    Me again, the crazy one from across the pond. I do this but surprise surprise I do it differently.
    I place a wire queen excluder underneath the super that I am going to use for jars.
    This way I get to place a frame between each row of jars enabling me to get extra honey from the space.
    And you don't destroy a crown board.
    BTW the good ideas you have I steal.

      So if I get it right the bees have full access to the supper, right ? They can choose to go in the jars, on the frame, or build anywhere else ?
      If that's so, how do you visit the hive if needed ?

    Hello, I am a person who raises honeybees in Korea. Thankfully, I enjoyed the video. I have a few questions, so I'm asking. You made the honey jar thick with wax, so how thick should I apply No.1? No.2 Is it possible regardless of whether you push or not? No. 3 If you put honey in a honeycomb bottle, doesn't the honeycomb get soft? I appreciated the video.

    • @BohemiaBees
      @BohemiaBees  2 года назад +12

      The wax on the bottom isn’t necessary. We thought we needed to put wax for the bees to attach comb to but they attached it without using it. So we won’t use it again this season. I’m sure that the comb once flooded with honey will become slightly softer so that’s up to you if you fill after or just leave unfilled. We are doing both this year.

      No. The combs built and filled by the bees isn’t enough to fill the jar by vol. it likely only amounts to about 1/2 the jar with wax and honey. I fill them because it’s similar to how comb in honey is sold but instead of me putting a chunk of comb in the jar, the bees made it.

Maybe microwave/heat jar until all contents melt then wait for wax to float to the top, When wax solidifies, peel off and save/return to bee keeper!?

    I think this is already the best way to produce hive honey. But I feel the beeswax in the lower part of the bottle is too thick. Is there a way to improve it slightly? Or do bees have to be this thick to build their nests?

    • @BohemiaBees
      @BohemiaBees  2 года назад +6

      Great observation. This was our first time trying this method and we thought we needed to melt some wax in the bottom of the jar for the bees to use and attach to. But I’m hindsight we didn’t and will not put any in the bottom this spring when we do this again.

    Hi Jason, could you please let me know any trick how to "force" the bees to make honeycombs in the jars?
    Bees are strong, I have the most of the frames full of honey, but they ignore the jars completelly :(

    • @BohemiaBees
      @BohemiaBees  Год назад +1

      Hello. It’s 1part strong hive, 1part heavy flow, 1part patience.
      Seriously though you can put a small amount of wax on bottom of jar but that doesn’t seem to make a difference. If they don’t want to move up they won’t.

      ​@matesakoid, thanks for your post! I was just going to ask the same question. I have two of these set ups. One has lots of bees in the jars but no appearance of comb building. The other, well that was a different story. Let's just say that a double deep with 3 frames of bees isn't going to cut it. I'm having the same problem with Ross Rounds. Here in Central New York the weather has been unusually dry for this time of year. Maybe that's a contributing factor too.

    • @BohemiaBees
      @BohemiaBees  2 года назад +1

      It’s completely an individual preference. We sell raw extracted honey without comb and some limited cut comb offerings. However, we thought we would try this method and in order to give our buyers more honey product we fill the jar with extracted honey as the comb honey that is built in the jar is only about 30-40% of that jar by volume. Chunk comb in honey is a commonly sold version of honey products. But again it’s an individual preference.

    How your honey is in pure orange color? Usually honey's are in dark brown right..?

    • @BohemiaBees
      @BohemiaBees  2 года назад +1

      Real honey 🍯 color is based on its nectar source. It can be 100s of different colors. Blended wildflower honey looks similar but will vary from region to region. Fake honey all looks exactly the same because it’s derived likely from sugar water or fructose syrup.

      Great question: it’s just raw melted beeswax from our apiary. We though we needed to put some wax in the bottom to help the bees draw comb out in the jar. But after we saw the results of what they did we realized it wasn’t necessary. We likely won’t put any wax next round.
