I used to use a standard 1 1/4" honey pump. I filled the suction hose with
honey using a pitcher, stuck the end in the barrel, and pump away. Now, I
use a shop crane (engine hoist) and cradle...lift the barrel, and dump the
honey into my extractor, and let it go through the sumps as if I was
extracting. Winds up in bottling tank after going through a filter or
strainer. Use a cover on the barrel with a bung hole, and 2" molasses gate.
I do a few hundred thousand pounds a year like this with no mess.
