are all flapper when they see a bee

It's a very human moment when even Fred goes to his apiary and forgets his hive tool.

Good video fred I also put a ross round super on I use to use hogg halves but did not have good luck with them

Yet another fantastic video! I love comb honey and think it tastes the best. My mom used to do comb honey. All the parts were made from wood, they were square, some kind of thin wood wrapped into square shape, then loaded into medium sized frames then into medium langstroth hive body. I don't recall if you could put foundation in them. She would give them as gifts, and they were greatly appreciated.

Thank for showing video! I like that stuff. I m beekeepers to! You have a great time

Thanks very much Fred from the emerald isle. I might try next season if I can buy R rounds in Ireland.

25:24 - Money shot and Mr. Dunn salivating. HAHA! Don't record when you are hungry.

That jar of honey looks like pure heaven .

Great video as always! My comment today is not about honey or comb. It's about bees in general. I want you to know that watching your videos had changed my thinking about bees completely. I'll tell you how. I had a bee in my house yesterday. Before watching your videos I would have simply killed that bee without thinking one thought about it. But yesterday, I felt bad about killing it. It was simply trying to get some sweet juices from the pineapple I was cutting, to take back to the hive. So I tried to coax it out of the house but it didn't work. And since I'm allergic, I couldn't just let it stay inside, or tell other he's where to get the set pineapple juice. So, I still had to kill it. It's just the thought process during and after killing it that was completely different than my way of thinking before. Thanks for sharing your videos and knowledge. I'll keep watching!

Makes a beautiful presentation.

Really great video. Very instructive.

Thanks for the video my wife and I are looking at getting some next year and we were on the fence.

Cool video Fred, thank you. When I started my bee hobby last year I was targeting the comb honey segment. I agree the Ross rounds method is a cool technique, my only major gripe about it is all the packaging is not sustainable. I wish their was a more friendly approach to that...

TY for a most well done and instructional video!

Привет коллега. Мы сразу ставим банки. Тоесть сверху улея фанера, в ней отверстия под банки, в банку ставим небольшую вощину, потом банку снял и запечатал. Удачи, спасибо за видио.

Thank you so much Fred. Really enjoyed that. Yummmmmm!

I have two Ross Rounds from about 30 yrs ago in the freezer, my sons 4-h project. I'll take one out one of these yrs to see how it has faired.

love the hive tool!

I use half hogg it’s nice. I may try these next year

Great info 🇦🇺 thanks Fred 👍🏽🐝

I love Fred videos for real. However, in my country what we do in the season, we go to any carpenter or we can do it on our self, we make round or square frames and fit them in out ordinary langstroth frames and put them in the hive, either 10, 8 or even 6 frames. and we sometimes put bees packages and it'll collect as much as we need of honey. that's I believe is cheaper and won't cost that much of money. It's just my point of view no more 😊

Fred, I've found you can use starter strips in Ross Rounds. The bees draw them out just fine You don't have the thicker wax foundation running through the whole Round, which makes a nicer eating experience. As an added bonus, you save some $'s since I cut the foundation you use into 3 or 4 strips.

Great video.

looks delicious!

Hi Fred, Thanks again for all your time putting these videos together. It is very beneficial. I have a quick question for you. How do your weaver bees do filling out the Ross Rounds. I have two weaver hives that I would like to test these out on. Thanks, Tom

Hi Fred. I was wondering, if I notice there is uncapped honey on the RR outer frames after a few weeks, will the bees finish capping it if I put them in the center of the box? (basically just swapping the 100% capped honey to the edges of the box). Thanks you!

I might try some some Ross rounds latter on. When I can afford it I will.

With the slow-mo and smoky jazz music you used in the “topping off” scene, you’re coming pretty close to ‘food porn’ there Fred. 😉 Nice looking stuff!

Thank you so much, a very informative video

Dear Frederick, Again. Many thanks for your amazing contributions to bee keepers world wide. Two questions: Is that video on hive inspection coming soon? Can't wait! AND, what are your impressions of the Weaver Bees. I drove all the way from TN to Navasota, TX to pick up a package (and a few nucs for a neighbor.) They're doing fine but really having to fight the hive beetle. Also saw some mites and I've treated times one. Are yours still doing well? Thanks!

