Honey extraction

[Smokeyred]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Will try to extract it before crystallization in 2014.

Dear Itma
I understand what you are saying. However what if the refractometer tells us that the water quantity is too high.....can the water in the honey be reduced in some way, or is it a case of scrapping it or feeding it back to the bees?

With a pennyworth of plastic pipette, you can sample from any uncapped honey cell(s). After you have measured a few with your refractometer, you can decide whether or not to remove the frame or box from the hive.
Measure before extraction!
