Gourmet honey means premium quality honey.
Bees create a honey with minimal intervention by a man using nectar that they gather from flowers from the area. The color and flavor of the honey vary depending on the source of nectar that the bees collect it from. This jar Honeycomb has been naturally produced in our backyard Hive by the bees.
Mason jar beekeeping happens to be one of the latest inventions in beekeeping. It is well suited for small spaces and all that it takes is a little research and planning for one to begin. All beekeepers who reside in the city or anyone with a suburban backyard can now raise bees the Mason jar way.
Mason jar beekeeping entails combining Mason jars with an existing hive. The jars are placed above the hive box supers.

Great job 👏
That's incredible.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Wow nice
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, a method I am meaning to try :)
You should!
Genius
All the best.
very interesting
Glad you think so!
THANK YOU.
😍
All the best.
I had a similar idea but I stead of vertical jars I want it to be horizontal.
Your way is not bad especially for weight.
Thank you.
Love the concept. I will be implementing in a few days. How do you ensure the queen doesn't go up and lay eggs in the super because there's no . I watched your other video where you break down the design but couldn't see anything to keep the queen out.
I keep an eye on the frames. In a way that there is always enough space for her.
Amazing work! I would love to try this. Quick question what did you put in the new jars to get them to start?
I make them from casting wax and also buy them from Ebay: 30x Bee Hives Wax Frames Honeycomb Foundation Sheets Beekeeping Honey Equipment
very practical - but how do you remove the bees from the jars? thanks
I leave the jar open for a few minutes.
Very nice
Every how many days you replace the jars with a new one?
There is not an specific time. All depend how dedicated are they to fill it up the jar.
And also depend of the season and how much nectar is available. It can be 2 to 3 Months.
About how much do you sell the jars for? Also, do you fill the remaining space with honey or sell them as they are?
Really neat video, thanks.
The price for a 350g jar of this organic honey made from the nectar of flowers is AUS$35.00 free postage. ( We do not feed the bees with sugar ) It is 100% Honey.
@@BravoAustralia Nice!
Nice hive :) I'm curious to know how you get the bees to leave the jars without retrieving their precious honey?
You can shake them out or just leave the jars open and next to the jar for a while and they'll mostly fly out in an hour or so--THEN shake out the rest gently.
@@straypurplecat Gotcha.. So a bit of time and mild encouragement. I'm a bit surprised as I'm usually fighting off bees for any honey nearby, lol. I guess if they aren't in a panic, the honey's not considered lost yet. :)
After I unscrew it, i leave the jar outside for a little bit in the open air. They just leave the jar naturally and start working on other ones. :)
@@BravoAustralia Very cool. Thanks for clarifying.
Hey m8 great video 🙏🙏🙏
So guessing once all the bees have left the jars the honey is good to eat?
Much appreciated and where can I find a DIY how to make your hive
I live in Ipswich QLD 😎👍
Yes, honey is ready to be taken when it is all sealed. Other way it can get fermented. Here is a video of how did I make the box : ruclips.net/video/Qb6c1lCwXAM/видео.html
Here is a video Spanish & English of how I made it: ruclips.net/video/Qb6c1lCwXAM/видео.html
@@BravoAustralia But why doesn't regular honey ferment? (Honey from the store.)
@@TheRainHarvester Basically the bee's brew honey. When it's finished fermenting to their satisfaction, they cap the cells, much like a brewer bottles beer at the optimum point of fermentation, to starve the process of air and create the finished product. So, you don't want to grab it early. Commercial honey is harvested in much the same way by professionals. But they pasteurize it to kill off any residual yeast, just to be sure. Some say for that reason it's not "real" honey.
Wondering how did you get them away from the jar. Interesting
Me too
I've seen other videos of them shacking them out gently...
It is only left open for a while until they themselves realize that something has happened and that they have to return to their hive.
@@BravoAustralia thanks!
@@BravoAustralia to me that’s a lot nicer than to shake them out. I like your way of caring for the bees. I’ve seen some others using jars. I want to try this. I have my first hive. I got a swarm last May. So right now all their hard work belongs to them. I’ll put a honey super on it this spring. But I’m going to do it with the jars. I see you used top bar. But I have the Langstroth with 8 frames. I assume I can still make it work? Do you have any Langstroth hives?
So how would this work in colder climates?
Our climate here is semi tropical
While waiting for bees to leave jar how do you stop yellow jackets or robbing taking place
They are not around my place.
Do the sealed cells ever have bee embryos? If not, why? (I'm learning)
Nop. So far the Queen never comes up.
usually what you do is make the opening to the jars too small for the queen but big enough for the workers to fit through
You could incorporate a queen screen divider to prevent her from entering them. If you want to be absolutely sure.
@@brandont8040 Yes it can be done but there is no need right now. The Queen never show up on the jars so far.
I always try to have enough empty space where the Queen lays her eggs. So there is no need for her to come up to the jars.
How is the box constructed?
Here is a Video of the box: ruclips.net/video/Qb6c1lCwXAM/видео.html
Can you please tell me how are they not stinging you? I want to keep bees as well so how do you do that?
They can sting me if Iam not careful.
@@BravoAustralia so slow and steady and keeping calm is the key would you say?
Exactly
Do you guys have Africanized bees in Australia?
No we do not.
Where is the queen during the process
The Queen is in the lower chambers, she doesn't come out during a process like this. :)
😐😑💖👋😌🤗
Thank you.
Hi, How could I buy this jar ? I mean how much it is and how do I contact you ?
Thanks.
Not available at the moment.
where is the queen
She is on some where on the frames.
Qué buen video!!! But why do you have la uña sucia? 😫
