I recently took a tour of a museum which had artifacts from an ancient Egyptian archaeological excavation. They had honeycombs from one of the minor pyramids which they estimated to be 4500/5000 years old. Still with the honey sealed inside, as good as the day the bee capped it. Amazing.
Just an FYI!! I have been using this system off and on for about ten years. Yes this is an easy way for a beekeeper to harvest honey comb to sell or for personal use, but there is a step you want to do BEFORE packaging for selling! Put the box in the freezer over night to kill any wax moths eggs that could be there and not seen by the naked eye... The last thing you want to do is sell one to someone and they don't eat it right away, why I don't know, and find wax moth larvae eating there good honey!!! Also, I find it easier to stand the box on the wide end, remove the springs and then just slide all 40 cassettes out at once. After removing from freezer, make sure you let them come back to room temperature before putting on the lids. Otherwise you get condensation inside the honey containers. Won't hurt it , probably, but why take a chance... Had two hives this year with them on. Harvested both boxes, but not all filled. Went through all 80 boxes, pulled out the full ones and set them back on the hive. What a site to see here in PA where we get spring honey and very dark fall honey mixed in the same box! People were amazed at the way the bees filled up those that weren't capped and continued to fill them out and cap them!!! Another trick is to put a box of brood on top of the Half Hogs and the bees fill them out faster to take care of the brood. As for reusing tha cassettes.... not recommended. There is no way to sterilize them for reuse. You can have worlds of trouble is you would do that and someone got sick!!! Is it worth the $100.00 cost to purchase a new set of cassettes where you might get sued for trying to save a little money? Not for me!!! I would use once and discard.... Regards, A PA beekeeper
Those would be awesome to sell in the cassette and then give people a discount if they bring the cassette back cleaned so you can use it again. Kinda like glass milk bottles.
@@astroboy5456 it sounded like he needed to buy more cassettes to reset the box. I think he was planning on just selling the cassette in a fancy wrap and not planning on getting them back 🤷🏻♀️
I do this on my farm with canning jars and pots for bedding plants also. If they bring a canning jar with them (with lid and ring), or the equivalent size (or larger) pot, they get a discount -- it's amazing how many jars and pots go to landfills annually in our "throw away" society!
@@Sc2greenst - that's easy. All you need is to make a "foundation tool" from a square of hard plastic foundation the size of the inside of the cassette mounted on a block of wood, pour some wax into the cassette, then use the "foundation tool" to press the wax into foundation.
My great-grandfather had a deal worked out with this Russian beekeeper. He let him put hives up in three areas of the ranch, in exchange for the honey harvested from one hive each year. We never lacked for both strained and jarred honey, as well as comb. I've recently picked up some land not far from where the family ranch was. I'm looking at planting as much mesquite and purple sage as I can stand, and getting in contact with a local beekeeper, see if I can work out a similar deal.
Mesquite flavored honey? I grew up in Texas and mesquite is great for BBQ, but it does not sound like it would be that good for honey. From what I've heard, black locust trees or honey locust trees are amazing both for the tastes and quality of the honey as well as amazing quantities. Also a plant called borage really boosts honey production and most parts of the plant have medicinal uses.... also bugs and slugs avoid it.
Growing up we never had honey in a jar, I've always been skeptical of "pure honey" in jars. we always bought them in slices of cut combs. wet or dry cappings. We added honey now and then into our teas and almost every cup has a wax ring on it. I used to chew on it all day, its supposedly good for you, but its like granulated chunks that recombine in your mouth. lol
There you go agin with them there butter milk biscuits and honey! I almost had to change the channel while you were eating but I endured. Love that honey! good video! God Bless!
I remember the little kid we should have this huge barrel in the garage and then it was all filled with honey and my brother tipped over and it fell into the barrel of course we had to get him out of the barrel left him outside but I'm sitting in the sun for a while I'm sure the bees eat him alive
@@muazzamshahid The ones kept by beekeepers are usually pretty docile and will only sting if they think they're actually under attack (compare this to wasps and hornets, which will generally try to sting you if they think you looked at them funny from 20 feet away). He also smoked them a bit before he removed the frame, which makes them "lazier" and even less likely to be aggressive. As long as you're careful with them, they can be gentle enough you can even just stick your hand in and scoop up a bunch of them, and they'll just crawl around on your hand.
I love comb honey. I never did much of it though because it slowed down the honey production too much since the bees had to draw out the comb every time. With extraction they just have to refill the comb. When I raised bees the only time they had to draw out the comb is when I started a new hive or expanded one. I only did it for family and friends though, rather than as a business. My new hives came from collecting wild hives and swarms.i started with one hive with a brood box and 2 large supers and ended up with 7 hives with 3 large supers and 2 small supers above the brood boxes. That provided us with all the honey we could use. I finally sold all my hives for a very fair price plus 700 pounds of honey already put up in jars and gallon cans.
700 pounds of honey?!?! Bananaland. You should of turned it into a business. Could of made a lot of money selling honey locally. Should of paid somebody you trusted to do it for you

