Separating over 350 pounds of honey from wax cappings using a honey wax seperator.

I have finally gotten the job of harvesting our honey completely finished. As you have seen through the postings I have made over the last several weeks, there is a lot more to harvesting honey than simply spinning honey from frames.
On this adventure I do the final step, separating the wax from the honey that was stored in our drums. To assist in this matter, I employ my honey/wax separator....along with my drum lift, and at the end of the day, I wound up with over 30 gallons of honey and a large garbage can full of dry cappings.
Of course, with the cappings and honey separated, there still is the process of bottling the honey as well as rendering the cappings for our next season, but that's 2 more videos yet to bee made. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed

It's not even a minute in but the energy of this man has already made me grin like a FOOL. 🥺💙

I can imagine Mr Ed standing out there in the yard looking at all the sticky drums. He sings a little tune and the bees descend like Cinderella's songbirds to clean them.

I LOVE how you let the bee's clean up the barrels and stuff, far better than you ever could! That's how they did it many years ago, and that's how it should still be done. What a prosperous adventure!! Well done!!! XOXO

If the government was as efficient as you and the bees, we'd have a budget surplus. We can only wish Jeff.

That separator pays for itself over and over. I need to get one. That is a lot of honey left in the cappings. Very nice. Thanks for the video. God bless.

I was telling my mom about you and the Abby and she was interested in watching this video. Her comment was, I'm glad nothing goes to waste." Can't wait to see what happens next, 🥰

My son is at boot camp on Parris Island. It makes my heart so happy to see you wearing that Semper Fi Bee shirt at such a beautiful Catholic Abbey. Please keep my son in your prayers. :-D

Wow...it's absolutely amazing how much honey you were able to spin out of those cappings... Bees are such industrious creatures. Making so much honey and wax like that. What miracles they are.

Oh thank you, Mr. Ed, for ending this sad week with an uplifting video! I've been feeling pretty down last couple of days, but your beaming smile, and the sight of those bees drinking up that honey at the end made me feel better. Sometimes it's hard to see the blessings, isn't it, until someone shows us? Thank you!
