- sadly, no more!
Being an optimist, my mind is turning towards the purchase of an extractor. Not being a starry-eyed optimist, I am not anticipating having to extract thousands of gallons from my two hives. Being firmly under the scrutiny of the domestic goddess who doubles as my Chancellor of the Exchequer, I am restricted to as inexpensive a machine as I can reasonably expect to do the job.
I have looked at the Thornes Tabletop (but have heard mixed reports of it)
I have looked at Swienty's 2-frame economy radial extractor
I have looked at Park's 3 frame tangential and 4 frame radial, and
I have looked at Beechwood's 3 frame tangential - which is easily the cheapest.
I have also looked at the previous entries on this forum for help. I am now completely confused, and don't know which way to go. Or even if I ought to be looking further afield!
Can anyone take pity on a sad dead old diplomat, and offer some (polite) advice?
