Looking optimistically forward to extracting season, I have considered proposing to my local bee club that we purchase a co-op extractor. We have about 75 member beekeepers of all skill levels and sizes of operation. (There may be some that have large extractors that they will rent time on, but I'm not sure and will ask.) I wondered what creative ways other smaller volumn beekeepers have used to get access to extractors, without having to purchase one of their own. Our club has purchased Apistan and other supplies as a group, but never a jointly owned piece of equipment. I would like to be able to offer some of your suggestions along with any options that I can come up with. Thanks - Susan Adams
