Okay not quite but if you were able to buy any extractor which would you recommend for a group of new beeks that hopefully have access to some funding and would like to buy a "community" extractor.
The requirements are that it should be:
1. easy to use
2. take majority of frames (incl 14 x12)
3. be robust enough for multiple use by different users (prob extracting 2-4 hives worth of honey at a time)
4. mobile ish (maximum 2 people to move)
5. be easy to clean and require low maintainance (annual service only!)
6. anything else we've forgotten thats essential
What would you choose if a) budget was not a problem - delux version or b) limited budget-value end of market?
Cheers