Beautiful. My Grandfather had 300+ been stands and sold some of the finest honey ever to be eaten. Sad that the masses of people don't appreciate this line of work. Honey that is properly harvested is the absolute best food in the world, and it didn't come from a wall street corporation.

I just bought a comb in a case that was 1/4th that size for $12.99 and it's absolutely worth it because it's by far the best, pure, and delicious honey I have ever had. I originally started buying the actual comb capped honey as a mere novelty, but once you try it there is no going back to the blended with fillers types that come from mass production companies that use silly containers shaped like bears and what not.
@@T0tenkampf Wasn't it Business Insider or a similar channel that was talking about the fake honey market? Like basically 80% of the product or whatever was just sugary filler.

Dieting note: get your wife fructose honey, one void of glucose. By doing so she will burn fat caused weight . Drinking more water also raises metabolism and burns weight, too.
Honey , pure and liquid is 2 kinds of sugars, but once Kiawe Honey 'crystalizes', the 2 types of sugars are easy to part from each other. Glucose turns into a crystal, Fruitose remains a liquid trapped inside the Glucose crystal. Crush the crystal and let the liquid settle to the bottom, scoop away the crushed crystals and you now have the Fruitose and if your wife want to lose weight this is the way to do it: To consume the Fruitose without the Glucose 'kicks' your body into overdrive. It will make your body draw more Glucose from your body's tissues that have been stored away for later use, but since continuing to eat fruitose without the glucose, the body is forced to consume its own fat reserves, she will lose weight. Increasing 'water intake' will also 'burn up ' more weight of those that are stuck behind a desk all day. An addition intake above your normal water needs of just 1 1/2 liters is equal to non-stop walking for 8 hours.
Watching your video, I went made a piece of toast, got out some crunch peanut butter and some local ‘really raw’ honey and ate with you! SO GOOD!!!!!!!! Magical.
🌸 7:25 oh wow look at how dark and rich the bottom one is. I can see different colours showing different varieties of flowers they gathered pollen from to make the honey. Looks so delicious 😋 I don’t have sugar anymore or anything sweet, however it’s a treat in itself getting to see the fruits of your bees hard labour. I love your trays they look so posh
Tried that here in the UK. Found that I need to have a good honey flow for the bees to fill the cassettes . Glad to see, you had better luck. Now off to raid the larder to find the jar of honey hiding in it. Watching you made my mouth water.
I have a company who puts Bees on my property and I love the bees hundreds come in my yard for water have never got bit only once when I accidently put my hand on one total joy to watch this I've been surrounded by Bees for 5 yrs now cant imagine life with out Bees🐝〰️🌼 At the end of the season I get 12 qts of honey which I have now I want a biscuit 🍯tho
I have seen honey like that...60 years ago! Dad used to bring home honey combs about the same size as those, only difference was they were in wooden boxes instead of plastic.
That was very very impressive you can actually sell these for a lot higher than you can all the others the reason being is sanitary you don’t have to worry about cross-contamination with an employee getting sick by touching the honey and transferring from bucket to bucket to drum to bucket machine this is from the hive directly to the customer . When I get rolling I will think about this system when I’m ready to sell honey but that’s down the road several years down the road lol God bless you and thank you for showing us this system I think it’s a winner ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nothing better than chewing on a piece of honey comb . You get all the extra benefits of raw honey . A great pick me up when you are sick with a cold or allergies.
