    But not the bruising associated with the glancing contact of a frying pan and the back of my head ... an inevitable consequence of the carpet-related escape of a few litres of honey.

    Some folk swear by bee-sting therapy. Or you could have tried a honey poultice!

    The sting from a le creuset is to be feared by the beekeeper

    le creuset? there's posh! A better class of 'beump' on the head [why do I now have the Pink Panther theme running round what passes for my brain?]

    Oh, I do love this forum, in which a perfectly normal discussion about extractors wanders off into nonsense!

    Perhaps, however, we'd better return to the matter in hand? Comments re extractors ...?

    Nonsense??? yooou cheeekeey minky

    Get one with a motor and which is made of stainless steel and radial

    Sorry Trog of topic again
    This extractor looks fairly solid

    This one is twice the price but motor driven and 6 frame

    DR they're both tangential ... I'm with you in post #15 ... stainless steel, radial and motorised. I'd also add 9 frame. Unless the OP has no plans of scaling up to >4 hives. Like I didn't

    Has the OP disappeared? This isn't like that waspkeeping thread is it? We're awash with jaspers here so whoever perfected the art of queen wasp raising ought to be ashamed of themselves.

    There was another called 'Triangle' about a ferry which travelled between 3 North Sea ports which was actually worse than crossroads or El Dorado.
    We used to watch it when we were students to great mirth.

    Honey poultice made from the sticky carpet, to deal with the le creuset bruises? Didn't think of that.

    I've got a 4 frame manual tangential extractor. I could hire a motorised radial from the association, but it's always in use when I need it and it's stored miles away so takes a couple of hours to collect. I'll eventually sell the manual one on and replace with a motorised one - but in the meantime I'm exercising my biceps, cheaper than a gym!
