Doug! I just found your channel and I love it! I love how thorough you are and all the real-time examples you use. I do not have bees, as I do not yet have a home. But one of the very first things I want to do is keep a few hives. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.
thanks for the warning. lol. hubbie found a forgotten nest and brought home combs, but idk what to do so im looking. he was already in that mindset, cant stop him now. friend clearing g the nest for a couple said, yes will provide. so, now we are looking at all that is needed. meanwhile I have honey combs. thats why I'm here.
I'm doing my first harvest today (here in Umbria, Italy) and have been reading and watching videos in preparation - yours has been the most helpful, thank you. Nice, clear close-up shots and yours is the first explanation I have seen of the best way to use the capping scratcher. Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video to help new beekeepers.
I'm only 13 now but I want to have honeybees when I buy a house. Lavender honey is the best in my opinion, and I've been learning a lot about bees. Like how you can't take honey from bumblebees because they only make enough to last them through the winter.
Lexana thanks so much for commenting on my video. I'm so glad you would like to become a beekeeper. We can always use more of those. Keep learning about the world and the bees.
I'm not a beekeeper and have zero desire to become a beekeeper, but I love watching videos like this. It's honestly relaxing for me to watch someone harvest honey. There's no technology involved here, it's good old fashioned farm work. I'm a lefty too, by the way.
This was so relaxing and thorough in explaining the process. I don't even have an interest to harvest my own honey but love watching people extract them for some reason?! 😅😅😅
Thank you for the wonderful video. I love watching honey extraction process, there’s something so relaxing about it... especially when it’s done so well and gently like how you do it! Great explanation of what’s going on too. I love learning new things.
Allah (God) says in the Noble Quran about bees theses Quranic verses: ( And your Lord inspired the bees, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect, Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think)
NICE VERSE , BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND ONE WAY TO THE FATHER AND THAT'S THROUGH🙏JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR🙏 I UNDERSTAND YOU FOLLOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE BUT IT HAS BEEN FULFILLED AND THE MESSIAH HAS COME AS PROPHESIED IN YOUR QURAN AND THE BIBLE , MOHAMMED CLEARLY TOOK SOME THINGS FROM THE BIBLE AND MADE HIS OWN BOOK ,BY YOUR OWN FOLLOWERS JESUS APPEARED TO THEM AND HAS SHOWED MOHAMMED IN HELL THIS FOR A REASON SO YOU MAY MAKE IT TO ETERNAL LIFE. THERE ARE NO VIRGINS WAITING FOR YOU ! JESUS IS LORD! 😇🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for sharing this video my kids were interested in learning how the honey they just put on their waffles made it to the bottle. They enjoyed the video thoroughly!
I know I’m a year late, but this video just came up in my recommendation. Even if I don’t have bees, I’d love to collect honey and watching people do it is amazing! Thanks for the video!
"The smell is amazing" Yes!! I have yet to make my first harvest, but when I was checking my hive recently, the aroma was absolutely intoxicating even from several feet away! There is nothing like the smell of fresh honey in the air!
Hey Doug. Former NW Hoosier here. We were in LaPorte and now Florida. We're planning on moving back north soon. And planning on 10-20 acres with animals and BEES and need to learn how. Great Video.
That's too funny! I remember the first time I opened a beehive and heard that buzzing. My heart was pounding and my brain was saying run away, and I had a bee suit on!
I have become addicted to bee keeping videos the last couple weeks. If you told me as a teenager that at 39 you will spend hours of your week watching other people do a hobby you do not do, im pretty sure my head would have exploded from disappointment
Just like to say thank you, for such a thoughtful and very educational video I hope to bring a bee hive to my new home when I move as I'll always have "bee friendly" flowers all year round, if they produce honey its practily useless to me but there wax would be a delight
I have used honey for more than 30 years but I really never watch the video on how they take the honey out of the honeycomb and this is amazing what's more amazing fact I made this little creatures which best thing but reproduce the best honey ever thank you God and thank you farmer awesome
Thank you for such a detailed delightful explanation of “from the field to the jar” extraction.. I feel far more ready as a “first timer” after watching you!
Just would like to suggest to you to put a screw in your peice of wood that you rest your frames on when decapping. The point to the screw will keep your frames from sliding around. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Your explanation and demonstration appear very helpful, I have bee hives on my farm that were given me. I didn't ever put bees in them but I have "inherited" a colony this year in those hives and I didn't know how to harvest the honey.
Honey is my preferred topping for toast and oatmeal and my preferred sweetener for tea. Thanks for posting this video. It was fascinating and informative. Thanks for doing what you do to keep us supplied with honey.
Where are you in NW Indiana? I just moved from there to SW Virginia in 2022 and I think it's time to harvest my honey for the first time. I got my bees in early June of 2023. Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm watching this at 2:30 am and starting to get tired. When he started spinning the frames, the music started, which in my sleepy mind reminded me of a jack in the box. My next thought was, "I hope nothing jumps out of there." 😂
Nice video! I would never be able to do that. I got stung by a black wasp on the ear when I was younger and have been terrified of anything that buzzes since lol. Cool to see another hoosier👍🏼
Hi William, I put some links for the tools I use in the video description. Here is the link for the uncapping knife: amzn.to/2Mml6FH I think it's about half the price of the be supply stores and free shipping. I hope this helps and thanks for watching the video.
Great video, very helpful! Thank you for the tip about the cap scratcher, I definitely would have used it the wrong way. I know this video is a few years old & maybe you're harvesting differently now, but I was thinking wouldn't it help if you notched the piece of wood that you rest the frames on while uncapping to it the bucket & hold it in place better for you? Also, maybe make a top notch in the middle of the wood to set the frame into so it doesn't slide around? Just a couple of thoughts I had.
Why do you have so many layers? Do you need that many layers? Can you get honey from all the layers? Can you only get honey from supers? Your response would help me a lot. New subscriber here!!
+STARLIGHT ABUTEEN I need 2 deep brood boxes to hold the bees so that they will over winter. The rest of the layers are honey and they are harvested and removed before winter. The exact configuration of boxes that you will need will depend on what part of the world you are in and what your weather conditions are.

