Son-of-a-gun! This was a wonderful and very informative vlog. I have never seen bee hives or anything like this before now. You have a nice teaching voice and explain things so everyone can understand. Fantastic.
Reminds me of my childhood when a friend of my father's used to have beehives. He used to have it as a Business. He was an old german guy. He used to produce Ti Tree honey in Queensland and it used to go candied. I loved that honey. Thank you Colin for bringing back memories from over 60 years ago. Will be 76 in about a month's time!
Wow what a wonderful process of extracting the honey. Thank you Colin for showing us the process from start to finish. It is so amazing what the bees produce. I agree with you that you put your heart and sole from start to finish. Congratulations Colin on your first year of harvesting your honey. Have a great week. God Bless.
Your honey has been a labour of love ❤️ I was going to say blood, sweat & tears, but that didn’t sound so appealing 🤭 I am looking forward to buying some honey 🍯 Welcome home to Sherlock too, exciting times. 😎 I wonder if the 5 year ago you, ever envisioned this is what you’d be doing. It seems to suit you both so well and it’s an absolute pleasure tagging along for the ride with you both. Em 💜
If you keep up with the bees, it might be worth building a dedicated space just for dealing with the honey. If nothing else it will save you having to clean all the kitchen appliances
I will never look at a jar of honey the same way again. They talk about 'busy bees', well they have nothing on the beekeepers and honey profucers. The cost of honey is understandable now. First, the bees work diligently to fly from flower to flower gathering pollen. Second, you work just as hard getting it into jars to be enjoyed. I never imagined the process involved to get honey into jars. Good on you for once again educating, entertaining and making my Friday a day I can always look forward to with a smile. 🍯🍞🐝
Some years ago, my husband , Peter, kept bees. He went on a course in Writtle Agricultural College with his friend and they qualified as beekeepers. We had hives in my father-in-law's garden for a while and when it was time to extract it our four children helped. We were harvesting wildflower honey and so could use a rotary extractor. I well remember the sticky door handles and surfaces and the fact that all six of us (the children and us) used all the hot water to clean up the kitchen and ourselves. In spite of us taking over her house for the day, my lovely mother -in-law fed us when needed and thoroughly enjoyed herself. It's a very satisfying experience and boy! do you sleep well after it.
This whole enterprise of yours is absolutely marvelous and Colin, I’ve never seen you happier. Truly a win-win situation. Looking forward to seeing Sherlock next week in his beautiful new home.
After you’ve had raw honey, there’s no way you can consume the processed stuff. Can’t wait until it’s available to be shipped to America. Congratulations!
Congratulations! Thanks for another entertaining and informative video. I hope you enjoy your well-deserved rest. Looking forward to meeting Sherlock, and hoping for a wee update on the lady birds soon. Cheers!
Having just returned home from Turkey after a paragliding accident (I will be ok) it’s great to watch you guys. The fun, the jollies and laughter you give me is immense. Keep doing what your doing, good result on the honey, I will keep you updated on my 4 N.Ireland hives next year. Xx
Guys that was fascinating to watch, thank you very much for making this weeks episode. I never realised how much process went from getting honey to a jar. Really informative to see. (y) well done Colin for all that hard work and well done Shaun for holding the camera all that time. What a marathon that was. Have a good relaxing weekend :-) x
OUTSTANDING!!! What a great vlog. Cannot wait for next year when, hopefully, you can ship to the US. The honey looks amazing, and my mouth is watering just watching.
That vlog was so interesting and so much knowledge I did not know goes into making honey , Thank you so much for taking the time and patience to vlog and show everyone how much work goes into harvest the honey .❤❤❤❤❤❤
So very cool from beginning to end. The only suggestion I have is to get a soft wheeled cart to take the supers to your spot away from the hives and then have an table there so you don't have to bend over or get down on your knees unnecessarily. Ahem.
Hi Colin & Shaun, this was a really wonderful video! Great editing. It was really interesting to see the whole process, you did a great job explaining Colin. How wonderful you have Sherlock...he's in very good hands with you guys...he'll have a wonderful home! Hope he settles in well! Please give Otis & Ollie a cuddle for me. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💖💖
Excited for next week, the 2 bee/honey vlogs have been so interesting as well. Also thought the prostate vlog was really honest and informative well done to both of you.