I think it's a good idea ..... you like it

Always love your videos and the vast knowledge you share with us... invaluable! Just a thought, I noticed you use the hive tool to pry on the side where there is no brown plastic circle to protect the comb. Maybe you can protect the round if you pry between frames on the dude opposite of covered rounds facing you? And, you poured unfiltered honey in your chunk comb. Do you normally filter your honey for bottling without comb?

Very cool!

THANKS ALOT. VERY INFORMING AND CALM 👍

Awesome!!! Thank you!

That was was awsome!!

Well here we go again another very interesting video . Let me tell you help me Jesus to be watching and not having a full mouth of water I almost swallowed my tongue that's how hungry I fell , beautiful color of a honey. Insight in the jar with the wax . Your brain is definitely got exploded with happiness thank you for that , almost impossible to be sitting and watching and not making yourself hungry from all of that beauty. I definitely saw it first time Captain honey like that and amazing. Work that those hard-working bees done , usually you see when they slice little squares of Captain honey weed wax and put them in the plastic bag I think it didn't look that nice like the circle ones. Something new for us to tell and show the kids I'm sure this work is not new but for our family interesting to see that thank you for that God bless stay happy be healthy peace. I will be very happy to buy honey like that I wish I was leaving somewhere close to you guys .🌻🥀🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Very cool thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Fred, thanks for another great video! Just wondering if you could put the uncapped frames into another Ross round box in place if a complete frame to get capped and be used, what your opinion on that?

Keep up the videos! If you ever get a chance to just walk around in nature, make some more videos this fall with the leaves changing colors, like some of the other videos you have that are just birds or the foggy lake. No need for voice over, just nature at it's finest.

Very informative video as always. One question have you ever used hoghalfs before you made it clear you like Ross rounds. Thank you

If I had these, my wife would have given everyone she works with one within 24 hours, haha! All of her coworkers got 12oz samples this year.

Really interested to hear how the rest of your ross rounds turn out :)

Nice job

Very helpful thanks

👍 👍 👍 Super Video wieder mal 👍

I wonder if you had some clear shrink wrap that you can put around it to keep the labels on and secure? That's beautiful honey.

Thank you sir.I am from pakistan and i like the way of you explanations

💥Very nice🏆

Nice video! Im looking to do this next year. Since the bees didn't fill the outer rounds. IYO, would it be worth it to rotate the rounds or would that be too much of a hassle?

Beautiful nice

Hi Mr Dunn, Have you ever tried the jar method? My daughter and I were thinking of trying that one, with the mason jars on top for them to build comb and fill with honey... So I was wondering your thoughts on that? We love your channel :) thanks for your time :)

Sorry, I know this is a dumb question but can someone please explain to me, what's the difference between 'normal honey' and these ones? Do they just look different? And what honey I should choose the next time I want some honey?

Would the insulated cover also have a benefit in the summer keeping the hive cool?

Ha Mr Dunn great video u kept talking about getting your bees ready for winter what do u do for your bees to get them ready Thanks and have a great day

Have been following for a while now and as and old-time beekeeper was wondering if the outer Ross round frames could be replaced to the middle of the super in hopes they could be finished off? Tried the square boxes as mentioned below (that's going back a few years for me) but suspect the hives were not strong enough. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these videos. Cheers from New Zealand.

After the first season, how clean do you need to get the plastic frames? My bees seem to deposit a lot of propolis around the edges of the white rings. Glenn

For some reason, I thought that I had already subscribed, whelp did it again. That being said, thank you for this comprehensive video. Unfortunately, my kit that I bought recently was more expensive, but what isn't 2 years later? And they didn't come with 2 clears... but going forward, that will be the plan. I was told from the local supply store that I could sell them for $20 ... hopefully so. I intend to put this on my strong 3 deep hive although I have apimaye hives, so I have no inner cover. Maybe put a shallow or medium super on top with drawn comb? Or would they just pass these to go up top?

Only video I wished you had made was on uses of these honey products. I suspect I may not be the only one that may be from a different part of the world, and the only honey we get is in a can or bottle where it is liquid only. If you had given me the comb, I would be wondering what to do with it in terms of using it / eating it compared to the liquid honey. Still interesting and amazing though.

Fred would it help to swap the cassettes and move the outside ones to the centre to get them to be all filled?

Nice👍👍

Can you move the outer frames into the center and move the center frame to the edges to get the edge frames filled out?

question could you put the unfinished rounds in an extractor spin the honey out and use the rounds with the wax the next year to speed up the process

I really enjoyed this, thank you. However, I think I will stay with cut comb.

Thankyou
