Hi thanks for reading my post.
So i have just recieved my little 2 frame extractor which came with 3 x 15lb buckets and a 30lb bucket with honey valve as well as a double strainer.
I,m a bit confuzzled as to why only the bigger bucket has a valve.
Do i extract the honey into the smaller buckets to allow it to settle then pour into the bigget bucket via the strainer and then after settling again drain into jars.
or are the smaller buckets for storage semi long term which are then poured into the bigger one for putting into jars.
thanks
Phill
