We had a great time as we extracted honey for our huge record setting honey harvest! Great friends came from as far away as northern Utah to help spin out this beautiful liquid gold. We used the old and refurbished Cowan Uncapper as well as two brand new Hillco Megamax extractors and we were finally able to get the job done after a long day. It was so much fun and very satisfying. I simply could not do this beekeeping thing at this level without great friends who are not afraid to work. There is nothing quite like the beekeeping community. The bees truly are the conduit to the people!

Did the trailer tarp work for ya? Recommend pulling the spinners to almost touching the corner of the uncapper drain tank. Keeps more honey off the floor and lets the loader be only 1 person per side. Great season! Love it.
@brucesbees
@brucesbees 4 дня назад
Yeah the tarp worked well to keep the cappings off the trailer bed. I hear ya on the extractor locations but it just seems to work better this way. As people are always moving through the honey house. We are always trying to improve so thanks for the tip. I have thought doing something like that but if too close to the uncapper it would get too congested I think.🤔

First of all thanks for showing your process, this helps all of us in improving our process of getting the honey from the frame to buckets. I especially liked the way you filtered your honey, never seen that approach before. Question, did you have to clean those spider filters every so often? Were they able to keep up with 2 extractors? Also I have used the Simple Farms decapper, but found out it added too much time to my extractor trying to get honey out of those small slits and it seems I always leave some honey behind in the frames. Do you have any of those issues using that decapper on your deep frames? Again thanks for sharing, very much appreciated!!!!!
