Do you ever inspect the entire hive? My first year I left everything for them in order to give them the best outcome possible. I am new to this and am a second year bee keeper. I bought my second set of bee's this year. They are doing fabulous and I have my third super on hive #1. Hive #2 I just put the 1st super on but they have plenty of capped honey in the 2nd brood box. I plan on getting more hives as well but am going to be purchasing a motorized honey extractor and have narrowed it down to 2 which is the Maxant Nine Frame Extractor POWER-9F or Bushy Mountain 9 Frame Power Radial Extractor w/German motor? How good are the electric de capping planers work? We are leaning toward the Maxant. Any info is greatly appreciated. Wendi
