You can also, by using a high honey room temperature and making sure the
frames are also up to temperature, uncap the combs and agitate the honey
- set the extractor on full throttle and get it all out with no
problems. Thereby avoiding the messy, time consuming pressing process,
saving the bees the hard work of building new comb and raising your
yearly honey yield.
The frames may be accelerating towards the centre but the honey being
unconstrained and now of much lower viscosity travels outwards and is
collected!
