    Mr Ed please keep making these videos. I know sometimes as a content creator you might think they've seen this a hundred times so I won't film this. I personally could watch these videos and never get sick of it

      I too love watching the bees clean up the residual honey, but even better than watching it, I love walking into the midst of them while they are feeding and listening to the sounds them make. Thanks for watching, and I hope you will check out more of my over 600 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them.

    • @JeffHorchoff

      I have never considered adding anything to the separator as it works so well. The little mess it makes is not worth the effort to me to come up with a way to contain it. Plus, I'm really lazy at heart. Thanks for watching. God's peace Craig.

    Interesting that you use a pump to drain honey from the settling barrels to the storage barrels. I think I'd just use the hoist to put them on a stand above the storage barrel and let gravity do the rest.

    Being a hobbyist beekeeper with around 10 hives I know beekeeping is a lot of work. You are doing an order of magnitude more work, but enjoying the efficiency economies of scale can bring. I find your shop and machinery fascinating! Thanks for sharing. God Bless

      Wondering how much time you spend working 10 hives?

      The main focus each beekeeper should maintain, regardless of the size of their operation, is to keep it fun, and for me, I'm having a LOT of fun. Thank you for your blessings and for taking the time to watch. Until the next one, God's peace.
