Honey House Mechanics and Design

First comnent finally 😂😂

This is a very useful video!

Bob thank you for being such a gracious host. I learned more that day than I did in two years of study…there aren’t many resources out there on this stuff. You have built a fine legacy getting people started right in beekeeping, there are few finer compliments than that.

Every time Bob shows ANY type of equipment, it’s followed by the statement it’s expensive 😂

Great video Bob. Thanks Duck River Honey for interviewing and asking all the questions.
A lot of this Bob covered during the Hive Life Conference, but there is definitely new information here in this video as well. Thanks again for sharing all this great information with all of us. 😃

Great video very educational.

A $25 magnetic printed sign on a tailgate works better than a $350 radio commercial. Everyone in a parking lot or on the highway reads signs.

👍

As always, great information Bob. Thanks for passing along your lessons learned.

Always educational. Thanks so much for another great video.

Nathan, great video and great series! Very much need to know information for anyone getting started with honey processing, big or small. I never thought about wax clogging drains and didn't know honey would kill septic bacteria.

Such an informative collaboration!
Thanks for sharing!

Did you pour deep concrete pads for the steel supports to sit on? Was this designed with the help of a building engineer?

Thanks for sharing very informative videos it’s amazing what goes into bee keeping and honey production a lot more than I thought it would explain why honey has a good price on it at the store or farm market cause it’s a labor intensive thing but a necessity to for other things like pollinating crops again thanks for everything god bless everyone

شكراً على هذه المعلومات القيمة أخي الكريم الله يبارك ويوفق لما فيه الخير

Great video, very informative. Basically the more times you physically touch and or move something in business the more it cost

Bob, this is wonderful information, it really got me to thinking about how beneficial this will be to the folks wanting to grow their business. It makes me wish that I was younger and in better health to get into beekeeping in a larger way than what I’ve been doing as a hobbyist beekeeper. You are always so down to earth and willing to help folks with good information about bees and honey. I appreciate you taking the time to meet my wife and chat with us in TN. I’m going to surprise you one day and come to your retail store.

I have loved this series. I never intend to do more than be a hobbyist but do enjoy understanding how things work.

Another great video!

Commercial facilities have so many regs. I'm in Pa. A friend of mine built a small honey house at the community garden in Philadelphia. She allowed me to extract for years before she ended up in an assisted living facility.
It was just a shed. It had a concrete floor. Running water and hot water was required. It was tight to move around in there but it worked for what she needed. Now I don't have a facility but I also reduced to a hobby beekeeper. I only extract what I feel I need and do it up the mountains for personal use. I can't do it at my home outside Philadelphia because we do have a dog. Animals are a big no no for any kind of processing.
I might be going back to cut comb or sectional comb honey this year. The farm where I have most of my hives is certified by our state agriculture department for agricultural processing and sales.
Each state is different. The size of the beekeeping operation and extraction is different.
Great video Bob. Thank you very much.

This video is fantastic, I'm right at the point of honey house set up and find this information so incredibly useful. Please keep it coming. Great work guys

The honey killing the microns just goes to show the quality of honey

Thank you so much, Bob.

Thank you for posting this very informative video. I will never need to pack honey on such a large scale, but really enjoyed seeing how it’s done.

I can't understand English well but I am trying...thank you

Great info there. Doubt most of us will go to any size near yours but all the info will help any size house. Thank 😊

Great information for Real estate 🏡 Money💰 Price point for honey is very important. California to expensive to create jobs. I’ll stick with boutiques Honey 🍯 I will keep it simple in my beginnings😉

What’s your thoughts on Caucasian vs Italian

Лайк авансом 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

Hi Bob could you possibly do a video on tips and tricks how packers deal with candying honey once packed in jars. We have a small shop and once the honey candies it’s almost impossible to sell

Thank you Bob for this video. It is a treasure of very good information for setting up a honey house. This is so important for any beekeeper with the desire to expand - a study guide to honey house design.

Awesome discussion, lots of info. 👍🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Great video as always.

Bob, how did you seal your concrete floors, just standard concrete sealer or are they painted? Thanks.

How to Compensating for the numerical deficiency by increasing the effort leads to the collapse of honey bees. Are there ways to avoid the collapse, thank you

how can we contact ?

its incredible the difference between the work in a develepd country and a poor one. We have exportation rights and retentions that take away at least 75% of the sell price. I mean, we sell honey at 4,5 at the other country. The exporter has to sell on the official market at half the usd price in least than 10 days since receiving the money. Wer the producers get 3 usd at the official exchange rate, that is literally half the price of real dollars ad its not the rate at we get our imports and staples. We are actually getting just 1.4 usd per kilogram. I have met people that have 2000/2500 bee hives and they dont have such instalations not even close. We cant grow at such fast rate. Its a real issue. The state takes everything in here. I live in Argentina.

Do you have some books you aprove to learn this stuff? like meassuring humidity, lowering it, etc? i would love to meet your instalations some day. Iam second generation beekeeper and im impressed with your achievements. Cant stop watching your videos. Than you so much, they are really worth it.

Did you do anything special to the joints on the plywood you used on the walls of the honey house? I was thinking about using FRP but, plywood was good enough for you. I'm sure I will be happy with it too. Was just wondering about the joints.

What did he mean ya can't sell your honey on same land as honey house?

hi bob i want to know wich thermostat you use for control the pumps of the tanks for the warming process?

Take the lift off the fork lift and build a cage that you can remove and use that for a elevator .

Very Informative video. Love how Bob is so generous in giving us the benefit of his vast experience
