Thanks for a great video stu , could you show some of the heather honey extracting. All this set a side is a god send to the bees, it would be helpful if you stated what date of the month you are doing things . Hope you had good sales at the festival.
Hi 👋. Yes I’ll try and get it recorded to show at some point. My content is usually a week behind when I upload it but I’ll keep it in mind to state when I’m recording 😁
I built it from a refrigerated truck body/container. The idea is once we out grow it (soon) we can then sell it on as a ready to go self contained extraction unit.
Hi, yes it’s a Honda 1” 4 stroke. To be totally honest it is amazing for the feeding of the syrup but it does struggle a little bit with the mixing, especially when adding the granular sugar. I’m looking to get myself a 4” pump for the mixing in future.

Nice honey extracting room. Did you build it, or did you get it pre-built?

@SimplyBeeutifulHoney I'm impressed. Great initiative. I'm some way off that scale, yet. I hope you'll have plenty of keen potential buyers.
Great vid thx Stu… where do you buy your honey buckets from please?
Hi pal. buybuckets.co.uk are reasonably priced if you’re buying a few. 👍
Are going to the honey show this year?
Hi 👋. Yes I will be there Friday and Saturday. I’ll either be on the techtron uk stand or you will find me mooching around 😁
Could I ask which pump you're using for the mixing - nice setup

I thought you’d be feeding 2:1 rather than 1:1?
I will be on the next round.
I’d like some of our nucs to be a little bigger and without plugging out the brood nest.