We called it comb sections. My father always said you needed a good strong hive to work these sections and that the bee's didn't like working them and of course a good honey flow, so he never used them. These are different from the sections that were available 40 plus years ago. But you have done well or rather that hive has, must be a good colony you have and a good honey flow for the bee's to have filled them so well and make all the comb needed. You will certainly get a premium price for each.
I was doing just fine.. enjoying the video and marveling at the ease ... right up til the last... you HAD to show that honey and biscuits didn't you?? Had me salivating like Pavlov's dog!!!
I run these cassette supers. Easy to clean, pop the lid and labels on and they display nicely. People really like buying these and will pay a premium for them verses the standard comb squares.
akumma with honeycomb refrigeration maintains the shape and keeps more honey in the honeycomb. If not refrigerated the honey has a tendency to drain from cut comb
I'm 13 and want to get into the beekeeping industry. Where I'm located there isn't much fresh honey, we just have the one that have been manufactured so I think fresh honey would be a breath of fresh air
Room for bees? Space for forage for them with consistent food for the bees? Would neighbors object to a lit of bees? They do not stay on a city lot. Biggest issue is constant forage supply for bees.
You can put the uncapped ones back so the bees can finish them off. Next time you open it, it will probably be done. Also, you need to leave some for the bees too.
it's just as 'dumb' as the people who were happy to find 'beeswax' droppings on their cars and were rubbing them into their car's finish, from being near a wild hive[ it was actually bee poo on their cars, I couldn't tell them.]
We had bees when I was younger and it was a LOT of work robbing 27 hives, extracting, placing in jars, etc. This is a piece of cake! I would sure like to know what the replacement costs are and how much you plan to sell them for when you work up a price. Thanks.
www.betterbee.com/hogg-halfcomb-system/hhsp-hogg-halfcomb-superpack.asp Replacement $91.25. Cannot speak for his sale price but I'm also curious, probably easy profit since its local can sell higher. I dont like honey and I'd be tempted. 🤭
Pretty stuff. I used to do some cut comb back when I was into selling honey but I never got much calls for it and usually only got rid of it when I ran out of liquid. People around here were clueless about it really. Much of the old ways is completely lost around the city dwellers.
The boxes are embossed at the factory with wax. The bees build it out to the full cell. Afterwards they fill and cap them. I had put 2 sets on separate hives one year. After checking both, I pulled them off and went through both set up, removed all of them, and rebuilt the ones that weren't complete. Put that back on the hive, and when pulled in the fall was really surprised that I had both spring light honey and dark fall honey mixed in the same boxes!!! Very different to see the mixed flavors and colors interspersed in the boxes... Very unique flavor!!!!
Wow, super interesting seeing a different type of rack/section for the bees to construct their hives in. It’s easy to forget that the shape we know honeycombs as is only because the the shape of frame we give them. In this context.
@@Francois_Dupont yes. That is at the grocery store so the beekeeper wouldn't get that. I know a local keeper that does the rounds and he sells them to me for $10 each.
I remember seeing the hog commercial about those years ago here on RUclips and I was amazed by it. It's so easy to do all the work you put on a cap and sell it by the ounce if it's not as full as the other ones it's just not as expensive can't get much better than that