This was a fantastic episode. I was fascinated with the collection and pressing of your honey. You both are great Infront of the camera . Well done and im really looking forward to more bee content as it is so interesting .Thankyou so much guys 👍🐝
That was a lot of work! I don't think I've ever seen honey that was so thick. Giving each bottle the personal touch makes it so nice. Can't wait until you can ship some to the USA. 💖💖💖💖
Simply superb, world-class production and presentation. Colin could make the local phone directory seem fun and fascinating enough to make me want to live there. Cannot wait for availability of the honey in the States. I feel lucky and honored to share the planet with you both. (And just what DOES make Shaun's whole week??? Laughed out loud!)
Well done, Colin and Shaun { ! }, ! It's the happiest I've seen you in a long while Colin ! The Bee therapy, has OBVIOUSLY worked a treat ! Long may it continue ! Stay safe and BEE happy ! Love to you both ! Stu xx
That honey looks amazing. I was given a jar of honey by a neighbour recently, I've just had to open it and sample some 🐝🍯 Your vlog has made me really appreciate how much work goes into getting honey from hive to jar.
WOW! Great vlog Colin. I enjoyed this so much. And with the lengthy process that you have to do, I agree that the self-satisfaction you get is a plus. Take care both of you. Have a great weekend. Shaun, enjoy ABBA. Cheers 🥰🥰
Excellent vlog on processing honey, the hour just flew by! I am wondering how regulation there is in beekeeping and then processing the honey. You have mentioned and showed a lot, but always feels like there is more .
Well done. I used to be self sufficient and produced a lot of stuff for sale. Butter, cheese, yogurt as well as goats milk and i know how hard you worked on the honey. Its knackering but worth it. Well done xxx
Thank you Shaun and Colin for yet another great video, and well done for all your hard work, and to all the Bees of course for producing such delicious honey,
What a superb vlog, absolutely fascinating! I couldnt do all that but, along with the lovely background music, i found it very relaxing watching it. Thanks guys xx
Very interesting & informative! But, wow, sooo labor intensive!! LOVE the beautiful jars & labels & can only imagine how delicious the honey is! Job well done guys! ❤🐾🐾
I love watching your adventures especially with this new adventure with the bees 🐝. Watching you extract the honey, my mouth was watering Lol I love honey 😂. I can't wait for when you will be able to sell and ship to the US. Soon I hope 🤞
EXCELLENT VLOG !! Full of great information about beekeeping and producing honey. Silly question......How and when do the bees sleep? i will be anxious to try the honey when it becomes available in the USA. Loved the yellow and black tee shirt! I think you and the bees worked equally hard getting that honey into those jars. 😊😊
I am so pleased that you care about the dear little bees, so much. Such appreciation for the creatures we depend upon is important, & that have found such a fulfilling hobby - as another ASD, I am glad you’re rewarded with a successful project
I can see Shawn proud of you on every sentence you say, especially when you go very technical ❤❤❤ The label is so nice! Really good looking, very professional not losing the handmade aspect! You guys are lovely and inspiring! All the best!
Hi guys, thank you for all your videos I've loved them from the start. My question is, when you say it has to have a certain water content to be called honey, what is it called if the water content is higher? Thanks again can't wait for the next vlog.
You can sell it as bakers honey, but to be honest, if any of ours was over the allowed level we'd give it away or use it ourselves. We save the best for you :)
That was an amazing vlog, I did a bee keeping course a few years ago but unfortunately have nowhere to keep any hives but I think I have learned more from your bee vlogs than I did on the classroom based course. Your vlogs are so informative, the prostate vlog with your openness and honesty was eye opening, it’s something that is not talked openly about unlike breast cancer, where we are publicly encouraged to check our boobs and go for regular screening, which reminds me I have my mammogram next week. Ouch !! Really looking forward to next weeks vlog.. Sue x
Colin and Shaun your vlogs keep getting more and more interesting. Thank you so muchfor sharing your life with me. Continued health. Please pet Otis and Ollie for me
Fantastic. So informative and interesting. Takes time but it will be worth it in the end. Just like you to know I have gained so much pleasure and knowledge watching all your videos over the years. They lighten up my life. Thank you so much. Keep well and safe. James.
