- Plywood Preparation: I started by painting a piece of thick plywood, though in hindsight, painting post-construction might have been better.
- Jar Placement: I then marked and drilled holes for the jars, ensuring enough space between them for easy unscrewing.
- Securing Lids: Instead of merely placing the jars into the holes, I decided to screw the lids onto the base for a firmer hold. This would prevent the jars from moving when the bees are at work.
- Assembly: After drilling the holes, I glued and nailed the lids in place. I also caulked around the outside to prevent bees from entering this modified hive section.
- Jar Installation: Finally, I screwed in tiny wood screws at the top and sides of each lid for a secure fit. This step was crucial to avoid gaps that might invite pests like hive beetles.
Final Setup and Expectation:
The jars were then carefully screwed onto the secured lids. To protect the setup and allow for regular hive operations, I planned to enclose this system with a super and cover it.
This DIY Mason Jar Honey Harvesting System is a testament to the innovative spirit in beekeeping. It’s a practical and visually fascinating way to collect honey. Not only does it simplify the harvesting process, but it also provides a unique view of the bees at work. In a few weeks, I’ll check back to see the progress and success of this experiment.
This technique could revolutionize small-scale honey production, offering a more direct and engaging way to harvest. It highlights the potential for creative approaches in traditional practices, proving that even well-established methods like beekeeping have room for innovative enhancements.
