As a practical alternative, ease and simplicity are suggested by the down to Earth honey farmer who vends Bay Area honey wares at two of the area’s best farmers’ markets twice a week, meaning a minimum 100 extractions per year, every year, for several decades. See the extractor that has spun a million dollars worth of honey, see how easily it can clean up when finished with the spinning, how rapidly the honey filters into a bottling bucket producing crystal clear honey, then swiftly, accurately, and painlessly filling beautiful hex honey jars without a stray drop of honey escaping. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This humble honey farmer typically <span style="font-size:inherit">pulls a medium honey super in the afternoon before market, spins the honey at 6am the morning of the market, filters the spun bucket of truly artisan one-of-a-kind honey directly into the bottling bucket while setting up for morning’s market, s/he fills the jars as they are purchased, typically selling out before the end of every market. Like all those who vend at the farmers’ market, this farmer has to get up early, and it’s rain or shine every weekend of the year - EVERY WEEKEND OF THE YEAR! No nightlife 🙁.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit"><br></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit">Join us for this enchanted evening of honey production, as cleanly and as efficiently as it’s able to be achieved. From box of frames to a case of honey before your very eyes, all in just over an hour! It’s like magic, and you’ll be able to do it at home after seeing this demo. Honey 101 in one quick evening!
