Manual 20-Frame Honey Extractor- R6500

Our view is you should only invest in an extractor if you have more than 20 bee hives which are established!

Beekeeping can make you some serious income if you are prepared to put some effort into the project.

However, it is only worthwhile investing capital into a Honey Extractor if you have at least 20 - 30 hives that are producing honey with an average of around 15Kg each at the same time.

This Honey extractor is designed to accommodate 20 super frames full of honey after uncapping. The base holds up to 32Kg of settled and extracted raw honey before you need to open the honey gate tap and empty the unit.

Get involved with keeping bees with the most focus directed at purchasing bee hives and trap boxes. The more productive honeybee colonies you have the more raw honey you harvest.

For every productive mature bee hive you have you should harvest an average of 15Kg after a nectar flow. You can chase nectar flows across the provinces and achieve multiple nectar flow harvests.

Nonetheless, at an average wholesale price of R30/kg of raw filtered honey it would take you 200Kg of wholesale units to reach the critical point at which your honey extractor would be paid for in honey harvesting.

This translates into a minimum of 14 bee hive's entire harvest funding the cost of the honey extractor. [200kg / 15Kg per box = 13.333]
