Thank you Jacob. I was in awe when I saw just how fast the bees were able to fill it up. Good luck with yours. Only suggestion I have is to make sure you have a very strong hive to be successful with it.
The cassettes came with a light coat of bees wax in the bottom. The foundation is actually the bottom of the cassette with a comb pattern already on it. There is a gap between each cassette that the bees move thru the package.
I am going to try to find any follow ups to this good video but it seems to me very labour intensive and if there were a lot of uncapped squares they could be placed back in with the next batch. Again a bit more fluffing about.
it really isn't that labor intensive. No harvesting of frames, no un-capping frames, filtering, or cleaning up buckets, filters, spinner etc... Take out the cassettes, put a lid and a label on it and your done. Couldn't be easier. I order my refills as a complete batch. couldn't put incomplete cassettes in. Having a few open cells in a cassette doesn't really hurt anything as long as it's not a bunch of them. Just have to be more observant and patient the next time.
The lid fits on the package just like it does on a regular medium. The bees will seal it up if they need to. It's good to put it in the freezer for 24 hours just to kill any parasites that might be in the package. It's just a pre-caution.
@@richardsukey7703 Here's a random question about beekeeping, can a hive be moved at night and the bees adapt to their new location in the morning and find their way home? For instance, if someone who was travelling around the country, and they had a hive attached to their camper, and travelled at night, would the bees still be able to function?
@@yowgyrl No. the bees need a couple of days to re-orientate themselves to the new hive location. There is always the chance that if you leave the location too early you would loose quite a few bees.
Well I did get a bit cross with you coughing over the honey, I ha e not checked when the video was made I am watching it during covid so haha yeah guess I do have reason for my anger or annoyance, anyhoo Just a heads up I ha e not attempt any Ross rounds or Hogg half so far only bottle system. Umm you mentioned that the Ross rounds does not, 'presentate' haha according to uncle Google talk, it's not a real world I could not figure out the spelling for it so correct word is presentation haha my bad anyhoo, umm yes you said presentation on a Ross round is not the best however you still need your labels as you said earlier in the video so my question is which label you going to go with one for the finished product? Back label Side label Front label Either way if you want the best presentation it would ha e to be a label for the back wear the foundation wax is if I remember correctly you had to put in or does it already come with that in can't recall or you did not mention it, also a heads up beat to check what your side of the world says regarding labels and or packaging. The Ross rounds from one of the videos I saw on youtu.be the guy used a label that covers that plastic round pipe object. The presentation depends on the labels you going to go with could very much cover what you dissing about the Ross rounds system, so let's wait for your labels first? Did you do an installation first video on receiving the items and how to install onto super then to hive, I shall check after watching this video you made, thanks shall continue watching now... Re-edit: I did check says video was made 7 months ago.. Ummm yeah in covid period maybe beat to wear one of those plastic shields just to be on safest. Oh you did mention the label now, okay yes that does sound cool with the whole hinge idea presentation is still there so that's cool... Umm so wild flower so it's shelf or maybe correct word is crystal shelf is less I'm in South Africa I learnt that different flower can also prolong the crystallization process, the guy I went to last year to rent his honey extractor his honey I traded 340ml for 340ml of mine kept both and within less than 6 months his has already crystallized where as mine is still liquid form it has umm let me go check quickly before I say anything.... Okay it's not yes a complete year yet last year harvesting and spinning was 25 March 2021 its now the 19 March 2022 so just a few more days till 1 full year. I have for experimental purposes last year put 1kg honey away to check how many well now years it takes to crystallize also I've found that different areas ha e different tastes the guy I went to his has a more lemon there was another tasted to it I could not make out it was also sweet type taste mine is very sweet compared to what my family use to buy at the shops before I got the bees, his was a bit lighter not as light as yours is mine is quite darker in colour compared to the guy I went to extract honey from frames... So yeah that's also pretty interesting. So from what I see online Ross rounds super system costs way more that the Hogg half super system
Hi, how much do people pay for one cassette full of combed honey?
I got $17.00 each.
This is really cool, I wanna try this with my bees next year
Thank you Jacob. I was in awe when I saw just how fast the bees were able to fill it up. Good luck with yours. Only suggestion I have is to make sure you have a very strong hive to be successful with it.
How much do you sell each for ?
Are you selling the honeycomb?
Thanks for the video. Did you put in the foundation? And how do the bees get in between the compartments?
The cassettes came with a light coat of bees wax in the bottom. The foundation is actually the bottom of the cassette with a comb pattern already on it. There is a gap between each cassette that the bees move thru the package.
Hi Richard ,where are you buy this plastic kit? God bless you.
I got them from Betterbee. www.betterbee.com. Hogg Halfcomb system

Upon reflection and reading your reply I have changed my opinion on these. Thanks so much.
Did you use a queen excluder?? Also did you only have 1 super on the hive?
Yes I did use a excluder and it was the only super on the hive so that the entire population would work the cassettes.
Is it air tight after the lid is put on? Also, why do you have to put it in the freezer?
The lid fits on the package just like it does on a regular medium. The bees will seal it up if they need to. It's good to put it in the freezer for 24 hours just to kill any parasites that might be in the package. It's just a pre-caution.
on average how much did each cassette weigh?
The net weight was 12 oz.
👍👍👍🖐 sub
you're evil... eating it front of us
I knw, but it was only the first two bites.....YUMMY !!!
How can buy this kind of box?
I got them from Better Bee. www.betterbee.com
I'm about to put mine on next week !!
Awesome 👍👍 just make sure your hive is super strong
Good luck 🤞
That's a great idea, letting the bees fill in the containers.
Indeed. Just put the super on the hive, they do all the work, you take out the cassettes and put the lids on. totally awesome.

Too much plastic. It would be good if they were made from a recyclable or organic material. Nice video.
Well I did get a bit cross with you coughing over the honey, I ha e not checked when the video was made I am watching it during covid so haha yeah guess I do have reason for my anger or annoyance, anyhoo
Just a heads up I ha e not attempt any Ross rounds or Hogg half so far only bottle system.

Back label
Side label
Front label
Either way if you want the best presentation it would ha e to be a label for the back wear the foundation wax is if I remember correctly you had to put in or does it already come with that in can't recall or you did not mention it, also a heads up beat to check what your side of the world says regarding labels and or packaging.
The Ross rounds from one of the videos I saw on youtu.be the guy used a label that covers that plastic round pipe object.
The presentation depends on the labels you going to go with could very much cover what you dissing about the Ross rounds system, so let's wait for your labels first?

So from what I see online
Ross rounds super system costs way more that the Hogg half super system