hubbie found a forgotten nest and brought home combs, but idk what to do so im looking. he was already in that mindset, cant stop him now. friend clearing g the nest for a couple said, yes will provide. so, now we are looking at all that is needed. meanwhile I have honey combs. thats why I'm here.
Sounds like you should start bee husbandry.

Susan thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad this video helped you. I enjoy beekeeping and hope to share my knowledge. Good luck on your harvest!
I’m going to be in Umbria in April! If u are selling your honey, I’d love to know details. Thx!
This video is as important now (6yrs later) as it was the day it was posted. Good *free* tutorials are always needed
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. That was believe it or not my very first video on RUclips.

@@DougtheBeeGuy you now got me interested in getting a hive for myself and harvest the honey for myself and also make presents to others :D thank you!
My 9-year old son likes your wonderful video very much.
Now i see why my uncle likes beekeeping so much
The honey extractor spinny thingy looks like fun
Thank you for the wonderful video.

I'm waiting for the day I get my own property and house and am able to get bees. Love your videos. Extremely satisfying watching you do this.
The sights and sounds took me back to my uncle's sticky honey house. I hadn't thought about that smell in years. Well done sir.
My girls and I are studying honeybees this week and this was such an enjoyable video. We absolutely loved it!
Doug, I would love to volunteer my time to help you with your harvest and jaring. I just love watching these videos and you skill is amazing!
Thanks, very good video. I eat lots of honey and now will know how it is extracted. Wild flowers and buckwheat honeys are my favorites!
Thanks so much Sebastien! I'm glad you learned about honey processing.
Thank you for sharing this video my kids were interested in learning how the honey they just put on their waffles made it to the bottle. They enjoyed the video thoroughly!
This is the same reason we watched this video. My kiddos asked how they get honey.
Who else just loveeesss these videos
Hello Hannah, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Very informative. Thanks 🙏
Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you could gain some knowledge from my video!

