Curious about the extraction process? Check out Jill's Happy Bees new-to-us set up!! Frames from the honey super (box) go to the chain uncapper to the uncapping tank to 2 20 frame extractors, to a clarifying tank (which helps settle wax to the top to separate). The honey is then pumped up to a filter which then gets bucketed to be bottled. The wax gets strained off the top, before the filter, into a wax spinner where the rest of the honey gets spun out and wax rendered. Total harvested in 2025 was 2200 pounds of honey 🍯 🐝! Those are some happy bees and a couple of happy beekeepers! Prayers for bees surviving this winter 🙏💪🐝
