I have only received two messages on my pleading for information on
what materiel that the law ( what number ? ) allows to be used in an
extractor. I have only taken " Bee Culture" for about a year , but
go to a University library ofter and peruse the other periodicals. I
have not seen any articles on this subject before. If any of you can
give me some ref. on the above subjects , I would appreciate it.
Could I please poll the bee list on what material their extractors
are made of. The material that contacts the honey.
I have thought of having my extractor chromed by the local bumper
chrome company. I thought of this because it is the chrome content
in stainless steel that gives it its corrosion resistance qualities.
My bee equipment supplier (stainless equiptment) told me that there
are a lot of bee keepers that are not using stainless.
Please help me make a decision.
