I have an electric extractor also very similar to the one you have. That will make your life so much easier. Thanks!

[@carltonstewart8504]

Sounds like a very powerful machine keep it up

[@OldReddingFarm]

Thats a very cool piece of equipment !!

[@MikeBarryBees]

You’ll enjoy having that setup. They’ve come a long way from when they first hit the market.

[@redzwashere]

Thanks Mike. Hoping that as I grow so will the equipments.

[@KayiFarmJaHoneyBees]

Love the extractor DB! especially how quiet it is.

[@redzwashere]

That was very surprising for me too Sheldon. I plan on putting her to work soon

[@dgoodhoney3000]

Sir do, that extractor will speed up the process for you when you have to cycle the wet supers, after some time has passed I can see your expansion will exceed that extractor. I had that same experience with importing and decided to go for the 36 frame radial, never the less you will njoying the upcoming season and the surplus honey you'll extract good luck to you, and thanks for letting me see your progress 🚧 👍 😁 👋.

[@redzwashere]

Thanks a lot Hans, I see myself out growing this extractor too but for now it will do. I have decided that going forward I will grow the bees and then grow the business so any big purchases will be funds made from the bees and not my own income.

I’m a local starter bee keeper...

How much is the cost for u to build a brood box, a queen excluder, 2 super boxes and top cover? Also loving your content man, lots of tips for starters like me...

[@redzwashere]

Hi thanks for the comment. I know that standard pricing for a complete box (bottom board, have body, 10 frames and cover) would be 5500 or 6000. For a super that runs about 1400- 1500 per super. A queen excluder is about 2500 (metal). For for these cost will add up depending on the amount of hives you plan on having. Due to the high cost for equipment i just build my own. Hope that helped

[@vigab9601]

What are your main nectar sources?

[@redzwashere]

Hi. Coral vine, ackee, other flowering plants.

[@Inrussian]

Have u done any more research? Too many options. I’m not trying to buy the cheapest one, but I think I might get the vevor 3/6 frame electric extractor, I don’t think I will mind flipping the frames, for 10-15 fives I think it will just fine and I don’t have to do it all at once. I can always sell it back and pretty much get my money back. It’s only $215 for 3/6, the 4 frame is $340 I’m not sure if it’s going to make much difference to buy the 4 frame. One guy on Facebook got the 2/4 frame used it once and reselling it of $10 cheaper then a new one

[@redzwashere]

Hi, for the most part this was purchased with the intention of growing. I'm currently at 30-40 hives and you will find that it becomes too time consuming the more hives you have. If you're only keeping a few hives the manual one is more suitable.

[@Inrussian]

I plan to have between 10 and 15 max Do you think the 3/6 frame electric vevor one is good enough?

[@redzwashere]

I think that's great for that many hives

[@Inrussian]

Where did u get food grade grease

[@redzwashere]

I just purchased one on Amazon.
