Jason from Bohemia Bees demonstrates a unique method of making comb honey in mason jars using a strong bee colony. The process involves setting up the jars, checking their progress over weeks, and eventually harvesting the honeycomb. This innovative approach not only yields a limited supply of high-quality honeycomb but also showcases the dedication of Bohemia Apiary to beekeeping.

In this part of the video, Jason from Bohemia Bees demonstrates a method to make comb honey in a jar using a strong colony of bees and mason jars with drilled holes in the inner cover. Bees will fill the jars with honeycomb, capped honey, and can be sold this way. Wax is added in the bottom of the jar as a starting point for the bees. The jars act as an extension to the honey super but are closed off for hive inspection. The lids are not screwed or glued down but are heavy enough to prevent movement. After a few days, the jars can be easily lifted for inspection. Jason plans to revisit the bees in a week or two to see their progress.

In this segment of the video, a few days after setting up the mason jar supers, bees have started measuring and building comb inside the jars. Several weeks later, the beekeeper checks the progress and finds the jars packed with honeycomb that the bees have capped off. The process of removing the jars involves shaking out remaining bees and placing the jars in the freezer to eliminate pests like small hive beetles. After ensuring the jars are clean, they are filled with honey. The final step involves filling the remaining cavity in the jars with honey as the bees have already capped off the comb they built inside.
