Добавлен 16 ноя 2022
I am a Beekeeper, Farmer, Husband, Father, Veteran. I Love agriculture and anything to do with agriculture!
I’m Located in northern Utah on a family owned farm that’s been in our family for almost 100 years. Proud to be an American. Anything on this channel is simply my onion and how I do things or just me doing my thing. It is not the only way to do things and is simply my way. My videos are simple and how I do things. Not how they should be done videos.

Transferring bees from a Nuc to deep box.
Thanks for the demo. I have the new model, but haven't used it yet as I did Formic Pro on my colonies in the late summer, but I will be giving everyone a round or 2 of OXA in the next few weeks.
Awesome! I want the new one too! It’s sweet!
Enjoy watching people extract their honey!! You have a sweet setup!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!
Pretty location! You don't have inserts for your screened bottom boards? If you rinse out/off the plunger it shouldn't get stuck.
No I don’t have any inserts
What size of feeder pails are those you are using? Who sells them?
They are 1 gallon. I just got them at a container store in Willard Utah
Good video Braken. I can see why you would like solid bottom boards. That is all I have ever had. They say alfalfa honey is a really good tasting honey. I would imagine in Utah you probably don't want to many hives in one yard but it sure is pretty country.
That’s some dark honey what’s the main flow ?
Honestly I’m not sure on this years main flow!
Flip each bucket over and put it back on the lid. That way you can fill each bucket while OA is being administered then when you were done with all the OA for the yard go flip the buckets back over again after OA has settled.
Great idea!
I have a old school wand I use still I have screw bottoms I just set it under the hives and it will go up threw the screen bottom
Get dewalt 😂
lol no way I like my red tools :)
@@barkersbees 😂
Great video Bracken. Way to get on those mites. And there is nothing quite like the golden hour on the Wasatch front. Beautiful🐝😎
That’s a beautiful area where you have your larger yard. Nice work and stay well! Kill those mites!!! 😁
thank you! it is definitely beautiful
I have a Lyson Solar melter and it puts the wax in bars. Good luck!
So cool
@@dtruman123 thanks mate!
Gday Nash, from the Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada. Great vid, will look forward to watching you learn and grow sir.
@@ziggysbees thank you! He will be pumped to have another Canadian fallowing him lol!
what is the white powder?
@@crazyreadr21 super DFM. It’s a probiotic for the bees. Google super DFM for honeybees and it will give you some info
Very cool video. Beautiful country!
Our aster is just starting to bloom now here in north Florida…we get a relay good flow from it, however we have lots of goldenrod but the kind we have here doesn’t have much if any nectar, it does give a bit of pollen but not much of it either. Bracken that’s a beautiful piece of land y’all have there!! I love mountains..probably because I’ve lived here in flatland my whole life🤦♀️ I love to go to the mountains in the Blue Ridge in mid October when the leaves are changing..the most beautiful place God made!! Thanks for sharing!!
No Love to the beea 😢
What do you mean?
Great video Bracken :) Winter will be here before we know it!! Thanks For Sharing!
Yes it will be! Hopefully they are ready for it!
Nice job Bracken! Looks like work! But once you got rolling I imagine it went pretty quick
Yeah haha I can work a lot faster when I’m not trying to video lol.
so cool to watch. do a timelapse of the bees cleaning the buckets. would be nice to watch sped up. thank you!
Yeah I should have done a Timelapse for sure! Next time I will!!
I just put in formic pro in most of my hives. I'll wait a bit then goes in the pollen patties, Super DFM and I'm debating between OA sponges or vaporizing. Thanks for sharing.
I do the sponges and OAV as well. I let the sponges stay on a couple weeks before I do the OAV! I’ve never tried Formic pro.
Those bees on the bag is hornets
Thanks mate!
Thanks for sharing Bracken
My pleasure!!
Great video by the way
Glad you enjoyed it
I know I got yelled at for not wearing wearing gloves
lol… yeah…
Those are Bald Faced hornets.
