Many years ago (about 15+) I got a call from Organic farming and 
Gardening. I was the State point of contact for beekeeping and they were 
going to have an article on it in their mag.

I did not have an extractor and came up with the idea to strain crushed 
honeycomb through my wife's old panty hose. Added the comb to the hose 
starting at the foot, squeezed it to "extract" the honey and let it 
drain dry. Worked great. I described my method and they included that in 
the article. Wife is still not too happy every time I mention that her 
old panty hose was memorialized in a national magazine.

I strongly recommended that you do this alone since friends may wonder 
just what your problem is, squeezing panty hose. It also might confirm 
their suspicions.
