Hi Peter:

Canola honey is difficult to filter because the small growing crystals plug
up the holes in the filter. You get a sort of gel with honey, crystals and
wax chips. I imagine that this is the case with the spinner as well.

It is essential to extract Canola as soon as the frames show significant
capping. This results in high moisture honey. Our co-op has the ability to
deal with this but if you are selling privately, you will have to arrange
some sort of drying process.

I would feed sugar syrup in the fall and use the granulated frames in the
spring.

                                    Best regards
