Thumbs up, and thanks for the link.
Great info. I want to start keeping bees in the very near future. It is next on my list!
Katz, I have no clue as to where the website is for the cost of the construction of the topbar hive. Thank you for your help.
Katz… Thanks for the site info… I don’t have do this right now, but it’s always good to know where to get good info…when the time comes… Have a great day. See you tonight at the Homestead Honey Hour… Candy!!!
I am soooo allergic to bee venom! But I’ll buy honey from Katzhoney!
Super neat site! Thanks for the info!
hey love your videos thanks for posting them for us to watch. bees are so interesting. we have 16 hives…we have traditional bee hives..they are addictive.lol….we just pulled honey. i have video on our bees, catching swarms, working bees. i am in the process of uploading pulling and extracting honey and also a video on a solar wax melter.
‘ve kept bees for years and the old fashioned super structure and brood chambers are the best.
A friend had a backyard hive. I was amazed at how docile the bees were. We stood right next to the big hive and the bees came and went completely ignoring us. So cool. Thanks for the info!
Check out PaladinPrepper’s youtube channel…in fact…I’ll go post a link. I should have done that anyway. Sorry.
Thank you thank you. I just bought a topbar hive off ebay, and have a smoker and I bought a video for organic bee hives. We had 10 hives on our farm growing up, but I believe the top bar is less expensive than other hives.
HI Katzcradel, straining the honey with mason jars and screen looks really problematic. I use to food grade 5 gallon buckets with cheese cloth. At home depot they have cheese cloth for painting that has an elastic around the edges especially made for 5 gallon buckets. Drill holes at the bottom of one bucket, cut a big circle out of one lid so the honey can pass through. so the order will go like this from the bottom up. bucket, lid with big hole, bucket with drilled holes, cheese cloth, othr lid
you can also put a nozzle or gate at the bottom of the bottom bucket to let honey poor out instead of having to tip the bucket. That’s what I do anyway.
After using both methods I would have to agree.
