This kit is perfect if you want to start harvesting honey without investing in large-scale equipment. All components are durable, easy to use, and designed for NZ beekeepers managing small hives. It’s a cost-effective way to get started and enjoy your first honey harvest quickly.

Use the uncapping fork to uncap the cells or try using the uncapping knife after heating it up in boiling water.

Once uncapped, lie the frame face down on a rack over a clean food tray to allow the honey come out of the cells. Using a little bit of gentle heat will make the honey come out faster.

Store the honey in the pail with the honey gate. Once it is full or you have completed extraction let it out through the honey gate into the other drum while filtering it with the honey strainer.

Once the pail with the honey gate is completely emptied and cleaned out, put the filtered honey back in it. Then using the honey gate, pottle your honey!

Ensure wherever you do this, it is bee proof!

General guide to honey extraction.

1. View video here. 
2. Ensure honey in the frames is warm enough. Straight off the hive is usually okay if the weather is not too cold and the bees have been brushed or blown off the frames. Otherwise, leave in a small warm room at around 28 degrees C for 48 hours.
3. Clean equipment before use.
4. Uncap frames as shown in video.
5. Use frames of similar weight on opposite sides to reduce vibrations.
6. Run extractor at about half speed to get half the honey out of the first side. If the frames have wax foundation and you go too fast, the weight of the honey on opposite side will damage the comb.
7. Turn frames around and spin honey from other side. Depending on honey type and temperature, one pass may be enough on second side or it may need to be done with 2 passes. 2^nd pass can be faster than the first.
8. Shift frames back to first side and extract remaining honey with a slightly faster speed.
9. Let the honey flow out of the extractor through a stainless steel double strainer and into food grade honey pails with honey gates at the bottom.
10. Leave the honey pail in warm place for 2 days to allow any wax residues and air bubbles to go to the top.
11. Then you can decant beautiful pure honey out of the honey gate at the bottom into polyjars, or similar.
12. The wax cappings can be left to drain over a grid like a stainless steel queen excluder. (Leave in a warm place to allow maximum honey to drain from the wax.)
13. The drained honey can be poured through a honey strainer. (Repeat steps 9 – 11.)

Our first radial extractor makes honey extraction easier and less tiring.

Radial extractors make extraction easier because they extract both sides of the frame at the same time. There is no need to turn the frames around during extraction. Radial extraction can take a little longer than tangential extraction, but it is generally easier and more convenient to use.

A simple speed controller gives you accurate control over the extraction speed and helps keep the process smooth and consistent.

The machine is made from 304 grade stainless steel and has clear lids.

Approx. dimensions when assembled: 700W x 700L x 1200H

The distance from the honey gate to the floor when the legs are fitted is 320mm.

2. Ensure the honey in the frames is warm enough. Frames straight off the hive are usually fine if the weather is not too cold and the bees have been brushed or blown off. Otherwise, leave the frames in a small warm room at around 28°C for 48 hours before extraction.
3. Clean all equipment before use.
4. Uncap the frames as shown in the video.
5. Load the frames evenly around the extractor. Try to use frames of similar weight opposite each other to reduce vibration and keep the extractor balanced.
6. For best results, load the frames with the top bars facing the outside wall of the extractor and the bottom bars toward the centre. This helps the extractor work with the natural slight upward slope of the honeycomb cells, allowing honey to extract from both sides of the frame at the same time.
7. Start the extractor slowly. This is especially important with wax foundation or new comb, as going too fast too soon can damage the comb.
8. Once some of the honey has been removed and the frames are lighter, gradually increase the speed. Depending on the honey type, temperature and thickness, you may need to run the extractor for longer to remove as much honey as possible.
9. Avoid sudden starts, stops or high speed when the frames are still full, as this can cause vibration and may damage the comb.
10. Let the honey flow out of the extractor through a stainless steel double strainer and into food-grade honey pails with honey gates at the bottom.
11. Leave the honey pail in a warm place for around 2 days to allow any wax residue and air bubbles to rise to the top.
12. Once settled, decant the clean honey from the honey gate at the bottom into poly jars or similar containers.
13. The wax cappings can be left to drain over a grid, such as a stainless steel queen excluder. Leave them in a warm place to allow as much honey as possible to drain from the wax.
14. The drained honey from the cappings can then be poured through a honey strainer and added to the settling pail.