@@BlackdogDeaf thank you very much, it is quite expensive! considering its less work and it yied a bigger format than scraping the honey from the tray and centrifuging it.
Whenever I see fresh honeycomb I am hungry to try it, it looks so much more satisfying. Seeing regular honey in a jar or container without the honeycomb isn't as satisfying and doesn't make me hungry. Anyone else think the same thing?
It’s “would HAVE“, not “would of.” No one that knows how to speak using correct grammar says “would of” what they’re ACTUALLY saying is “would’ve” the “ ‘ve” sounds kinda like “of” at the end but it’s NOT! It is short for “have!”
Cheers bro,used to eat a lot of honey a while back but have no idea what i was buying you know,now that I know what to look for and am going to start the honey thing again.thanks to you.cheers.
My Grandad did something similar to this when I was a kid. It was the best honey. It was more work but they were popular with his customers and they fetched a good price.
These do work very well, I have been using them for a couple of years and I sell mine wholesale for $8 apiece and retail for $10 apiece. Thanks for sharing.

@@abdulsalam-xb3sq you don't use auger syrup to feed them during difficult time?
Your honey beekeeping technique is so different and so wonderful
Wow, I haven't eaten honeycomb in years. I remember it when I was a kid. Sweet and chewy!
The Sue Bee company sold a jar with a fat comb stuck inside at a higher price when I was a kid. I liked chewing on it as a treat.
🌸 7:25 oh wow look at how dark and rich the bottom one is. I can see different colours showing different varieties of flowers they gathered pollen from to make the honey. Looks so delicious 😋 I don’t have sugar anymore or anything sweet, however it’s a treat in itself getting to see the fruits of your bees hard labour. I love your trays they look so posh
That's not fair! Having to watch a biscuit being doused with pure honey !👍👌😊
Tried that here in the UK. Found that I need to have a good honey flow for the bees to fill the cassettes . Glad to see, you had better luck. Now off to raid the larder to find the jar of honey hiding in it. Watching you made my mouth water.
I have a company who puts Bees on my property and I love the bees hundreds come in my yard for water have never got bit only once when I accidently put my hand on one total joy to watch this I've been surrounded by Bees for 5 yrs now cant imagine life with out Bees🐝〰️🌼
At the end of the season I get 12 qts of honey which I have now I want a biscuit 🍯tho
I come for the sawmill... I stay for the bees 🐝 and honey 🍯
Glad we can keep you around, Scott!
I came for the bees... also saw the sawmill.
Lol i forgot he made those lumber with his sawmill.
I am a honey beekeeper from INDONESIA...I really like honey, success is always for you 🤩🤩🤩
I have seen honey like that...60 years ago! Dad used to bring home honey combs about the same size as those, only difference was they were in wooden boxes instead of plastic.
Hmm... that gives me an idea... 🤔
Same here in Scotland!
That was very very impressive you can actually sell these for a lot higher than you can all the others the reason being is sanitary you don’t have to worry about cross-contamination with an employee getting sick by touching the honey and transferring from bucket to bucket to drum to bucket machine this is from the hive directly to the customer . When I get rolling I will think about this system when I’m ready to sell honey but that’s down the road several years down the road lol God bless you and thank you for showing us this system I think it’s a winner ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think I will try them on my hives. Looks so good and easy to package. Thanks for the info.
I think you'll be happy with it.
Nothing better than chewing on a piece of honey comb . You get all the extra benefits of raw honey . A great pick me up when you are sick with a cold or allergies.
Man that looks good!!! Love me some biscuits and honey!!
I've never seen anything like this before! I'm going to have to look and see if anyone sells them like this. Thank you for the knowledge
Nice! I was really happy with the response I got from customers on my comb honey last year, and looking to expand that line a bit this year.
Your bees are so calm. I love it
We called it comb sections. My father always said you needed a good strong hive to work these sections and that the bee's didn't like working them and of course a good honey flow, so he never used them. These are different from the sections that were available 40 plus years ago.
But you have done well or rather that hive has, must be a good colony you have and a good honey flow for the bee's to have filled them so well and make all the comb needed. You will certainly get a premium price for each.
This takes me back. I used to buy honey in this form when I was a kid.
Satisfaction on 12:02
I was doing just fine.. enjoying the video and marveling at the ease ... right up til the last... you HAD to show that honey and biscuits didn't you?? Had me salivating like Pavlov's dog!!!
Sorry, Thom!
You could use the questionable one as a taste test when go to sell the others
OMG...beautiful containers of honey...amazing how we need the honey bees...great video and thumbs up.
I run these cassette supers. Easy to clean, pop the lid and labels on and they display nicely. People really like buying these and will pay a premium for them verses the standard comb squares.
Thankyou I adore bees 🐝 my favourite is watching them come home in different clouds of pollen yellow and orange
I'm actually not a big fan of honey, too sweet for my taste. But I gotta say.. My jaw literally dropped when the knife went into the comb...
Yea, its just tok sweet but u love the look and feel if honeycomb
I'm drooling over here, it looks amazing brother!
Put the uncapped ones back in the hive 👍
I only eat honeycomb. Try slicing it from the side rather than digging at it, also keep it in the fridge
Troy P you only eat honeycomb? Are you Winnie the Pooh?
Sherri no I’m lucky that’s all
akumma with honeycomb refrigeration maintains the shape and keeps more honey in the honeycomb. If not refrigerated the honey has a tendency to drain from cut comb
I didn't know someone could survive eating only honeycomb. How long since you've eaten anything else?
Joey Vindictive it’s been so long
The ending looks so darn good.
That looks really interesting. Would love to get one of those to actually see and taste a honeycomb myself.
Honeycomb is the best. Try with icecream. Blessings, Dot