I don't know why I enjoy this. I may be getting old :(
Nah it's just very cool to watch how things are done!
Bee harvesting is the only thing that makes me satisfied.
Thanks so much for watching.
Hello Lissy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
I will be starting my first hive this year and your video was so informational and very relaxing!!
Thank you!!
Thanks so much for the great compliment. I hope you have great success with your new endeavor.
This is the most satisfying honey extraction video i watched
Just picked up my first hives for our farm and can't wait to teach the kids about it.
Hello Susan, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
"The smell is amazing" Yes!! I have yet to make my first harvest, but when I was checking my hive recently, the aroma was absolutely intoxicating even from several feet away! There is nothing like the smell of fresh honey in the air!

I like how your channel is called “Doug the bee guy” XD
Straight forward explanation, simple and concise. Thank you too for showing us how to use the scratcher.
Excellent step-by-step instructions. Thank you!
Dominick thanks so much for the great compliment! I'm so glad you got some value from my video.
I am amazed by this. I never had any idea how this was done. So cool.
Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you learned how honey is harvested.
Thanks Doug - really appreciate you taking us along and sharing some expertise!
That uncapping is so satisfying!!!!!!!!!!!
At 4:12, I nearly toppled over because I was wearing headphones and that bee buzzing scared the crap out of me 😂😂
That's too funny! I remember the first time I opened a beehive and heard that buzzing. My heart was pounding and my brain was saying run away, and I had a bee suit on!
@@DougtheBeeGuy That's amazing, I would've dropped everything and run. By the way, keep up the good work😀
Thanks so much Snow!
Saaaaaame
Thank you for explaining this. I love nature and natural things. I plan to use honey in my homemade, cold process soaps.
What a beautiful job you made of that. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much Nexus!
Hi,thanks for your video, it is good, we are manufacturer of bee equipment and bee products from China for 15 years
Thanks for watching!
The crap I ended up with I have to work on constantly, no time for Chinese junk, like crap that came. Out of Japan I the 70’s and 80’s
I have become addicted to bee keeping videos the last couple weeks. If you told me as a teenager that at 39 you will spend hours of your week watching other people do a hobby you do not do, im pretty sure my head would have exploded from disappointment
Thank you for blessing us with this video! Very informative! 😁
Thanks so much Olivia. I'm so greatful that you enjoyed learning about honey.
Just like to say thank you, for such a thoughtful and very educational video I hope to bring a bee hive to my new home when I move as I'll always have "bee friendly" flowers all year round, if they produce honey its practily useless to me but there wax would be a delight
Hello Shane, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Watching you scratch the caps was so satisfying for some reason lol.
Ide love to have this job. Great work 👍
I have used honey for more than 30 years but I really never watch the video on how they take the honey out of the honeycomb and this is amazing what's more amazing fact I made this little creatures which best thing but reproduce the best honey ever thank you God and thank you farmer awesome
I can’t wait to get out of my apartment so I can have a bee hive . I’d love to make honey

I feel far more ready as a “first timer” after watching you!
Hello Laura, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Thank you for sharing how the honey we all love is made.
Thank you for this content. My 3 yr old and I appreciated the lesson. I had never seen that before.
Glad it was helpful!
The way it should be done without doubt. Beautiful Presentation.
how regularly do you harvest the honey?
Just would like to suggest to you to put a screw in your peice of wood that you rest your frames on when decapping. The point to the screw will keep your frames from sliding around. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This is very satisfying, you should have more subscribers!
Thanks so much for the compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks ! Excellent video editing. Im very excited to crack open my hive for the first time next week.
Hello Jenny, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
got asmr tingles when he was removing the cappings of the combs
Your explanation and demonstration appear very helpful, I have bee hives on my farm that were given me. I didn't ever put bees in them but I have "inherited" a colony this year in those hives and I didn't know how to harvest the honey.
My nephew he is 10 years old and he is doing bees! He is a pro now!
You have been a great aid in helping me understand how to keep bees and process honey. Thank again
do the bees get upset when you shake them off? we don’t have full bee suits and are wondering if we’d get stung after shaking them off like you do
This video was soo satisfying to watch. I’m loving your videos I’ve learned so much from you, thank you!!
It's amazing hope to start same project soon thanks for all the effort you have made in teaching people who are green
All the best
Honey is my preferred topping for toast and oatmeal and my preferred sweetener for tea. Thanks for posting this video. It was fascinating and informative. Thanks for doing what you do to keep us supplied with honey.
You are so welcome!

