I just was searching thru Youtube looking at honey extraction videos and stumbled across this one.

Please pay close attention to the capping machine and let me know what you think of this guy's capping technique.

That was awesome!

He is not uncapping...he is removing the bees from the frames.

NS is right and i am playing with one of those right now. I havent seen them for sale in the US. I would use softer brushes, but thats just me. he is using plastic from what i cna tell

pretty cool, efficient

If I tried that with my bees I could post a real interesting follow up. :ws

Seems a lil' rough on the bees to me, but I'm paranoid about hurting them. However, that trailer set up for the hives is pretty dang sweet.

That bee remover is awesome..... And so is the trailer... I was actually thinking pretty hard about doing something like that.

So that I could have bees ready for almonds, without having to cart them down to warmer weather.

I think that his bee removing brush could be a little softer. Other than that his set up is awesome. I might want to add air conditioning.
I agree completely with every thing he said!!!

Wow, I like that setup, :thumbsup:Thanks for posting

notice they dont show him getting the heck knocked outta him by the bees? they cut and move the filming...LOL....i know he's prolly use to it, but unless i had softer brushes i wouldnt do that to them for sure!
