Hi Mr. "beeing"
 
I've been doing the bee thing for about 17 years. We run about 3,000 or
better in Michigan,USA. We are using a Cook & Beals horizontal extracting
system with the Bogey uncapper and conveyor system. Cappings are handled
with a heat exchanger and spin-float. The spin float is totally cool.
 
A note on the thread of honey house design. There was some discussion of
multiple stories and I can see the merit, but...I like the one level plan
for material handling. IMHO, the benefits outweigh the costs of pumps to
move the honey.
