Does anyone else feel that if Dame Edna and Mr. Bean had a love child that it would sound just like the Beeman. Lol ;)
Throw in a touch of Benny Hill too.
Having been using some of your wife's lip balm for a while now, the was cleaning process if definitely worth the effort!
Would love to see a video of the products the Mrs makes!
Bees do recycle wax.
It takes 8kg of honey to make 1kg of wax for bees. So you can calculate how many bees it take to make 1kg of wax. But a bee doesnt make wax alone.
I bought some wax and lip balm off of your shop, it looks like fantastic stuff and a lot less expensive than I thought it would be. Even with the shipping cost, it was far less than going to one of the fancy shops around here and getting something mass produced. I look forward to giving a try, it looks like quality stuff.
Excellent demonstration for large wax melting run. I only Keep 5 hives out back and it's hot as hell here in S.Louisiana so I use a solar wax melting box for my small runs of mostly cappings with the last stage being a paper towel and the wax comes out super clean. I use it to make lip balms.
Oh my god YASSS! Totally buying these for Christmas pressents gor hubby and family glad to support Aussie Bee Keeping Products! Thank you Mr & Mrs Brusg bee Man ❤❤❤
I'm starting to wonder if there really is a Mrs. Bush Bee Man. We've never seen her. Lol
WOW cool. Like see few soap making videos too.
Thank you for interesting video about beekeeping industry and honey bees. Best wishes to the entomologists and beekeepers and bumble-bee lovers and insect lovers!
Love the lip balm
How is this double boiler different than your homemade dewaxer? Aren't they accomplishing the same thing?
I love this channel so much! ❤️🍯🐝
wondering if one of those hot air food dehydrators, with heat settings, could be used to filter wax... lay a filter over the tray of the dehydrator and set up a catch bin... the wax wouldn't burn as the heat could be set and it wouldn't have to be watched, leaving a person free to do other things... I bet it could be done with something like my Nesco dehydrator... the trays are plastic so could be modified if needed... I'm gonna put some more thought into this idea...
Thanks
Really Cool BBM, would love to see the video of some of the things you make from the wax. Those moulds made the wax look like something you want to eat LMAO. Great effort lads!
Mark: "Don't wanna put wax is that 'cause I reckon that was her Nan's."
Me: DON'T YOU DARE!
You can get silicon rubber ice cube moulds for around $2 each that make great wax blocks.
Wax contains about 4 times the calories of honey of the same weight, but as lipids(fats) rather than sugars. So I assume a bee has to consume an amount of honey that weighs a fair bit more than 4 times that of the wax it produces. 1g honey = less than a quarter of a gram of wax. It's hard to find exact details on the subject though. I don't know how much wax they produce in a lifetime though.
That's amazing!
i immediately thought of counting how much Honey you get from a hive, and how much wax you get.. whatever the difference is.
but that is interesting to include the actual "resources" the Bee needs to make each
Some people have a hoard of gold coins and gold bars. You seem to have collected a hoard of beeswax coins and beeswax bars.
An American tablespoon of Bee's wax weighs 14.21 grams, so 70.37 American tablespoon weighs a Kilo. I previously didn't know there was such thing as an American tablespoon.
A metric tablespoon of Bee's wax weighs 14.42 grams, so 69.37 metric tablespoon weighs a Kilo.
Golly that made sooo many blocks of wax in the end im shocked! Also i wish i had a beard to use that soap in 👍
lajawab god men zabardast
So did mum ever make more beanies for sale
Watched all the videos, and they're all precious and I love them all.
But just to mix it up a little, perhaps a different bit of music during montages? And perhaps then I wouldn't just FF through them.
Oh, hey! Better idea! What would keep me from not FF'ing -> during the montages, how about some informational texts that pops up that describes what is happening. Like from 10:30 when the wax crystallises. How, and why? How long does it take?
g'day bush bee company, just curious as to how many hives you cleaned for that much wax yield? cheers!
