What's up guys? How you all doing? For today's video, I'm going to show you another way to harvest honey by hand without any
Electricity we're just going to mash up all the comb and get the honey. let's see how it's done
What we're going to do is just squeeze it all out, just mash it with the knife or whatever you Wanna
Cut it with I might go get Spatula, i bet with the spatula
It will be even easier
and then we're going to harvest all the wax as well know what, let me try to do this with this tool
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Oh! Wow it works pretty good actually
As you can see I have a box
foundation and looks like it's holding up pretty well, wow I might even
salvage their box foundation let the bees clean up all the honey from it and
Then I will be able to use it for the brute box next year. Awesome. Did not expect that
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
You know what, I'm probably just going to go and get regular spatula
By the way, I'm learning just like you so don't judge me very hard. okay.
And then we're going to flip it over and do the same thing on this side
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
So I'm just gonna open it see what happens
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Foundation is not a stone now
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Let's see if we can salvage it anyway
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
But it's so satisfying to much honey like that. You cannot believe it
Beekeeping is very addictive that's for sure and as you can see I'm wearing gloves this time
because I have learned it's a lot easier to just have gloves than sticky hands all day.
messed up foundation a little bit, but yes simple as that always have to do it just
take off all the honey and wax and
scrape it off of the foundation and whatever you don't get the bees can get
By the way, I have wax foundation some people like plastic foundation
Whatever you like, and some people don't use
foundations at all honestly
There is no
wrong way to be cheap as one of you know you're doing the most important things right
I noticed all that. It works good for different people and different places
Weather it's different, and the climate is different
So you just gotta figure it out. What works best for you in your area
Yeah, you know what that's pretty good
But I'm definitely going to go get spatula instead of this and then they empty frame
I'm gonna put it over here, and I put a little cooking tray underneath
So whatever is dripping in not waste but into the tray
That's what I'm doing. You can just smash it up
Very good like that probably be better if you use a knife or something, but this is fine
I just wanted to see what it feels like to mash with your hand
And it feels actually pretty good now look how much honey there is
But as you can see there's a lot of wax in there as well
What we're going to do is put it to the strainer like we were doing it when we were spinning it pretty much same thing
probably going to change the Gloves
I put all the honey
Into the jars you probably have seen it in the part 3 if you haven't go check it out once again
I'm just going to put all that wax in honey through double strainer and
Again all that stuff you can buy
that special
strainers and stuff, so I'm just going to dump it out and
Let it sit for a while. See it's best to have a couple of buckets and
Couple of strainers because this is definitely a lot longer process to harvest, honey
because you see this one frame of
Honey almost filled up to the strainer to the top
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Let me show you what's happening?
You see all that honey is pouring
And it's straining very well and all that wax is going to stay here which wax is
awesome bees
wax is
Super natural and amazing also expensive I can probably put the Lid back won't cover it up
So dust doesn't go on it or the bugs doesn't jump on it and we put it aside and just continue
How I started into this bucket
So and then I can just put the lid on that and slowly strain it into the other bucket
But first let me go get a spatula or something better only about five minutes later look at that
Most of the honey went down over there. That's awesome
This one is plastic a little bit flimsy let's see what happens
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
This one a little bit more from the cheap determine works better. Oh, yeah, I like the throne better
Look at that BOOM yeah all the honey goes down over there
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
This is just so satisfying wow
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
I can watch that all day, or do that all day
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Actually I like spatula
better because I can actually scrape off all the honey
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
BOOM now we're going to flip it over and do the other side just look at that. Oh yeah
Just uncap it first, and then.. wow look at that honey. This is the liquid gold
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
going to a little bit definitely a lot longer and
You've got to use a lot more muscle than just spinning it, but nevertheless. This is just so much fun
I don't mind doing this at all
You know what? I'm most likely going to put new frame
Foundations because I messed them up pretty bad bad
so no big deal
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Just trying to figure it out which two is going to be best to use to smash comb like this
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
it probably will be easier to do it if you actually put
suppers without the any comb and let bees build up their own comb and
A problem easier to just harvest that but you know again, you're own preference
What you like better?
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Definitely gloves is a good engineer because I don't feel my hands as sticky anymore
Just gloves are sticky I can just take them off if I have to and once again. I'm just going to put this
Back down this way let it drip for a while
next
Honestly I think this kind of spatula is the best
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Let me try to do the other way now this way is the best. Oh, yeah look at that so clean
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
There you go
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Let me show you what's happening with this you see. They're still dripping in the honey still dripping and so you could probably?
Go up one of this and just help it out a little bit
Get all the honey down that way
Squeeze it make sure it's goes all
Into the bucket once again, we're going to fold a little bit honey in here
Just like that
Now we wait
Put it aside
Okay, I'm going to do one more and then
I'll take a break
wait till all the honey is going to filter through
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
so awesome
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
and I get all the wax as possible because
We're probably going to make candles
Let me know in the comments below and thumbs up this video if you want to see me
Melting the wax and see how to filter the wax and make candles
And we'll do that
if you guys interested
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Look at that
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Okay, one more time. Okay one more time yeahhh
[SUBTITLES BY NISHA HUSSAIN]
Amazing so much honey. I can't believe it
This is just a half a super so probably take me a while to strain all that also
I probably need another container to
Put away all the wax that has been strained
So I need to go get that let me show you an example
Remember in the part two. I have to stain all the cartons and as you can see they pretty much dried almost no
honey in their
non-sticky and
That's what we want to do. That's perfect
So now I just need another
container and put it away all the wax and they feed this process to all my honey is gone
You probably will have to stain it for a few hours
Till
it's all completely strained all really well, we're going to add to it a little bit more and
Then we're just going to leave it to strain for a while
By the way this thing has come off there is double strainer
So that way I can put all the wax in a different bucket alright guys
That's pretty much it this method a lot slower to harvest, honey
You have to wait couple of hours to all the honey get strained the best way to have at least two buckets
But also if you don't have any electricity around you this is a good way to do it as well
Or just get yourself a very very big strainer
And if you have two hives it will be no time maybe in one day you can do it
But if you have ten hives you're going to be doing this for the whole week straight
You probably can at least get a hand spinner if you have lots of hives this method is only good if you only have one
Or two or three maybe four hives maximum otherwise it will take very very long time to
Harvest it like that, but let me know in comments below
What do you think if you enjoy this video give this video thumbs up also?
We need to do something with this wax. I'm going to make my own wax melter and melt all the wax again
I will have to strain it from all the impurities and junk and then
Hopefully, maybe we'll do some candles or some kind of other stuff
Let me know in comments below if you want to see that and thank you for watching and I'll see you next time
