I struggled last year with my small hand cranked honey extractor. It only took three frames at a time and took all day to do a relatively small number. Mind you, I ended up with muscles like Popeye.
As the number of hives has grown I'm now needing to do several hundred frames in a day. The only answer was to buy an electric extractor! This takes 20 frames at a time and because it is a radial one you don't have to stop and turn the frames half way through.
I used it for the first time in May with 200 early frames and wow what a difference!
