Anyone build any honey extracting equipment?

admin

My wife has been doing her extracting at a friend's place, but it is time to start getting our own equipment together.  The goal is to have 300 hives next year.  I would like to build it so we can set it up and take it down after extracting.  If we can get ahead, then we would build a permanent honey house and commercial kitchen.I am thinking of starting with two settleling tanks and maybe a sump tank.  This would be done out of stainless.Thanks
Reply:So a machine would pump the honey out of the hives themselves?
Reply:Are you going to have government supers or regular supers how many frames do you want to run at once in the extractorall modern honey processing tanks are stainless so are the frame racks for easy cleaningMiller Honey Company were people i did a lot of business with when i had apiaries ...hivesAnother beekeeping supply co.www.millerbeesupply.com/catalog/i don't know where you are locatedBee stings are not like snake bites with bees you get more sensitive to the sting and some people get stronger reactions faster than others My father was one of those so i had to sell my hives and equipmentLast edited by killdozerd11; 07-22-2013 at 12:54 AM.Backed my CATMA over your CARMA oops clusmy me  What would SATAN do ??

Reply:We used to raise and sell hives, bees and queens.  There is a company in Clarkson KY that sells bee keeping equipment probably much cheaper than you can build yourself.  I bought 25 wild hives. I was stung so many times while repairing and refurbishing the old hives that I am now sensitized to bee stings.  I sold everything to other local beekeepers."G"ConductorX - The Volkswright Shophttp://volkswright.blogspot.com/http://bugwerks.blogspot.com/Miller DVI w/Spoolgun - Miller Plasma Cutter
