Hi there from England, just started out on my bee keeping adventure and absolutely love the process of how the bees make honey and what goes on in the hive. Also great to see how the honey is harvested too!. Subscribed 👍🏻
@troysimpsonhoneyridgefarm6 oh yes started out about 2months ago with one hive(British national) now got 6 hives with 3 inhabited and a few spare and warre hive I got to set up too. Very addictive plus you help the area and the bees!
Great video Troy. I always love watching extracting videos. Great looking honey house. We have two girls that are 6 & 9. I feel like I always smell like bees or have propolis on me somwhere. I’m up to ten hives this year. We spun out 67 pounds on a three frame manual extractor yesterday. Not bad for a new beekeeper. This is my 3rd summer. Been through two winters. I really enjoy your videos and enjoy how you always explain everything. Have a great week. JIM FROM Union, KY
Hey Jim, they’ll be grown up before you know it. Thanks for watching. Good job on your harvest. There’s a lot of ups and downs in beekeeping but it’s always enjoyable, especially in the honey house.
Where did you get your bucket holder from please? I have purchased 2 different holders that are not the quality that I am looking for. Do you like it and where did you get it if you do not mind. Thanks, and thanks for the tour of your honey house, I am trying to justify my honey house addition and it is tough, congrats on having your own honey house, that is a big step.
Thanks for watching! I think one was from Mann Lake and the other two from Dadant. It took a lot of years to get the honey house. Sure makes things a lot easier.
Is your nylon fabric like having a Five gallon paint strainer you use in a paint spray gun or is the mesh finer than the paint filter. You have a great looking honey house. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching Dennis. Ideally I like to get it up to 85 degrees or so, over night to get the honey warm and then cool it down to work in the daytime. I’m not sure what the mesh is, I just go by feel. I bought some a few months ago that was too tight and the honey wouldn’t go through it.
Thanks for showing your honey house. Maybe your refractometer needs recalibration. I don't know how they get out of whack sitting in the case but they do.

Thanks for watching!! So cool that you watched from England! Beekeeping seems to become an addiction.

Nice set up and great explanation
Thanks! I appreciate that
Nice shop! You have your uncapping box next to the extractor, less floor drippings. Funny how so few people have figured that out. Grand job.
Thank you! Works good for me
New sub. I learned a lot. That's work! Nice and clean extractor house.
Thank you! I spend a lot of time in there
Just Subbed. Great video. Looking forward to more!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. Hopefully this honey flow keeps up.
Just because it is capped doesn't mean it is low in moisture. I have had capped honey read over 20%

Thanks for watching Jim. Might be a little finer than that. I enjoy my time spent in the honey house.
subbed. nice honey hut!!!!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Hey Troy great videos. What are the Overall dimensions of your work space?
Thanks Lester! The room itself is 12x30
Great vid thanks. what temp do you have the honey house when extracting, and what mesh is the nylon cloth for straining.

What’s up Phillip! What makes you think it’s out of calibration?
Great video Troy where are you located ?
Thanks for watching!!! We’re near Mt Washington Ky
Where do you get the nylon cloth? Also you didn't say but I assume you wash them and reuse them.
I’ve had these for a long time and haven’t found a recent source.
Yes the have to be washed after every 4 or 5 buckets due to getting clogged.
