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
