Memory Lane, 20th June 2023: Extracting brood frames

I’ve been wondering if I could extract honey from brood frames with my existing extractor and without buying any extra (and expensive) parts. I reckon it might be possible. Only three at a time, but then with screens I’d only be able to do three at a time as well. And I’d have to turn them around to extract each side.

Why do I want to extract brood frames? Well, if I’m using a Demaree as a swarm control method, I may well end up with more than I need to feed nucs and suchlike, so extracting them seems sensible.