Moustache wax would be a great product for the male grooming line.
I've had a mustache for 45 years and have never known anyone who used mustache wax I think the days of the handle bar mustache is over. I think mustache waxing now is like when they rip your pubic hairs out with wax. LOL.
Called Apiary specialist here in America.
Why do ya'll use sheet metal siding for your interior walls? What's wrong with drywall?
It could be economics or environmentally friendlier. Maybe gypsum/trees aren't as abundant?
America = wood and drywall
Australia = brick and metal
Its like a lean to its not inside his house
Mini ore and sheet metal was often used in rural Australia. Back in the day, sheet metal was plentiful and cheap.
4.2g t a teaspoon, 238 bees to make a kg of wax.
I read somewhere that it takes 8 pounds of honey to make 1 pound of wax
I've seen where they feed the water back to the bees in open feeders. Any thoughts?
It certainly couldn't hurt. But after being boiled it is not raw honey anymore.
@@privatebubba8876 I understand this, but the sugars are still in that water. Also, the water needs only be half boiling temperature to melt the wax. There's just as many methods as there are keepers, I reckon. I like solar melters. It saves time, resources and energy. They can be made large scale. All you have to do is load at one end, and collect at the other.
@@gazinta Like I said it couldn't hurt.
@@privatebubba8876 I grew up on a farm. We had to pump water up by hand and absolutely everything was re-purposed. Even something like brood would be used as chicken food, and eggshells would be composted. I was just inquiring to BBMs feeding practices. It can get quite expensive.
@@gazinta We drew water from a well with a bucket.
Entomologist study insects
They'd be fun at a party
I cheated...
The number of bees required to produce 1 kg of beeswax varies depending on the species of bees and other factors, such as the quality of the nectar and pollen available to the bees. However, on average, it is estimated that it takes about 8,000 to 10,000 bees to produce 1 kg of beeswax.
Someone probably got some big govenment grant to figure that out
🐝🧀
По английски понимаю только слово wax, но все равно смотрю)
1kg of wax out of 10kg of honey
one bee produces about 1/450th of a pound of wax in it life time. At lest that’s what google said.
Really wanted wax just for shits and giggles but $30 shipping no can do D:. Lol
8 lbs of honey needed to make one pound of wax. That should help
I've heard conflicting takes on this ratio. Some say it's biased due to the fact that they sell uncapping/spinning equipment or it drives the price of wax up due to peoples less willingness to harvest wax. In other words, some people are skeptical of this claim due to biases and special interests in the industry.
Uncle Reggie that could very well be true.
@@crazyate9830 I'm new to this, please understand. I'm trying to learn as much as I can by using Tube videos as a precursor to being certified. It started out a cause to help out the smallest creatures that do the most work. Where I live, the regulations alone are enough to make the average enthusiast turn away. To even sell one jar, I would need a 30,000 dollar investment without a yield for at very least a year. To show a profit on my investment, it could take up to 5 years with health inspectors and the labor department trying to shut me down every chance they could. Safe food handling courses, workshops, and even construction of out buildings (honey huts) with 3 bathrooms and seperate water/septic are manditory. Sterilization equipment, labels(FDA approved) and CDC snap inspections also prevalent. Colony placement cannot be near bus stops, public parks or schools.
They're actually putting up roadblocks to prevent local beekeepers from competing with commercial operations. The fines are heavy, and the company less than 20 miles from here basically owns the fresh market stands. A guy like me has to either move to pursue an endeavor like this, or go to work for the honey factory at minimum wage.
Did I mention that I live surrounded by Democrats? Lol
@30lbThreadie well? Some of these are the well-seasoned, hardcore types. They'll come by in the middle of the night and take your gear or vandalize it. Protein starved vegans think honeybees are exploited, so they will 'liberate' them. By liberate, I mean suit up, knock them over and pour diesel fuel on them. They're supposed to be the environmentalist types, too.
Don't use the wife's stuff happy wife happy life
