HI ALL,
Just thought I would pass on an idea that may or may not work-I haven't
extracted yet.

I bought a tray to set my washing machine in that stops flooding in case of
leak.  It comes without the hole for the drain open, left for the purchaser
to complete the assembly.  Looking at it I was thinking what a good place to
put supers awaiting extraction.  It is made of heavy plastic and, although I
haven't measured, I think it will hold 3 or 4 stacks of supers. Wet supers,
after extracting, can be placed back on the tray until moved back to the
hive for clean-up as well as the bucket under the extractor that has on
occasion gotten too full.  It would also fit in the back of a pick-up for
removing supers from hives.  All of the honey will drip into the tray and
none on the floor or truck bed.  Since I extract in the house, this is a
good thing.  They are relatively inexpensive-$18.99 at Home-Depot.  They
appear to be durable and would last for several seasons if taken care of.
Just hose it off and stash for next year!

Just a thought.  I am going to buy another one to use while extracting.  I
will pass on the results.
