It will be interesting so see how many people use the different methods of extracting their honey.

If you select other, please describe your technique.

Thanks for participating.

I chose other because I do mostly chunk honey.  Cut comb with extracted liquid.

I have a Kelly 20 frame extractor, still dont have a automatic uncapper yet, I do prefer extracting and storing supers with drawn comb to get a bigger yield the following year. I am still wanting this setup so much I can taste it, maybe one day  Wink
