Extractor

This is a honey extractor made, so that if any frames are to hard to spin off, as i read that you can modify a fridge but trying wood, basically stick frames on rack and turn light on, then slide the front bit in to close, but add a tray in bottom to catch honey. I am not saying if its going to be successful, but being semi-retired i got time and thinking cap on he he he.

Bee Treatment

Went to the Hives today to give oxalic treatment, all went well as its first time i have used this method. All hives look great they have nice clusters on 5-6 frames, the weather was quite warm and i was surprised after opening the hives how calm they all were. Another learning curve given by Mike of lincsbees.
