- Set up and How To on the crush and strain method of Honey Harvesting. How to get honey from honeycomb...This is my favorite way to harvest honey. It's simple and fast and easy without all the mess..
Great option for Beginner Beekeepers because you don't have to buy a bunch of equipment starting out. How do beekeepers get honey from Bees? Well there are a few different ways but this has a lot of perks.. Most beekeepers use spinners to get their honey but this can take a lot of time and make a big mess..I also go over how to get honey out of wax cappings. I hope you enjoy this video, the Backyard Bee Builder

Thanks heaps for your videos., youve done extraordinarily well.
Can I give you a tip? When you use the video editor there is a function within it called "normalise sound" This makes all sound levels the same across the video. It will help to automatically amplify your voice, and decrease the music levels.
Keep up your wonderful work. You're doing a great job.
thanks for the tip and kind words...
I love all your helpful hints and links for the DYI products.
thank you
Hey Triple B, I love your videos. I'm a fairly new bee keeper and just now harvesting some honey from a hive. You method is a good way to do it. Thank you for what you do!
They make paint strainers available at any Lowe's or Home Depot.
They come closed at one end, and fit perfectly in a 5 gallon bucket.
Find a wooden spatula. It won't alter the taste or damage the foundations.
Are the paint strainers safe for food ?
Thanks for the great tips!!
This video was just what I was looking for. I'm at the point where honey is strained but have a big ball o' wax n' honey left. Was trying to figure out how-to when I thought to check YT. Your video quickly solved the issue and I'm off to set up a double boiler with whatever pots will work. Thanks a bunch!
i know this is 2 yrs later, but when i get to that stage i wash it in a food grade bucket in cold water a bit more in volume than the ball of mush, gets your hands in there squeezing and tumbling then strain again with cheese cloth.
The watery sweet washing can be fed to hive, but i pasturize it to kill any yeasts, about 70deg, and yeast it with a mead yeast. Make a few bottles honey mead.
Wow this is incredible to watch thank you!
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing! I don't have my bees yet and currently purchase beeswax from a local farm . But when I do I can totally see doing this setup! ~jc
Bravo bravo👍, 100% zapečaćenoj svaka čast za rad i trud. 😀❤️
Very nice video and explained very well 😊👍🏻🐝
I do the same but direct in a paint strainer bag in the bee yard, and replace the frames back in the hive for them to clean it out
All that beautiful honey... fun to watch.
In Order to avoid slipping of the frames on the wooden foundation, Just Put a Nail From the buttom Side. And than place The honey frame in IT. You can than easily Flip the frame also.
My very first harvest I used this method because I didn't have an extractor, but I must admit I cringed a bit watching you scrape all that wonderful comb into the bucket.
Your honey harvesting video has given me the info I needed for my first honey harvest. I want to make your double tub set up but I’m having trouble finding tubs that nest like yours. Where did you get them? Thanks for all your great info!!!
Thanks for sharing this. Happy New Year! :-)
Thank you! Happy New year to you too🎊👍🏻🎉🎈😊🐝
I’ve been on the fence about getting a spinner but I see it just being a huge mess to clean up lol i don’t have bees yet but I plan on getting a few different types. I’m not into saving wax so I like the idea of the flow hive. I also want to get a regular hive too so I can get cut comb. It’s so satisfying watching honey being extracted lol
going to try your method have watched almost all you videos really enjoy happy new year looking forward to 2020
Thank you ! Keep us updated on how it turned out! Happy new year to you as well!!!
This didn't age very well.
Happy New Year!
Thank you!
Recently used a 5 gallon paint strainer from Amazon for mine.
Nice...
Seems to be really informative video, Would be great if I could hear what you were saying.
Great vid. Quick question, do you separate each super when extracting. Or do you tend to put all your honey into one tank? Or even maybe separate each hives honey? Thank you.
You make it look so simple! I love your method! Just a concern though does honey loose some of it’s qualities when subjected to heating?
wash your ball of wax crush at the end in clean water in a polypail, put your arm in and squeeze all the bits and break them up, then strain again and save the water. Pasturize the honey water and make honey mead with it, you just need to get some mead starter yeast at a home brew shop and put the pail aside for a month or so, a new related hobby!. then the strained wax can be put on a black sheet of sloping metal ( lid cover off an old VCR player) on a couple bricks in an old super out in the sun under double glaze glass and it will melt and run clean into any container. Been doing this for years.
Check out paint socks for your straining sacks.
What do you do with the frames afterwards?
Question: I tried your method of getting the last bits of the honey off of the leftover comb, but ended up with a grainy, sticky hard goo. It seems like the wax and honey didn't separate and just hardened together. Any Ideas what I did wrong? I used the double boiler and made sure the mixture didn't boil. (It was only about 1.5" deep.)
It s been raining a lot here and the some has got into the top off the frames, would you recommend drying them thoroughly before extraction?
Thsts s a nice honey bucket. You gonna share a link to get a honey bucket like yours?
I am wondering how long the process is to melt the wax from the honey in the double broiler? I am assuming it depends on how much wax you have. Thanks
Hi 3B, curious how you clean/dry the frames after your scrape them down? I always find there is still some golden honey on the frame and I'd like to store them for next usage. Thanks
leave it out for the bees, and they'll clean it up for you!
Any concerns with using non food grade bins? I know they usually have a chemical odor new from the store.
Can you use the wax from uncapping for anything like candles?
A new paint strainer bag from hardware store for 5 gallon bucket is great. I don't think those totes are food grade. Perhaps I'll find some that are.
Your the first to say something about pasturizing the honey. My question is why? Is it mandated on your state? I'm new to bee keeping learning from all utubers and online class of sorts.
Where did you purchase the squeeze bottles?
Bite the bullet and buy an extractor. Honey-comb is a high-value item for the bees and should be treated like gold.
My honey yields went up substantially when I went from crushing to extracting... (Just my opinion)
Do you link you can filter the honey to much? Thank you
Great video. There is a beekeeper i live by that has over 200 hives and does the same thing. :-)
At the end you say you keep it seperate from the raw honey, what do you do with the warmed honey versus raw honey ??
I just like to use it first...or use it for cooking... my raw honey I like to keep for use for allergies and other uncooked treats...😊🐝
@@backyardbeebuilder5666 ok, thanks
Will the honey that you have heated up spoil? I still do not fully understand Wyatt must be separated.
@@travismorgan9726 NO, Honey only spoils if it gets too much moisture in it.. or it is contaminated by something...most honey is pasteurized or heated before use... Heating up the honey just kills the good stuff in the honey. I like to keep it raw so i can use it for allergies.. you really don't need to separate it unless you want to.. ;-)
do you make the honey bucket? or you can buy it?
Best way is a double boiler. A#10,gallon, can in a pot about2" larger with a riser under the can to allow bubbles to get out from under the can. Boil until all the wax is melted. Lift out the can and let it cool.
If you put the wax back where the bees can get to it................will they take it and make a new comb with it????
There's a beekeeper BBC®️
Bees In The Pumping Set™️
great info albeit I suggest using a wooden spatula rather than a metal one which can scrape off micro plastic pieces from the foundation into your honey!
Are the frames plastic or drawn comb.
After straining honey must be reheated or it will crystallize.
🐝
Your music is too loud as in parts of it we cant hear what your saying. good video thank you
How do you get the comb off when using foundation-less frames (with less gutting of the frames?) ?
Thanks.

