Deanna is completely correct. anyone who claims that they have organic
honey is misleading the public. unless they beekeep in brazil. the label
‘organic’ is worthless any ways….trust me. have a farm and we would never
pay for that label. its about as good as those energy saver stickers on
appliances. and,it is just a trend. we are a small farm that uses old world
practices and aim for complete sustainability. from our own mulching system
to our own pollination and heirloom seeds. Shalom.
Great video. Awesome reaction while tasting the honey. But, while you guys
were taking the frames out of the super, you talked about looking for the
queen. Don’t you have a queen excluder under the super(s)? Or was it just
to make 100% sure?
its a year long process, we harvest honey in the early fall, and are
careful to leave plenty of honey in each hive for them to make it through
the winter. eric.
Watching this video just made me want to keep bees and get ‘my own’ honey!
I’d just love me some of that! Did you know honey will cure colds and other
ailments, especially together with cinnamon (1 teaspoon cinnamon combined
with 1 or 2 tbsn of honey couple of times a day and you’ll be well in no
time) and it’s also just the energy your brain needs for the night? It is
also good when one has high bloodpressure.. And it tastes great too! Thanks
for the vids, love ‘m, keep’m coming please!
i’ve learned from a beekeeper – viewer that you remove one of the outer
frames first so there is room then to pull out the inner frames without
damaging the queen.
Honey is good for pups – it’s recommended with dogs with allergies to
battle the local pollens they battle. Small doses, so you can still have
the lion’s share 🙂
@Rattlerjake1 correct, this was a borrowed extractor, and i didn’t want to
change the valve in case it broke while tightening, i pointed it out to the
owner, eric.
i think many people confuse honeybees with yellow jackets, who are very
aggressive and sting a lot. honeybees only sting when their hive is
threatened. opening their hive is a threat to them, hence i get stung
sometimes. thx for watching, eric.

Have two knives, one you are using and the other one sitting in the hot
water. It will go faster and easier.

I have always had bee hives since I was a kid and honey out of your own
back yard is nothing like the honey u get in the stores it’s the greatest