I LOVE that you feel that personal touch to the entire process, and...we've gotten to see it ALL! I think you said you'll not be able to ship outside the EU for this batch. When will that be possible? Eagerly anticipating placing an order from Dallas, Texas! I also LOVE your enthusiasm and joy in this entire process. I'm sure your right arm, particularly after filling 187 jars, is screaming. Much love!
That was absolutely amazing to watch we were just glued to the TV. We’ll done you two and the honey just looks delish. Take a well earned break. Can’t wait to see Sherlock the Avery looks very posh Shaun. ❤
Amazing! So next year, with the new hives, you'll step production up to another level - or will you be giving them 2 years to settle in? Really hoping i get to buy a jar!
That's an amazing amount of honey! Busy bees indeed! What a sweet series on beekeeping this has been. Meanwhile, I bet Sherlock is in his new home thinking "How did I get this lucky!"
What an absolutely amazing gadget for extracting the heather honey. I wonder how long they have been available. Designed by a genius. It was so interesting and I do hope I’m in time to buy some honey when you release it. If not this year then next year. I love the labels and how cleverly you have planned them being 3 sided you could rest the jar on the fourth side Colin. What patience and they all look identical. I hope the kitchen isn’t sticky anymore. As I said before my dad was banned from the house. 🍯🐝🌻
I understand that a honeybee lives for 5 to 7 weeks only, so does it matter that a next generation has to remake a honeycomb? This was such an interesting vlog again, Colin, and thank you for filming it, Shaun. I never knew that so much work was involved in processing honey. I look forward to seeing next week's vlog with Sherlock in his mews. Thank you both.
Absolutely brilliant vlog . . . thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t realise how much work goes into getting the honey to the jar. . . congratulations on such a fine haul guys. Looking forward to buying some soon.
OUTSTANDING explanation and presentation! So much work but so rewarding at the same time. I was totally in awe of your auction! Simply amazing. Can't wait to see Sherlock! Kiss Shaun (Shane) for me. ❤
Agree with comments… dedicated honey making space… enjoy the honey making and bee keeping episodes.. cannot wait for what you will do with the wax… also.. what’s happening with the train shed?
Really enjoyed that vlog 😊 I can’t wait to buy some honey. I have a feeling that you will sell out very quickly. Would you consider signing a few jars for a future auction? Looking forward to seeing Sherlock next week. Take care ❤
WHAT A TRULY FANTASTIC VLOG ?? I have been watching you two since you first started vlogging on Silver Fox. The two of you do such a GREAT JOB with anything you begin. I watched several different narrowboat vlogs and yours were by far the VERY BEST. As usual, since landing in Scotland everything new you have tried has been so informative and wonderful to watch. I look forward to every Saturday to bee able to view your new vlog ! Thank you for sharing your life adventures with us ! Can we buy some honey in advance for next years harvest to be able to get it in America?
Thank you for this! I knew very little about this and I came away with a few things. One, you clearly love this and your dedication to doing it by hand is something I respect. Two, I can’t wait until you can send this to the states!!
Its amazing!! How much hard work you put into the processing the honey! Literally you and the busy 🐝🐝🐝 working in perfect harmony ❤ Thankyou so much for sharing ❣
Always informative, fun & mindful too. I’d love to travel to Scotland again one day, to purchase some of your unique honey. Yes Aus & NZ have very strict quarantine regulations. Looking forward to seeing Sherlock in his wonderful mews.
This video was so fascinating! Thank you for sharing the process and it was so obvious how much joy you got from each stage. Look forward to being able to order some next year when you can ship to America!
Thank you, I really enjoyed your vlog. So much work, but I could hear in your voice and demeanor how happy it makes you. Congratulation Colin! Also to Shaun for all the construction accomplishments.
Hello Shaun & Colin, thank you for sharing your honey adventures. I have a question about the bees and their honey. I’m wondering, if the honey is taken away before winter, are the bees at risk of going hungry and thirsty due to the lack of flowers etc. Or, will the bees quickly start all over again, filling up all of the frames? I’m assuming that it’s healthier for the bees to be surviving off of their own flower “food”. Or do 🐝 keepers put that sugar fondant in the hives as a replacement food for them? Thank you again. Much appreciated. 🙂🐿🌈❤️ [sydney australia]
Son-of-a-gun! This was a wonderful and very informative vlog. I have never seen bee hives or anything like this before now. You have a nice teaching voice and explain things so everyone can understand. Fantastic.

