We Got our Largest Honey Harvest Ever! 

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 😉

The honeycomb melting is so satisfying

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!

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!!

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 ☺️

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!

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

The honey looks so yummy, I ordered a jar!

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 agree with you Uriah bees are fascinating

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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. :)

We got our bees started in June & we are so excited to get our 1st harvest! Great video!! We work with others & have a mentor as well & yes, it’s so great to have all of their knowledge! We have a great community 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

So satisfying

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!!!

It's really cool to see a family working together and having a great time doing it! Many great harvests to you in the future!

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 😁

11:35 just casually smooshes like 200 bees

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

One word WAW !!

I really like the shape of your bottles!

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

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!!

Beautiful honey. A very nice color.

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 !

Well done guys 👍 💯 🙏

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..❤️

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!!!

Sure is a beautiful color

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

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

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

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!

Even their dog likes honey 13:56

I love bees videos ❤❤❤

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 🙂

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

Using a electric hot torch I a good idea but takes a lot of time , so what i do is , I use a electric shouldering iron machine ( of 25watt ) & remove the soldering bit of it & attached a stainless steel wire net edge - which at the end work as a HONEY PAW machine , & work as a butter knife - really smooth really fast

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

Nature's liquid gold! Thank you so so much for sharing us your experience harvesting honey. So sorry that last year a lot of bees had challenges surviving. Pray that this year your hives will all survive and thrive throughout the entire winter! I actually didn't know you can eat with the comb together. That looks really awesome!

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

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

13:49 ayoo this is supposed to be wholesome

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.

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.

Again after a long time

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

Where did you get that bucket/box for the layens hives please? I've been searching for something similar but couldn't find it.

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.

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!

It looks like you guys have a great family! Good job!

A hundred jars!😮

Even your youngest boy is getting old. He was only baby when I started watching.

Heating the wax with the hot air blower is the worst possible idea! The honey is heated and after 40°C its enzymes are destroyed and you have only worthless sugar juice.

Hello, doesn't the heat you use to melt the caps also damage the honey?

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

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

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.

yayyyyyy!!!!!

love your choice of honey jars.

You don't smile bro Smile and ur channel will grow!

Amazing

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

Ive waited so long to get some honey for you!

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

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.)

Grats on your big harvest!

I like this... I hope one day i could harvest my own bees.. Im from dom. Republic

Little Isaiah melts my heart!

You should get bamboo a giant sock to put on

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

Ooo, looks so yummy!!

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 .

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?

I enjoyed watching this wonderful movie and welcome you to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thank you to the photography team and my beekeeping friends. It is truly worthy of admiration and participation. We can develop the bee industry all over the world with cooperation and love for bees استمتعت بمشاهدة هذا الفيلم الرائع وارحب بكم في المملكة العربية السعودية . شكرا فريق التصوير و اصدقائي مربين النحل فعلا يستحق الاعجاب و المشاركة . نستطيع ان نطور صناعة النحل في كل العالم بالتعاون وحب النحل

Are you expecting again😮 11:59

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.

We had a great harvest this year too!

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

OMG 15 WOA!! CONGRATULATIONS!!

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

Try cheese cloth for the wax! Straining

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

You guys are so awesome

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. ♥

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