hey guys today we're gonna be looking at the honey that we produce here at UK yeah we grow as you know we sound behaves now we all want nice runny honey to be able to sell or to eat them or have you but as we know quality honey actually crystallizes over time so in today's episode we're gonna look at how you can turn this crystallized honey back into a liquid honey with very few bits of equipment no honey warmers and things like that we're gonna do it on a very basic scale so we've just got one hive and you've got a couple of frames that honey that you want to do and this is a good way here I have a bucket of honey that I put bay earlier last year and I'd forgotten a berry stays I'm gonna make this honey for sale available via Facebook if I was to pull a lid off it you can see where this honey has started crystallizing these 15 kilos of honey year now all we need to do I'm gonna get it make a little trip gonna put a with yeah we've got a big sort of pan full of water and we are going to make put these on the bottom we're gonna sit this on top of that now this pan isn't boiling water but it is quite hot and we're gonna keep stirring the honey over the next sort of half an hour or so until it all turns back to a liquid you do not want the honey to get too hot okay if you get too hot destroy those enzymes in the honey so you've got to be very careful if it starts getting warm then you need to take it off you know too hot then you need to take it off let it cool down a little bit and then continue the thing but but like I said this won't be a problem it's this honey isn't gonna get that hot so we need to do here is put in our two little sticks lift honey I don't know what it down into this pot maybe have it and I don't know if you can see there how high the water is there now we can turn the gas up just a little bit because obviously if that water will cool down the fear isn't due to the honey being so cold and that's all we need to do and the next thing is to get a slotted spoon and give the honey to stir but you can see just how thick and crystallized the ten years that isn't gonna go into a jar like that and be liquid okay so this is what we're looking for at the end okay guys so as you can see no this is getting much more liquidy okay so we're gonna give it a good stir now all the water is on a bit of a boil further down you can see it's still quite crystallized but it won't be long and we've probably been about 15 minutes to this point so we're going to leave that there and we're just going to take a temperature reading of the honey turn the hold I'm still going up so let's wait a minute I just sold off there so let's okay so with only a please as you can see okay so we're only at 40 degrees literally that's just lukewarm in fact it's not even lukewarm that's nice and sweet okay guys so as you can see now I've got a little bit of white scum last fall you need a settling tank for but now we have nice runny honey it's not hot as you can see it's very sweet and this is ready note to cool down and get bottled there is no granulation in it at all now very nice and very nice and runny there's you can't taste no greater no anything and that's the way to do it now you just need to make sure that you don't over heat this any and the ways you'll end up losing the goodness out of it but this is ready now to come out and we're going to put it into another container and we will fill the first container even when it's hot and I'll show you that now be very careful but that isn't boiling but the water is we've got 15 kilos here scare this muck it up the way so we're just gonna scrape that out look up today every little drop don't do what I done and tip it all over the place okay so now we are ready this can cool down now and then we can bottle it and we will come back to you when we put some in in the bottles but for now this is just gonna cool down a little bit cooler than it actually is like I said you can literally touch it it's beautiful stuff and it's not hot you know you know what what sugar would be like if it was hot I'll be taking a skin off my hands it's only lukewarm and we can bottle that so we'll come back in a second now when this cools down okay so this is cooled down now and we're gonna extract them into a couple of jars I use these eight down sex agonal jars and they come with a nice gold top so we're just loosen off the honey gate and when we pull it out we just lift it very slowly excuse my hand there we go one nice full jar of honey this bucket is now settled and as you can see the honey is lovely and clear okay and we've just poured this there's a few little bubbles in it but over the next couple of hours those bubbles are raised to the surface so we're going to do the same thing now poor three oops don't do that that one's all over the side okay give me one second while I wipe this one up and then so we've got three nice jars of honey here and all we have to do now is put these stickers on though there's three stickers that I put on to my jars the first one is a a seal and that shows that the top hasn't been tampered with the next one is some instructions and the third one is all our details here so we start with the seal first not sure if you're able to see this we'll come here and it's literally just central it tuck it down the side then we go the instructions and last but not least we've got our little logo and our details on there and there you have it guys from a bucket of honey that was solid just a couple of hours ago we now have a jar of nice runny honey that is ready for sale so we'll do the other two stickers and later on I will crack on with doing the rest of this and we will make this available via our Facebook group for people to buy as I said you know this year we're going to be doing a lot of videos above the bees as well as the gardening and hopefully we're going to be raising our own Queens and expanding our bee operation from 20 hives up now typically with bees you lose about 30% throughout the winter I'm hoping that we don't lose up many they have feed on them but you never can tell so they go guys this is three jars of honey bottled ready for sale we sell them at 450 a jar and this bucket now will go and these will get put by as you can see it's nice and liquid ready to go well there it is 68 yards came up to that bucket we just got to put the labels now on all of these and I've had help off Caitlin and Tina helping me Jarra mcbrady and cleaning up any spillages and things like that so now all we got to do is get the labels on them and they're ready to go anyway guys I hope that was of interest to if it was at the subscribe button and to stay tuned for more B videos we have in plenty Wars become thanks very much and I'll see you in the next episode