Looks like liquid gold, and is as precious. You put so much love into the making of the honey, that makes it even more precious.
Wow what a wonderful process of extracting the honey. Thank you Colin for showing us the process from start to finish. It is so amazing what the bees produce. I agree with you that you put your heart and sole from start to finish. Congratulations Colin on your first year of harvesting your honey. Have a great week. God Bless.

Living in the USA I need to wait until your next season. Congrats on a well-developed process presented very nicely!

Schlock’s home looks great Sean. You did a super job on it. That was a lot of hard work. Well done!
After you’ve had raw honey, there’s no way you can consume the processed stuff. Can’t wait until it’s available to be shipped to America. Congratulations!
Congratulations! Thanks for another entertaining and informative video. I hope you enjoy your well-deserved rest. Looking forward to meeting Sherlock, and hoping for a wee update on the lady birds soon. Cheers!
Wow. The hard work involved, who would have known. PFTP tape on the hose threads may help with the leaks. Admiration all round from this veiwer
Having just returned home from Turkey after a paragliding accident (I will be ok) it’s great to watch you guys. The fun, the jollies and laughter you give me is immense. Keep doing what your doing, good result on the honey, I will keep you updated on my 4 N.Ireland hives next year. Xx

Shaun didn’t hold the camera. It was a tripod most of the time 🤣
I’m in Eastern Kentucky up in the mountains, I can’t wait to get a jar of honey! Thank you both for sharing!
That was broadcast-television quality educational and interesting content! Cheers lads!
OUTSTANDING!!! What a great vlog. Cannot wait for next year when, hopefully, you can ship to the US. The honey looks amazing, and my mouth is watering just watching.
That vlog was so interesting and so much knowledge I did not know goes into making honey ,
Thank you so much for taking the time and patience to vlog and show everyone how much work goes into harvest the honey .❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
Good job Colin. That’s so much work but the results are amazing. Pure gold.
First class tutorial as usual Colin. Good cameraman as well. Hopefully will be buying a jar in a week or two. You two guys are a joy to know.
So very cool from beginning to end. The only suggestion I have is to get a soft wheeled cart to take the supers to your spot away from the hives and then have an table there so you don't have to bend over or get down on your knees unnecessarily. Ahem.
Thanks so much for taking us along in this journey! Loved every minute!
Hi Colin & Shaun, this was a really wonderful video! Great editing. It was really interesting to see the whole process, you did a great job explaining Colin.

Thanks so much!
Interesting to see the process, thanks! So proud of you Colin (you too Shaun) for this mighty endeavour and all else you two are doing xxx
Yum,Yum, Yum. I could imagine the beautiful aroma and flavour.
Great to see the process of extracting and bottling the honey.
Excited for next week, the 2 bee/honey vlogs have been so interesting as well. Also thought the prostate vlog was really honest and informative well done to both of you.
Thank you! x

I think David Attenborough would have been proud of that episode well done lads.
That honey looks amazing. I was given a jar of honey by a neighbour recently, I've just had to open it and sample some 🐝🍯 Your vlog has made me really appreciate how much work goes into getting honey from hive to jar.
Loved the video so much so succinct in your teaching so interesting and lovely to see you both so happy great video xx

