Processing heather honey

[gwizzie]

Hi everyone after reading this thread it has got me thinking (that gave me a sore head)
Am I correct in thinking that you would use wired foundation and then use the Smith cutter/scraper to remove the honey from the frames and leaving the foundation for reusing again next year? If my thinking is correct I could use a mixture of wired and unwired and save some money ?

Yes, that's right and if I remember correctly,C4U mentioned that he uses wired foundation at the heather- you could use a Smith cutter as I do, its convenient, but check previous posts C4U can optimise yield by extracting and leaving drawn comb for the following year. He will have access to a bit more kit so to go the Smith cutter and honey press route might be most simple.
