Thanx Erik,

I really appreciate the link to a new source of bee stuff and info.

It never occurred to me that something as simple as a cider press would work
well for honey extraction. My son would say, "Well, duh!" My only
reservations would relate to cost and difficulty of clean-up. The prices
Swienty lists are in Euros and I have no concept of how that relates to
dollars US. This type of product is also available in the Lehman catalog I
previously adverted to, again I don't know how their prices compare. As to
clean up, I suppose that it could just be set out to let the bees clean most
of it up (wouldn't instigate robbing if placed away from the hives, I should
think), followed with a good hosing down. But the boards and jack still
look less spendy and easier to clean.
