Hello Paul & All,
Paul asked:
I am looking for plans to build a honey super warmer. I remember
seeing one referenced many years ago that was made out of an old 9
5/8's super and some light bulbs. Would appreciate a source for
this. Thanks
I believe the plans you are looking for were published in the November 1969
Gleanings in BEE Culture. Very simple to make and using a 40 watt bulb
raised the temp of the honey to 85 degrees F. throughout the stack. Higher
temps. were had using higher watt bulbs.
The American Bee Journal published an article about a "honey dryer" on the
same principal but used two Hot-watt aluminum sheath heaters in January of
1983.
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
