Extracting Demonstration part 2


All the attendees bottled a jar of honey to take home.


Cranking the extractor


Uncapping frames of honey with a hot knife


Using a capping scratcher


Getting a frame ready to uncap.

On Sat afternoon Victor Samelian and myself went and pulled about twelve supers of honey. We were using Honey Robber and fume boards. It was about 85 degrees and the Honey Robber was working great.
The honey was flying out of the frames on Sunday. We were all using the hot knife, capping scratcher, the three frame extractor, double sieve strainer, and bottling a bottle of honey.
