I have only received two messages on my pleading for information on
what materiel that the law ( what number ? ) allows to be used in an
extractor.  I have only taken  " Bee Culture"  for about a year , but
go to a University library ofter and peruse the other periodicals.  I
have not seen any articles on this subject before.  If any of you can
give me some ref.  on the above subjects , I would appreciate it.
 
Could I please poll the bee list on what material their extractors
are made of.  The material that contacts the honey.
 
I have thought of having my extractor chromed by the local bumper
chrome company.  I thought of this because it is the chrome content
in stainless steel that gives it its corrosion resistance qualities.
 
My bee equipment supplier (stainless equiptment) told me that there
are a lot of bee keepers that are not using stainless.
 
Please help me make a decision.
