We started work on a new shed out at the garden. It is not exactly finished but I covered it with plastic in order to use it as a honey extraction hut. The propane stove outside was used to boil up some water to clean out the extractor. To power the extractor I used my electrical generator. It works as long as you slowly ramp up the frames spinning.
Inside the hut before the I started extracting the honey from the frames. I still looks clean and there are no wasps, hornets or bees flying around inside.
The honey extractor can hold 10 frames at a time (or one full super). Before the frames go into the extractor the combs are uncapped. I just use a simple comb like capping tool. Working inside the hut on our recent hot “summer” days is kind of like doing exercise inside a sauna.
