Just starting my 2nd year (thankfully hive overwintered ok) as a new beek and thinking about honey harvesting equipment. I'm only likely to get up to 3 or 4 hives as it's a back garden hobby and wanted some advice please.
Uncapping knife - serated but not electric as more likely to burn honey?
Extractor tank - seen a good home made one with storage box, wire cake tray and mesh that I will build.
Extractor - 3 or 4 frame manual on market from £60-£300+. Seen one online (Kwasyo) for £150, but hard to tell if it's much better than lowest £ or worse than highest £? They all look the same.
Strainers - double stainless steel rather than plastic.
Settling/storage tank - 10l-25l. I'm in an urban area (parks and gardens nearby) so unsure how much honey I might get, but don't want to be extracting for days on end so was thinking one 25l.
Any views or top tips would be very welcome. I've read alot about flames here so would rather not have so much of that
