Really nice job on the honey house and addition of a dry/storage room. You are giving me lots of ideas. Keep us posted on how it goes. Like the roller pan idea. The rollers look stout. Thanks for sharing.

WOW YOU HAVE GOT IT GOING ON . That all looks GREAT Randall. Let me tell you from me finding my problem in my honey house. Please check around your building VERY WELL. I thought my building was tight .😂😂. No it was not . I put my supers in my building turned on heaters and Dehumidifier got everything set up I thought I was ready two days later I opened the doors and WOW . I bet there was 10-15 thousand bees in there and this was a NEW BUILDING. I had never had this to happen before with my old building so CHECK TOPS , BOTTOM AND ALL AROUND ALL DOORS and if you have VENTS , OVER HANGS let’s just say EVERYWHERE.😂😡😂😡😂. I had to laugh to keep from crying. Looks like you have done a great job setting up your operations. Congratulations and good luck . Thanks Randall

thanks, i did check when purchasing, it has screen in peak and luvers in overhang. i guess it was their solution to keep dirt daubers and carpenter bees out.

Randall carpenter comment, 😇Sorry guess ya really are never an ex-carpenter. If it was me I would add some blocking to the corners of your new building, it will make the building more stable less bouncy and feel more secure when you are moving things around in side. Sorry spent a lot of years in the industry and a few building those style sheds so I eyes notice things.😉 I didn't mean to make it a recommendations comment, I really like how you are using your space. Your new honey room should work great for you, I would love how you set up the fans for dehydrating. I love how you pump it directly into the container, nice clean setup Randall. I wonder if you could have a float shut off valve on the pump? Now I have honey house envy, some day I'll get to have. Great idea to putting everything on heavy duty coaster wheels. 🤠Ty for sharing your time Randall, Blessed Days...

thanks for sharing the blocking. the corner where i had the extractor strapped previous years had the blocking and it does make it more rigid for sure. i am trying the extractor this year not strapped. the clarifier did come with a float switch. thanks again.

Looking forward to the extraction. I need a better setup myself. Where are you able to sell so much honey, and are you planning to sell it by the drum or jar? I can sell 50 gal pretty quick, but couldn’t imagine selling 300 gallons local!

Randell: I’m in central Alabama, at Leeds/Moody area. When should I be putting my honey supers on my hives? I always struggle when I should be putting them on my hives. Do you put your supers on a certain week of the year? Thank You Kenny

Drawn combs i start putting on in early march. For you that might be roughly feb 20th as you will be a good 2 weeks ahead of me in spring build up. allow broodnest to expand up thru 2.5 mediums.(i run single deeps.) Then in early april i shake bees down to first medium, move all brood as low as possible in mediums, and add queen excluder. If timed properly it should eliminate 90% of swarming and makes much bigger honey crops if you do not want to take early splits. If you take splits that is fine but yiu will not get as much honey. Foundations i do not add til last week of april, check weekly and add more as needed. By june 10th foundation drawing with natural nectar will be over. There needs to be heavy nectar flow for them to get drawn.
