If you are looking for a good product ( maybe export) you must do the 
extracting in central place, not by idividual beekeepers. They don't have 
the places or means for extracting or clean buckets for honey storage.

If they produce with top bar they should sell the capped frames to collector 
and extract the uncapped for their own use or sale in local village.

The best way to work 50 tons of thb- honey would be a mixer that beaks the 
combs and wax separator. But hydraulic press is most likely more economic.

This way you get the wax too and in large amounts enough that it can be sold 
easily.