I use a comb roller decapper and spinner and have hardly any wax come off my hives bees get them back and filled quicker. Once the spinner drains for a day there's hardly any honey in it and then I rinse it with real hot water and let it dry out. Crushing comb is a slow process in my opinion.
the volume won't turn up?

It would be great if the music wasn't so much louder than the voice.
You say we can see how to make the strainer in another video, but which one?🤷🏻♀️
Honey bucket. Are you hitting on me?
Instead of heating all that honey to at least 145 degrees F, why not invest in a honey press and squeeze it out of the wax? None of my customers would want to buy honey that has been heated. I'm glad you keep it separate from your raw honey!
When the honey slaps against the sides of an extractor, it whips oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen(water, basically)into the honey.
That alters the flavor.
I prefer this way because it's not so violent of a process.
If you DONT heat it, the wax just floats to the top.
Scoop it off, and strain it again.
How long will it take for the wax to float to the top if you DON'T heat it? Thanks for the tip!
@@michellearmenta1116 it depends on the ambient temperature of the room. The warmer, the better.
But typically, 24-48 hours should do it. I like to fill a jar with as much as will fill it, then remove the wax "scab" in the morning.
Straining and filtering are two different things. What you remove can be strained again so nothing gets wasted. Or you can let the bees clean it up. That's not wasteful, either.
True waste of precious honey comb the most valuable resource as a beekeeper
I can't hear you!
music is too loud for people using ear plugs!
As far as i know exceeding 70 degrees C, destroys all the 'good' in honey...

Sorry, I can't hear you.
check those audio levels. way too low for dialogue. (just trying to be helpful)
Would be much better without the music.
How sad. Wasting all the hard work of your bees. That is a lot of energy lost. It takes six to seven pounds of honey to make one pound of wax.
That picture of you with your tongue sticking out is terribly unflattering - if you sell or give away your honey, I would never eat because you gave the impression you licked it - you might want to reconsider this image of you
Volume is awful!
The bees have to rebuild all of that comb back, why are you destroying it??
