Honey: Extracted from Sealed Combs (A B C of Bee Culture, 1910)

Extracted honey the way Root's 1910 bee encyclopedia teaches a small keeper: take the sealed combs from a movable-frame hive, shake and brush off the bees, slice off the cappings, and spin the honey out in a two-frame reversible extractor; strain it through cheese-cloth into a pail and pour it into kegs or cans. The combs go back to the bees empty, to be filled again. Source: A. I. and E. R. Root, The A B C and X Y Z of Bee Culture (1910), pp. 173-188. Picture: the book's photo of an extractor raised on a hive-body over a pail.

Imiyalelo

1

Wait for sealed combs

Leave the honey in the hive until the combs are nicely sealed over, as they should be before extracting. Give the bees plenty of empty combs; if a second story is not room enough, add a third.

Take off the combs

Open the hive, pull out one comb and shake it hard in front of the entrance. Hold it by one corner and brush the remaining bees off one side and then the other with a bee brush. Put the frame in an empty super on a cart or barrow. Shake the next combs inside the hive instead of in front of it, brush them the same way, and wheel the full supers to the extracting room.

Set up the extractor

Stand the extractor on a box or hive-body about as large as the bottom of the can and about as high as a water pail, so the honey-gate empties into a common pail. Anchor both box and extractor securely.

Uncap the combs

Keep the knife keen and sharpen it often. Rest the end of the comb on a nail point over the uncapping can, lean it forward, and cut off the cappings with a sawing movement starting at the bottom edge. When wax and honey clog the blade, scrape it on a wooden edge. Do both sides.

Extract

Put the uncapped combs in the wire-cloth pockets and turn the crank; one turn of the handle gives two or three turns of the baskets. When one side is extracted, slow up, catch the edge of each pocket with the left hand and swing it on its hinges to bring the other side out, then turn again.

Strain and store

Tie a cheese-cloth sack to the honey-gate as a strainer. Draw the honey off pailful after pailful into an open pail, where you can see its quality and any dead bees, and pour it into kegs, square cans or any large vat.
