1. You will remove each frame of the capped honey one by one from the super.
2. Use a bee brush to gently remove any bee might be on the frame. Be careful not to harm them or accidentally step on them.
3. Use a hot knife, or a hot air gun remove the caps of the wax cells.
4. You will then place the frames vertically into the drum of the extractor, inside the metal holdings.
5. Once the frames are in their right positions inside the extractor, you can then turn on the device if it’s an electric extractor, or start spinning it with your hands if it’s a manual one. As the frames are spun observe that the speed is good because extreme centrifugal force usually spoils the delicate wax comb. You can spin the frames in one direction for about five to six minutes, then reserve the direction of spinning. In another five to six minutes the combs should be empty and the frames returned to the shallow super.
6. As the process continues the drum of the extractor will get filled with honey so it will be better to open the gate valve at the bottom part to release the honey. When the drum is filled with honey it makes spinning of the frames cumbersome.
7. You can use a bucket to tap the honey from the honey extractor drum. You can then fill any jars that you may have prepared to keep your harvested honey in.
