Extract your own honey today!

This is the perfect way to get started extracting small amounts of honey.

It has all you need to do it in a basic way.

The kit includes:

1x 20l (30kg) Polypail with lid

1x 20l (30kg) Polypail with lid and Honey gate fitted.

1 x Uncapping fork

1 x Manual uncapping knife

1 x Stainless steel honey strainer

10 x 500g Honey Pottles



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!

Manual 2 frame honey extractor, fits 3/4 depth frames and full depth frames.

Extract your own frames this season! 

Excellent value for money. 

65cm high and 40cm wide plus an extra 15cm if you include the handle.

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.)
