Hi guys, into my second year of beekeeping, made nucs, and national hives from reclaimed timber. Looking now for a extractor project.
Has anyone on forum built one? I know hedgerow Pete had a YouTube vid up of a simple two frame plywood one into a large bucket. Looking a step beyond this. Have skills but out of work due to disability so looking to fabricate.
First thoughts were of food grade plastic bucket 25l+ and put a sealed bearing in bottom to hold spindle. Always work best if I've seen one or plans. Any you guys done it?
Would someone post some pics of the insides of their extractor? Esp bottom inside?
Thanks
