Extracting Honey

Here we are using a simple two frame tangential crank extractor. It will take deep, medium, and shallow frames. I can see the value in a radial extractor. You do not need to remove the frames to do each side and there is less stress on the wax comb, which we want to save and reuse. As one side's honey is slung out the weight of the other side (regardless of how many wires you run wants to tear out. So a certain level of patience and observation/skill is necessary.
