The new honey extractor is in and it did a great job of spinning some beautiful honey out for us! The guys had to hold on to it while it spun since we did not have it bolted to the floor yet.
A close up of the honey pouring out!
We ended up with lots of wax mixed with honey when removing the cappings on each frame. This photo is of the cappings going through the strainer. We wanted to save the was to use for products like candles and lip balm.
We tried melting the honey/wax in this big pan in the oven. As soon as the honey was warm we would pour it through the strainer and then put the pan back into the oven to melt some more.
After LOTS of melting and straining we ended up with this beautiful block of wax!
After a long day of honey madness we ended with a delicious taste of our hard work on some fluffy biscuits!
There is still some honey for sale, prices are on our For Sale page.