Absolutely!
Excellent vlog on processing honey, the hour just flew by!
I am wondering how regulation there is in beekeeping and then processing the honey. You have mentioned and showed a lot, but always feels like there is more .
There is a lot of things to do, but it would make a really boring vlog 🤣
@@FoxesAfloat yeah, true 🤣
Lovely, Colin! You are so methodical which I appreciate. I am so proud for you and I can feel the pride in you. Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
Well done. I used to be self sufficient and produced a lot of stuff for sale. Butter, cheese, yogurt as well as goats milk and i know how hard you worked on the honey. Its knackering but worth it. Well done xxx
Thank you Shaun and Colin for yet another great video, and well done for all your hard work, and to all the Bees of course for producing such delicious honey,
Our pleasure!
The honey coming out of the hydro press looks absolutely delicious!
What a superb vlog, absolutely fascinating!
I couldnt do all that but, along with the lovely background music, i found it very relaxing watching it.
Thanks guys xx
Wow, great vlog. Very informative. Take care and stay safe. Can't wait to see Sherlock's muse with him in it. Viktoria
Very interesting & informative! But, wow, sooo labor intensive!! LOVE the beautiful jars & labels & can only imagine how delicious the honey is! Job well done guys! ❤🐾🐾

Same way and time we do 👍🏻
The Croft will be paid for in no time LOL. Fantastic yet again take care see you next week cheers
Your problem-solving commitment is just as inspriational as your creativity, Colin!
Yum! Looks like Carmel. Raw honey heals wounds and is great for a sore throat. The bee’s and you guys did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
Thanks so much
I am so pleased that you care about the dear little bees, so much. Such appreciation for the creatures we depend upon is important, & that have found such a fulfilling hobby - as another ASD, I am glad you’re rewarded with a successful project

Thank you so much James 👍🏻
Also you should be so proud of yourself. What a beautiful label. Congratulations kiddo❤❤
I LOVE that you feel that personal touch to the entire process, and...we've gotten to see it ALL!
I think you said you'll not be able to ship outside the EU for this batch. When will that be possible?
Eagerly anticipating placing an order from Dallas, Texas!
I also LOVE your enthusiasm and joy in this entire process.
I'm sure your right arm, particularly after filling 187 jars, is screaming.
Much love!
After a very stressful week. Head spinning 🤪. This is so peaceful and relaxing to watch..... thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
That was absolutely amazing to watch we were just glued to the TV. We’ll done you two and the honey just looks delish. Take a well earned break. Can’t wait to see Sherlock the Avery looks very posh Shaun. ❤
Amazing,187 jars of hard work and done with love,thank you for sharing the process,i wish i liked honey.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Very Special Heather Honey, produced with tons of love and care, from hive to home 🏡 You must be SO proud ❤. Absolutely well done! ❤️
Thank you so much!
From "Hive to Home" great name for their honey business lol😊
Really loving the journey of your channel really enjoyed this one thank you both
Amazing video, it is fascination watching you guys work and I bet the smell in the kitchen is wonderful.
Well done, lots of good info
Amazing! So next year, with the new hives, you'll step production up to another level - or will you be giving them 2 years to settle in? Really hoping i get to buy a jar!
We’ll see what happens 👍🏻🐝
How much did you enjoy doing that?!! A great vlog, yet again. Thank you 🧡🧡
That's an amazing amount of honey! Busy bees indeed! What a sweet series on beekeeping this has been. Meanwhile, I bet Sherlock is in his new home thinking "How did I get this lucky!"
What an absolutely amazing gadget for extracting the heather honey. I wonder how long they have been available. Designed by a genius. It was so interesting and I do hope I’m in time to buy some honey when you release it. If not this year then next year. I love the labels and how cleverly you have planned them being 3 sided you could rest the jar on the fourth side Colin. What patience and they all look identical. I hope the kitchen isn’t sticky anymore. As I said before my dad was banned from the house. 🍯🐝🌻
I understand that a honeybee lives for 5 to 7 weeks only, so does it matter that a next generation has to remake a honeycomb? This was such an interesting vlog again, Colin, and thank you for filming it, Shaun. I never knew that so much work was involved in processing honey.

