    Already?? Them bees be working hard!

  • @FlameMirage says:

    whoa! hoocho~ yummmm

  • @middleway1885 says:

    Soo exciting!

    How do you tell if the bees are consuming flowers that are from toxic areas? Cheers!

    • @Hoocho says:

      Define toxic areas?
      Bees forage in a radius of 8km from their location… so if there’s a “toxic area” within that radius you can assume they’ll go there

  • @greggory1532 says:

    Hoocho dude! I’m so glad I found your channel. Just started an NFT setup, I can’t wait to watch your videos on vertical towers. I’m also tryna save up for a 3D printer. Oh, and I’ve been a hobby apairist for maybe 4 years. Not often ya find a channel with all the things you enjoy. Cheers!

    Lovely!

    Sweet Harvest
    Would ❤ a Dragon fruit update, seriously considering a DWC 5gal bucket with 27gal tote resv. But I’m gonna have to come up with a external trellising. Maybe sandwich a 4×4 between two buckets with a dual hex box on top maybe mimic around the bucket to get extra support 😊

  • @DonutChucka says:

    Nice one Hoocho. The best honey I ever tasted was from a wild hive, hidden in a hollow branch that dropped from a large gum tree on our property. My dad and I found it and had an impromptu honey feed on the spot.

  • @CreatureCribs says:

    You should grow hydroponic manuka flowers so your bees can produce manuka honey for high profit. 😂 winner winner chicken dinner!

  • @benphillips1152 says:

    Amazing, well done Hoocho

  • @CreatureCribs says:

    I forgot to ask. The flexible foldable water tanks are they waterproof on the top like the blue water drums you use ? I’m going to purchase your hooch buckets but want to have a gravity fed rain gutter grow with the float valves. It will be kept outside, living in Perth

    • @Hoocho says:

      They don’t have a cap for the top, but the amount of rain they’ll collect is insignificant. Especially in Perth 😂
      Jk I know you get some hectic winter rain.

  • @RobsAquaponics says:

    Nice harvest mate. How much do you need for a batch of mead?

    • @Hoocho says:

      37.5 Kg to make 100L of mead (the size of my still) *wink wink* 🤣

    • @mojonojo3 says:

      ​@@Hoochoit’s slightly disappointing given the cost and time involved in making the honey then distilling it. Not a lot of honey flavour makes it across the still. Leave it as mead, then fortify with spirit.

    • @sambagamb says:

      @@Hoocho So you’ll be right to set some off before Chrissy going by the speed of your team

  • @glennmccarthy8773 says:

    Congrats, mate, great looking colour of your honey.

  • @ShewanJanith says:

    Wow hooch!, you have a grow tower ! , Really need a video about that , (and a DIY method)

  • @vegasfreeballer6604 says:

    You sir are an absolute delight. Love watching your stuff

  • @DangerZone-w6y says:

    The Bee Keeper with Jason STanthom is my favorite movie.

  • @sambagamb says:

    Aw bud, so exciting! Especially seeing how happy the experience has been for you, I’m rapt fo you! Sounds like there’ll be some mead coming up on All The Gear 😀

  • @downunderfulla6001 says:

    I wish I was still beekeeping. Honey gates always raised my temperament😂

    Get an inch with piece of timber to fit the bucket. From the underside in the centre screw in a screw to rest the frame on while you uncap.
    Remember honey cells face upwards slightly. So position your frames in the spinner so the top is towards the back of the spin if you know what I mean.
    Frames will come out a lot cleaner.
    I still have a jar that size from every single harvest I did. The seasonal flavours are next level. Even one weeks harvest to the next week (if a good flow is on) can be totally different in taste, complexity and colour

  • @GardenFreshHomestead says:

    WoW, your hand swelled up like a balloon, well done on your first honey harvest.
    We also have a flow hive and hope to harvest our honey by Chrismas or the end of Summer.
