Extracting Honey – Part 1

Extracting Honey on 2/12/18

Today, I started the honey extraction process. There are a few tools and items you want to have on hand when you are doing this process:

• 8×10 Tarp (Camping Grade)
• 5 Gallon Bucket (food grade w/ cover)
• A Capping Knife or Tool
• A few pairs of Disposable Gloves
• A Honey Strainer or Mesh Bag
• A Spatula
• Newspaper, Plastic containers and other things to mitigate the mess.

Here is a link to a video that explains the steps I took to do this first extraction. I only did a few frames so, I will post additional updates on the process to share the efficiencies that I have found.

Just in case you missed it! Check out the Extraction Video
