Fic. 30—A Honry Extractor 
The beekeeper will get his greatest yields by 
Honey extractor extracting his honey and replacing the empty 
frames in the super. This is the most economical 
way of producing honey, there being very little waste of beeswax and 
the time required of the bees in making the comb. A device for 
extracting honey is shown in the accompanying figure; it simply being 
an arrangement in which two frames of honey may be placed and 
revolved rapidly after the caps have been cut from the comb. This 
whirling, or centrifugal force, will completely throw the honey from 
the comb. By turning the frames, both sides may be completely ex- 
tracted. There are extractors made which are reversible and do not 
require the removal of the frame until both sides are extracted. Honey 
extractors are inexpensive and the extra honey produced will soon 
pay for the equipment. ;
