Here are the reasons you SHOULD buy this large 12 Frame electric extractor

As the old adage goes “Beekeepers get into beekeeping for the bees, but leave beekeeping because of the honey!”

I am an amateur beekeeper on the Gold Coast who like many of us started this hobby because of my interest in bees. I initially started out with a single hive, which quickly became two because I wanted to try splitting a hive like I had read about in the books. Two hives became three after a neighbour came to see me about a swarm located in his backyard the next spring. Three hives quickly became five because I wanted to try a different breed of bee just out of curiosity. You WILL get more hives! It is a sickness! Just go with it.

The number of Hives grew, but my old two frame tangential extractor remained the same! A honey extraction with one hive took me a weekend, with myself and a mate getting the honey supers off the hives in the morning, uncapping the frames, then rushing to spin out the 30 odd frames during the heat of the day to ensure the honey strained quickly through the strainers. By the time we had three hives, we were extracting four supers from each of our hives….12 boxes…120 frames. Our weekend honey extraction now took place over two FULL weekends (5:30 starts and 7:30pm finishes). Bees will fill boxes in a matter of weeks during the honey flow so…rinse and repeat. Sure there were beers, but we were quickly becoming tiered of extracting weekends away from families.

BIGGER IS BETTER!

We decided to upgrade our two frame honey extractor to a four frame one which was still manual. Another $800 down the drain! Sure we doubled the speed at which we could spin the honey but a person still has to crank that bitch of a handle! Frames blew out which caused wax blockages and time wasted to cleaning strainers.

Upgrade now NUMBER THREE. I decided to by a much larger MOTORISED extractor so I could reclaim my precious weekends! This was the best decision I have made in my beekeeping hobby!

I have now done TWO YEARS with a 12 frame electric extractor and could not be happier. The benefits that I have found going larger than expected are;

1. The larger extractor size enables you to effectively spin out two 27kg drums of honey at a time. By straining one bucket at a time you enable the wax capping’s that have been flung off the frames to rise to the top of the honey inside the extractor.

2. The radial design of these extractors throw the honey out FROM BOTH SIDES of the frames at once

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. I am a teacher so please call before 9am and after 3:30. Txt messages are fine.
