Joe asks: I'll need a pump to move syrup. What makes a honey/syrup pump good for that task? A progressing cavity pump will handle the task for sure ($2,360 U.S. Dadant 2003 catalog pg. 48). Many small pumps will work *if* the honey is fairly warm. If you pump really cold syrup with a small pump (Kelley) and a big horsepower motor (3-5 Hp gasoline) you will smell the belts burning up. Once glazed they need replacing. I never tried a water pump and have never seen one used. Maybe others will comment on their use.
