Hello,
I saw a cappings bag listed in the Brushy cataloge and was wondering how they work in a radial frame type extractor? Also saw a Stainless cappings basket and was wondering how effective these would be for someone who has less than 15 hives (trying to justify expensise / time). I've been letting the bees clean up the cappings but would like to find a better way to utilize these honey-soaked cappings as I hope to expand into top bar colonies (for additional wax & chunk comb honey). I was hoping to better utilize my new 18 frame radial extractor (from Brushy Mtn) but have little experience in this.
