Maybe it's the low light levels but that honey extraction facility looks a public health hazard

Sorry to say MOST EXTRACTOR ROOMS in small bee farms resemble THIS film then what you'll see with Sue-Bee and Others. This is a good reason we pasturise honey at a low hot temp to kill off anything that could be picked up.

I also think we caught then after already extracting that day - these guys live and eat bees. I was happy to get to film this footage, and I saw a few things I haven't seen before too.

how much per pound do you get for honey and wax?

I won't buy their honey! Where are the inspectors? You would be closed down here!

Good video. My dad runs a semi load between Wisconsin and Florida, so it was all pretty familiar to me :) Those extractors in the video are pretty old, but they're the good ones!

Wow! That's a cool video. More narration would be great - but it is what it is :) Great work and thanks for sharing

A good video that shows the basics of a major beekeeping operation...I love the uncapper with the two fifty-frame extractors. They must have over a thousand hives.

this would be good with a little narration and less heavy breathing by video operator ;)
