Hi Everybody,

I'm newly registered to the board but have been using it as a resource for a few years.

I have two hives and have been borrowing a friend's manual 6-frame extractor once per year. I'm getting to the point where I sometimes want to extract a couple of times in the summer and my friend lives a little ways away so it's hard to borrow his extractor more often (plus, he has lots of hives and I feel bad asking for it when he may need it).

Can you recommend a relatively inexpensive manual extractor for times when I may want to extract 6-10 frames or so? Also, my friend's extractor is on a stand where you can just fit the collection bucket under it. Do those small plastic extractors that you set on a table slide all around and miss the bucket?

Thanks so much,

Sue

One thing you might consider is to join the Wake County Beekeepers club and use some of their multiple extractors available for members' use.

You would get your honey extracted, plus also get to try out different extractors to help form an idea of what you might like to buy.

I am a member-- we probably know each other irl. I think the one we have might be a larger sized one.
