I'm glad you're enjoying the blog...Hi Sue. I'm glad you're enjoying the blog.<br /><br />Re extractors I suggest 3 things: Go bigger than you need right now, go with power and not manual, and go with a radial one so the frames don't have to be flipped.<br /><br />You can read a blog article at: http://thebeejournal.blogspot.ca/2010/06/honey-extractors-which-one-to-get.html with details on extractors.<br /><br />If you want to save money and not get one yet there are probably local beekeepers that would let you rent theirs.<br /><br />Both Maxant and Dadant are well respected companies.Bee Magic Chronicles for Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818365668819339658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637106756798831463.post-5617088089003490742012-06-17T18:53:33.371-04:002012-06-17T18:53:33.371-04:00I love your blog.
