- [Voiceover] Okay, let's take a look
and see how it's going.
You can see the ends there are quite filled.
See them moving in there.
The middle's looking lovely,
you can actually see the capping.
The wax capping they've put on.
Those cells are perfectly full.
On the left there, you can see they're almost full.
(buzzing)
Hear the sound of a drone buzzing around?
(buzzing)
They're very busy,
you can see them closing the caps in there.
You can smell the melaleuca coming in.
I'm doing a beautiful job of capping
this out to a friend.
Look at them go,
beautiful girls.
- [Voiceover] I know, it's really good.
- [Voiceover] So you can see the frames
in the middle are full,
and not so full by the edge.
Beautiful cap there.
Taking the top cover off where the tool inserts.
- [Voiceover] Choose your frame?
- [Voiceover] We've chosen this one.
Alright.
I see the honey pouring in.
Look at that,
beautiful.
It's moving quick isn't it?
- [Voiceover] Yeah.
- [Voiceover] You can watch the honey draining
out of the vat, over three kilos,
out of that one frame.
Now we've got a second jar,
filled in about seven minutes.
They've waxed up that cap.
- [Voiceover] Yeah, yeah.
- [Voiceover] Can't find.
Bees are chilled in there,
haven't seemed to have minded the honey
coming out of the middle.
Look at that.
We've just turned the tool,
and now it's really formed the cells,
and the bees are into it.
Chewing back the capping and fixing it up.
So we've got about three or four cells here
where the wax is already chewed off.
These other ones they're chewing away at.
And that's done.
Now all those cells are closed ready for
the bees to fill it up again.
- Seven K.
(laughter)
- [Voiceover] Fantastic.
You going to be okay later?
In the draining.
You guys didn't eat enough,
the honey is all drained out of this trough,
and over here there is still honey in it.
So we probably should have unblocked the little drains,
but,
we'll leave it there and see what happens.
Another day later, and they're looking quite busy.
They're putting honey back in those two.