Congratulations on your video and now l understand why honey is expensive especially the good stuff
Absolutely brilliant vlog . . . thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t realise how much work goes into getting the honey to the jar. . . congratulations on such a fine haul guys. Looking forward to buying some soon.
Thanks so much! 😊
Amazing vlog, full of information and you can see why honey is expensive. Well done just brilliant x
Thanks so much! 😊
Absolutely brilliant video. I’ve learned so much about bees and honey production. It’s definitely a labour of love 🧡🐝🧡
You guys did a fantastic job... you a taken a hobby and turn it into some close to your hearts... CONGRATULATIONS... love you both.. ❤❤
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 😊
OUTSTANDING explanation and presentation! So much work but so rewarding at the same time. I was totally in awe of your auction! Simply amazing. Can't wait to see Sherlock! Kiss Shaun (Shane) for me. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I feel so proud of you two and what you have achieved!🍯🍯🍯🍯 Well done boys! 🥳🥳 Loved the little tease at the end of vlog too! 😉💕💕💕
This has been absolutely fantastic! So informative and also visually stunning! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see Sherlock next week
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve loved watching each step - fabulous vlog xxxx
Agree with comments… dedicated honey making space… enjoy the honey making and bee keeping episodes.. cannot wait for what you will do with the wax… also.. what’s happening with the train shed?
Well, the people who are telling me to create a honey space will be the same ones complaining when I put it in the (former) train barn 🤣
Really enjoyed that vlog 😊 I can’t wait to buy some honey. I have a feeling that you will sell out very quickly. Would you consider signing a few jars for a future auction? Looking forward to seeing Sherlock next week. Take care ❤
Wow such an amazing labour intensive harvest of luv of your liquid gold.... watching the joy on your face Colin says it all 🤩
WHAT A TRULY FANTASTIC VLOG ?? I have been watching you two since you first started vlogging on Silver Fox. The two of you do such a GREAT JOB with anything you begin. I watched several different narrowboat vlogs and yours were by far the VERY BEST. As usual, since landing in Scotland everything new you have tried has been so informative and wonderful to watch. I look forward to every Saturday to bee able to view your new vlog ! Thank you for sharing your life adventures with us !
Can we buy some honey in advance for next years harvest to be able to get it in America?
Sorry for the “??”. It was supposed to be “!!”. Fat finger
Really enjoyed this. Your hard work has produced amazing looking honey. Can’t wait to try it.
Great vlog today, thanks for your enthusiastic approach. 😊😊
You are so welcome!
Riveting!!! Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing
I am way more into Colin's 🐝 keeping than I expected to be.
Thank you for this! I knew very little about this and I came away with a few things. One, you clearly love this and your dedication to doing it by hand is something I respect. Two, I can’t wait until you can send this to the states!!
Loved that this was the whole process in one lovely long video. The honey looks amazing , and I can't wait to meet Sherlock 🦉
Its amazing!! How much hard work you put into the processing the honey! Literally you and the busy 🐝🐝🐝 working in perfect harmony ❤
Thankyou so much for sharing ❣
How much sampling did you do during the days-long process from hive to jar? And, don't you have more hives to do, at least 5 more?
We do have more hives, but only these produced usable honey.
Thank you for educating us, we really appreciate honey now never realised that it was so time consuming fantastic
Always informative, fun & mindful too. I’d love to travel to Scotland again one day, to purchase some of your unique honey. Yes Aus & NZ have very strict quarantine regulations. Looking forward to seeing Sherlock in his wonderful mews.
This video was so fascinating! Thank you for sharing the process and it was so obvious how much joy you got from each stage. Look forward to being able to order some next year when you can ship to America!
Lovely sunset

Thank you so much!
Hello Shaun & Colin, thank you for sharing your honey adventures.
I have a question about the bees and their honey.
I’m wondering, if the honey is taken away before winter, are the bees at risk of going hungry and thirsty due to the lack of flowers etc.
Or, will the bees quickly start all over again, filling up all of the frames?
I’m assuming that it’s healthier for the bees to be surviving off of their own flower “food”.
Or do 🐝 keepers put that sugar fondant in the hives as a replacement food for them?
Thank you again.
Much appreciated.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