we have them.
The Honey Bee....One of Gods greatest creations .
What would the world be without them...Really ?
They're so beautifully formed. I want some! 😄
I'm 13 and want to get into the beekeeping industry. Where I'm located there isn't much fresh honey, we just have the one that have been manufactured so I think fresh honey would be a breath of fresh air
Room for bees? Space for forage for them with consistent food for the bees?
Would neighbors object to a lit of bees? They do not stay on a city lot.
Biggest issue is constant forage supply for bees.
You can put the uncapped ones back so the bees can finish them off. Next time you open it, it will probably be done. Also, you need to leave some for the bees too.

Looks like a really convenient system. It does produce a lot of plastic waste tho if customers don't return the boxes for reuse.
I doubt if the USDA or FDA would allow reuse of the containers for resale.
I never get tired watching this vid. I will try this. Thanks for sharing!
watched this with my bird and he loved the song at the end just sayin. cool little boxes.
Great video and well done. The comb was beautiful. I enjoyed the end when you were spreading it. Yum Yum.

I love honey 🍯🍯
And this is best way to harvest honey
Easy to harvest I like that
There is a reason you call your loved one Honey.
Cause they’re sweet like honey :)
Mysteryboi_ Lol
I call her honey because kings would gorge themselves with honey and feel mighty being a male.
it because you can sell them and keep one for your self
I know I sound stupid when I say this but username checks out
I,M 63 years old I never seen honey made like that before great video thank you
Thanks for watching, Terry.
Vomit never tasted so good...
Honey is Not honeybee vomit! Do your reading from Honeybee lessons rather than falsehoods of crazed ill informed ones.
I understood the humor and actual meaning of bee “vomit”. I’m good.
it's just as 'dumb' as the people who were happy to find 'beeswax' droppings on their cars and were rubbing them into their car's finish, from being near a wild hive[ it was actually bee poo on their cars, I couldn't tell them.]
Vegan, right?
@@markbaker9459 its not that deep ☺
That honey looks fantastic. And so convenient compared to most alternative approaches.
Great clip. thank you.
Peace.
Winnie the pooh would be jealous.
i love this video. honey looks like gold.
We had bees when I was younger and it was a LOT of work robbing 27 hives, extracting, placing in jars, etc. This is a piece of cake! I would sure like to know what the replacement costs are and how much you plan to sell them for when you work up a price. Thanks.
www.betterbee.com/hogg-halfcomb-system/hhsp-hogg-halfcomb-superpack.asp Replacement $91.25. Cannot speak for his sale price but I'm also curious, probably easy profit since its local can sell higher. I dont like honey and I'd be tempted. 🤭
This guy seems the real deal. Very interesting video, to say the least.
Pretty stuff. I used to do some cut comb back when I was into selling honey but I never got much calls for it and usually only got rid of it when I ran out of liquid. People around here were clueless about it really. Much of the old ways is completely lost around the city dwellers.
The boxes are embossed at the factory with wax. The bees build it out to the full cell. Afterwards they fill and cap them.
I had put 2 sets on separate hives one year. After checking both, I pulled them off and went through both set up, removed all of them, and rebuilt the ones that weren't complete.
Put that back on the hive, and when pulled in the fall was really surprised that I had both spring light honey and dark fall honey mixed in the same boxes!!!
Very different to see the mixed flavors and colors interspersed in the boxes...
Very unique flavor!!!!
Wow, that’s an art piece.
I haven’t been teased this much since I was 16 years old, show me this comb honey and then tell me you want sell me any!!!

