So many people have been patiently (and not so patiently) waiting for the honey here on the Daddykirbs Farm. Finally I had a chance to get out to the hives to remove some of the frames that are jam packed full of the sweet golden goodness. For now I only have these 13 frames, but there is plenty left on the hive. Perhaps today I can go out to collect a little more.

Yay for honey, bees, and DaddyKirbs! reteemed and upvoted! Keep up the great work on the homestead!
With the local-est of local honey like that, I bet you never have seasonal allergies! What's your favorite way to enjoy that honey?
that was amazing video-I never seen the actual harvest of honey before -wow and who would`ve thought you get that much out of 14 frames!!! very exciting!
I want to get bees in the future. I have other things to get done first and it will happen. Thanks for the post, learning all I can.
I am so happy you posted it all over here Blake, it is fascinating to see from start to finish! Resteemit!
Nice post! I will follow your account, please follow me at @johnsons .
That is awesome. I've always wanted to get a backyard hive.
Do it! Lol... It's a crazy journey, but super fascinating.
I am a new follower of yours here on steemit. I think your video was outstanding! Honey is a miracle. I like how you edited the video for time and kept it simple. I have a question. Approximately how long did it take to spin out four screens? I resteemed your post.
Excellent! That's a beautiful pile of honey you have there. Have you ever made mead? Or whole hive mead (using the bees/venmon, royal jelly, propolis and pollen) this was the way it was done in times of old and the mead is absolutely wonderful. With that much honey sitting around, you may find some value in mead :)
That looks soooooo delicious. Awesome photos! Resteemed and upvote from the Hewett homestead for sure!
Great job Blake!!! Love the video!!!! Resteemed and upvoted
So interesting to watch! Now I finally know how it's done :D
so I was wrong about the knife being hot darn . I bet it tastes sweeter then fish :D thanks for sharing
That was AMAZING to watch!! So when you try and save the combs but still damage I guess the bees just repair the damages, right?
Yes the bees will clean it up and reuse it all. Bees are very resourceful and don't waste anything.
I wanna a taste yum yum :D
very insightful episode on extracting honey . love every single one of your episodes man.
I have considered beekeeping on a hobby scale. If I had enough land with flowers, or a way to hire out to farmers and gardeners, I might also be tempted to go larger-scale. It's nice to see your demonstration of how to get the final product!
May I suggest researching beekeeping for about a year or so. I learned a lot on YouTube. It's a great resource. I got my first bees this last spring and they are awesome. I'm getting ready to harvest my first batch of honey and am so exited to do so. Don't worry about not having enough flowers, they will find what they need. You can feed them sugar water when you first get them so they get a good start. Once you get started, you won't stop, just sayin. Haha
I am so jealous! I haven't convinced the hubby to get a hive or two yet. Hopefully soon! That looks so delicious!
