Honey processing in Kenya using 3 frame centrifuge honey extract

How to extract honey from Langstroth Beehives?

There are three ways of extracting honey:

1. crushing the combs (wax press)
2. uncapping the cells and letting the honey slowly drip out
3. Using a honey extractor. It basically does the same thing as the second method, only way faster and way more efficient. A honey extractor is a great way to get the honey from a Langstroth hive

It works by placing a full frame into the extractor and spinning it using a crank (or a motor if you opt for a the electrical). Centrifugal force “sucks” the honey out of the combs

Client onsite at the farm with a new Kenyan Bee farmer. After harvesting honey decided to process immediately. Luckily all equipment was already available.