I'm watching this at 2:30 am and starting to get tired. When he started spinning the frames, the music started, which in my sleepy mind reminded me of a jack in the box. My next thought was, "I hope nothing jumps out of there." 😂
I would love to have a grandpa like him
Thank you very much for the great compliment.
I never thought watching honey being Harvested would be so entertaining 😂
Thanx Doug for the video. My OCD would compel me to use the honey scratcher!!! LOL
Hello Christina, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
This is interesting. I always wondered how it was done.
Hello Jenna, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Hello friends! I am also starting beekeeping in Nepal. I saw your video it is really amazing. Thank you!!
Uncapping is oddly satisfying
These videos are very informative... From kenya🇰🇪
Wow, thank you I won’t take for granted when I buy my next jar of honey!
I learned from watching. I wonder however how and when you clean the extractor drum? I am just a beginner beekeeper from Canada.
Hello Sylvie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Nice video! I would never be able to do that. I got stung by a black wasp on the ear when I was younger and have been terrified of anything that buzzes since lol. Cool to see another hoosier👍🏼
I have got to get into this. I thought about it most of my life. Time to get on it.
So satisfying and relaxing watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them
Thanks for explaining the decapping comb. I would've messed up with it!
Thank you. I'm getting ready to harvest honey and you show how to properly uncap the frames and other methods.
Wonderful!
Very nice video. Now I know what to do to get my honey out. Thanks.
Thanks David! I'm glad I could help you.
Lovely video, Doug! I find your beekeeping videos really relaxing
That was so satisfying to watch!
Hello Joan, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

Combine this with making beer and wine will be a brilliant all round hobby lol
He’s so wholesome I love him
where do you buy the uncapping knife
Hi William, I put some links for the tools I use in the video description. Here is the link for the uncapping knife: amzn.to/2Mml6FH I think it's about half the price of the be supply stores and free shipping. I hope this helps and thanks for watching the video.
16:53 Most satisfying
Hello Jackie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
thank you for this wonderfull vid out of everybee keeper you're number1!
Wow, thank you!
This video is absolutely the "bee's knee's"
Imma start my own beekeeping journey today..

Hello Bonnie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
Doug this is great stuff! Very well edited and informative! Is there a way we can order some of that honey online??
Thanks so much Clark! We are working on updating the website for orders and the new postage prices.
Text Jules your info and I'll send you some.
This is a fantastic video for someone like me who is trying to get into the business! Thank you so much!
Seeing what you guys have to go through I now understand why supermarkets have this stuff for nearly $10 -15 a bottle good stuff
So, I guess the uncapping comb could also be called a.......
Honeycomb?
I'll see myself out.
Perfect dad joke 🤣
These vids teach so much in a short time great work
This is so satisfying! Thanks for sharing
Why do you have so many layers? Do you need that many layers? Can you get honey from all the layers? Can you only get honey from supers? Your response would help me a lot. New subscriber here!!
+STARLIGHT ABUTEEN I need 2 deep brood boxes to hold the bees so that they will over winter. The rest of the layers are honey and they are harvested and removed before winter. The exact configuration of boxes that you will need will depend on what part of the world you are in and what your weather conditions are.
You are the best harvest Doug
Greetings from Fishers. I enjoyed your video, and I'm thinking of starting my own hive next spring. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for the compliments. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Take the plunge , beekeeping is an amazing adventure.
This video made me hungry
Thank s a lot for Sharing Doug!
Something i've always wondered about. THANKS