Thank you
That is amazing!!! I am new to bee keeping, and I am in Utah County. How many hives do you have?
@@ChefinCarson I am right around 40 colonies! That’s awesome you’re down there! We are only couple hours apart!
The “bees” you saw that you didn’t recognise are actually hornets, they’re aggressive and actually feed on honey bees.
Awesome! It's a good feeling to get that job done.
Yes it does!
Nice work and Congratulations.
@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving thank you!
Congratulations.👍
@@dcsblessedbees thank you!
Awesome job!! Bracken what kind of uncapper do you have? Nice extractor also!! Bald faced hornets ..they’ll will hover the hives and knock the bees off one at a time!! Awful critters!
That’s what that is? Dang I didn’t know they looked like that! It’s a cowen uncapped. No idea the model name or anything. Guy gave it to me when I purchased the extractor!
@@barkersbees man that was a deal!! Awesome!!
Yeah I got a good deal on this stuff for sure
Wow man that extractor is bad to the bone! Looks like you had a great crew! Also getting the was processing figured out. Learning curve for sure. And the bees cleaning up the mess…very cool video Bracken. Well done!
Thank you Bruce I appreciate it!
First time I watched one of your videos. THANKS. I have never seen a video about pulling honey. We just finished. Looking for ways to improve our operation. We have no "swinger" either. But we do have a kubota 3901 that we are not using to load honey. We use it to unload...one pallet at a time. I will start bringing it out to load also. Looking forward to part 2, and will suscribe.
Thank you for the comment and the subscribe! Make sure you hit the notification so you know when part 2 drops! Thanks for watching!
Keep at it young man! Went through that hive better than most people I have seen on RUclips! From South Carolina and new to these bees in a box myself!
Thanks for watching! hope you enjoy the videos and the bugs in the box!
Oh no! They fell off?! Yikes! Looks like a nice pull Bracken. 18 deeps from that yard!🍯😎. I see you got the John Deere?
Yes sir! Decent haul. And yes we got the John Deere and kept the red one too so it’s a win win haha!
I’ve had days like that. Just have to grin and keep going. One thing I do is take an old shirt or shop towel and put honey bandit on it and put on the top of the supers as i pull them and stack to help keep robbers away. You can staple it to the OSB or lid if you want too. It helps a little bit. I use a blower like you as well. Once I pull off the boxes from above an escape I blow them out, stack and put the lid on with the shirt/towel. Hope you get a bunch of honey! Stay well and blessings.
That’s a wonderful idea thank you!
That's a nice looking dog you have there. Ever successful beekeeper has to have a nice partner
Yeah he’s a 10 year old black and tan/bluetick coonhound! He’s been my best friend for 10 years!
Awesome Bracken!! Hope it was a great honey year for you!! You’ve grown so much in so many ways though so even if the honey wasn’t an epic year the life/bee lessons you’ve learned and the friends you’ve gained is immeasurable!! May God continue to richly bless you and yours!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that! God bless you as well!
Backen hope you have a great harvest.always strap over 1 high😅😅😅
Yeah yeah yeah yeah hahahaha I know but you know there is always that awe it will work! Lol
Having the right equipment saves a lot of wear and tear on the body! Thanks!
Yes it does!
Yep honey harvest soon!
Time for the hard work😂sounds like you are getting close to being done, then begins the extracting. That is always a good feeling though hard work paying off. Thanks for sharing, Blessed Days...
Make a check list of things to do for each project. Well I caught a huge swarm 5 over 5 of bee . Had it on top of barn. After couple week I decide it was time to take down. I BLOCKRD ENTRANCE with screen and move to bee yard. Which is only 300 feetaway.so I left screen on for 24 hours ,when I open they were all dead except for afew. Hard lesson to learn.
@@russellaymond312 yeah we all learn one way or another haha. I learn the hard way best
HONEY honey. Good stuff. Nice area for bees the way it looks.
@@russellkoopman3004 yeah pretty good place!
Thank you for sharing Bracken
Thanks for watching!
