    I finally got to open my horizontal hive since putting a swarm in it and adding some frames, and it was to harvest the honey. The bees and the box are awesome! Thanks Good Time Charlie for the gift. God's peace to all.

      Plus, the long hives are so comfortable to work when you get as old as I am. No more lifting heavy boxes.

    Congrats on your first harvest! Invest in a two-frame manual spinner and you can save all that good comb. Your yield will double since the bees won't be wasting time building comb. Simply spin out the honey and put the frames back in there. Same day. You will be getting about 4 gallons of honey per hive!!!!

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  7 месяцев назад

      Thank you for your support Kenny, but this was not my first harvest of honey, it was the first from my long hive from my house. I volunteer keeping bees for a group of Benedictine monks in Covington, La where I take care of over 150 hives and harvest about 350 gallons of honey a year. I have over 580 videos showing what I do at the abbey with the bees and it would be an honor if you would check out a few of those videos for me. Again, thank you for you help and suggestions, and I hope to hear from you again. God's peace brother.

    Mug up from New Hampshire to Louisiana, 30 F and dark at 4:30 am. We lost over 3 minutes of daylight last night. Days are getting short. Bees are still finding small amounts of pollen here yesterday. Just stopped feeding some light hives and giving them time to dry up before I reduce the number of frames in my horizontal hives. Got one hive left to go through if it gets above 60 F today. I may pull some honey, but most frames will go back to the bees when the red maples are blooming in the spring. Wow, nice hive Charlie, really beautiful! Enjoy the honey! Thanks for sharing. Take care.

    Jeff, love the cleaning crew start to this video. Here in Canastota NY (20 miles east of Syracuse NY) I do the same. However I git a lot of yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, carpenter bees, and paper wasps helping with the cleaning.
    Long Langstroth Hive (LLH) has become my go to. Built 4 this year. I too, moved the legs from the ends to the sides. Also single entrance versus triple. My first LLH had the triple but now 2 are sealed up by a scrap of wood. No need for a queen excluder as the queen stays in the brood area. I love my LLHs. 32° this morning and all I have to do for winterizing is walking away. I have 2" ridged foam insulation in the top. This works for both winter heat retention and summer cooling purposes. No heavy lifting for the mite treatment. I.e. no lifting heavy boxes to get to the brood section. I do reduce the entrance for winter prep but that's so minor I tend to forget about it. Here's my cleaning crew with a tour of my apiary at the end: ruclips.net/video/IUE74FoP0ao/видео.html
    Edit: got to love deep honey frames! I harvested over 10 gallons of honey from the 20 frames I pulled from my LLHs 3 weeks ago.
    Edit 2: definitely dark late season honey. Got my self a little fruit press to squeeze every last drop out of my cappings. Then discovered that it was toooooo little. 😉

Last year the bees had to build from scratch their foundation so zapped all their energy and also we had robber bees of great magnitude so we had nothing by September.

      How big is your GOD?
      Bigger than you? Bigger than me?
      When the time comes to act,
      are we gonna flee?
      When it's time to stand up and say we've had enough,
      then we'll find out who's week and who's tough.
      Will we speak the truth, no matter the cost?
      And come to find out, most men are just lost.
      They've had enough of the lies,
      enough of the judging,
      Some are hungry for truth,
      Some just bitter, and running.
      But, there is still hope for those who will seek
      When you get on your knees,
      HE remembers the weak,
      The humble, the meek.
      "Who, that God of yours-
      We don't need Him,
      We've got our own," many will say,
      But come to find out,
      When the going gets rough,
      The God that they made,
      Well, just won't be enough.
      But it can be ok,
      cause my GOD is real big,
      Full of mercy and love,
      But let's not forget,
      Justice, judgment, fire and brimstone from above.
      Oh, yes HE'S real Big,
      And HE is faithful and just,
      To forgive us our sins
      An also cleanse us.
      So when it comes to that mercy
      That every man needs
      How could we want it so badly,
      And not want it to be Free?
      So, what is the key to
      finding the Truth?
      Well, that's a good question-
      Don't mind, if I do!
      The key to the truth,
      The key to my GOD,
      Is my Lord Jesus Christ,
      The Messiah, the ONE.
      The Lamb of GOD,
      Both Holy, and True,
      HE died for me and He died for you
      He still opens doors
      And shows people GOD,
      How much they can see
      Is not bought by there works-
      Only by faith, and a heart that is
      Hurt-
      A heart that is broken,
      A heart that is sad.
      When there's no more pride,
      No more greed-
      Well,, that's when a blind man
      Is able to See.
