Honey Extraction – in photos

We extracted 44 frames of honey, making over 150 jars. The profits from the sale will be going to Autistica.

 Five supers, containing 44 frames of honey.

Two full super frames. The white caps are wax, applied by the bees to seal the honey in.

Using an uncapping fork to remove the wax caps.

 

 Centrifuge extractor that can take 9 frames at a time.
 

Running honey out of the extractor through a double sieve. That is the only treatment the honey receives. Spun. Sieved. Jarred.

 Extracted honey in settling tank, plus two other buckets because we had so much.
 

Extracted super frame, called a “wet super”.