RUclips needs a love button.
That would be good even on a flip flop.😄🤣😁👍🇺🇸✌🐝
Wow, super interesting seeing a different type of rack/section for the bees to construct their hives in. It’s easy to forget that the shape we know honeycombs as is only because the the shape of frame we give them. In this context.
how much will you sell them for?
The store by me sells them for a little over $14. They seem to move every one.
@@thezfunk 14$ for a little square?
@@Francois_Dupont yes. That is at the grocery store so the beekeeper wouldn't get that. I know a local keeper that does the rounds and he sells them to me for $10 each.
LOL Pre-packaged honey. Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
I'd also be interested in what you decide to sell them for.
He should sell it minimum 12 dollars each
I remember seeing the hog commercial about those years ago here on RUclips and I was amazed by it. It's so easy to do all the work you put on a cap and sell it by the ounce if it's not as full as the other ones it's just not as expensive can't get much better than that
How much do you sell these for? (Out of curiosity)
I’m curiosity too!
i am asking the same, i want to compare price to here.
I was research might final that price on honey comb box $25

@@BlackdogDeaf thank you very much, it is quite expensive! considering its less work and it yied a bigger format than scraping the honey from the tray and centrifuging it.
That looks yummy! You are a man of many hats. God Bless!
DUDE, where can I order one or 10 of those? I want honey comb so bad.
I buy it any qnt. U gave
bobsmontanabees@gmail.com
we have some of these
Whenever I see fresh honeycomb I am hungry to try it, it looks so much more satisfying. Seeing regular honey in a jar or container without the honeycomb isn't as satisfying and doesn't make me hungry. Anyone else think the same thing?
can i buy a cassette i would love to try one

Yes, you can!
I want honey and biscuits NOW!
Looks so good😋
you didn't lick the plate , my Dad would of.
W-What would your dad do?
It’s “would HAVE“, not “would of.” No one that knows how to speak using correct grammar says “would of” what they’re ACTUALLY saying is “would’ve” the “ ‘ve” sounds kinda like “of” at the end but it’s NOT! It is short for “have!”

Cheers bro,used to eat a lot of honey a while back but have no idea what i was buying you know,now that I know what to look for and am going to start the honey thing again.thanks to you.cheers.
Wow that’s looks delicious cutting into the comb
Title is spot on,I have never seen honey like this 😲 Awesome 😊😊
every day two spoons for honey in lukewarm water with a half lemon piece squeeze will keep us in great health. thanks for the wonderful video.
My Grandad did something similar to this when I was a kid. It was the best honey. It was more work but they were popular with his customers and they fetched a good price.
These do work very well, I have been using them for a couple of years and I sell mine wholesale for $8 apiece and retail for $10 apiece. Thanks for sharing.
Could you tell me where you buy those tiny boxes....???
@@deepakvrao6996 .You can pick them up at BetterBee. And I'm sure most be supply stores would carry them as well. I hope this helps.
