A honey extractor is a device used by beekeepers to extract honey from honeycombs without destroying the comb. It typically consists of a cylindrical drum that spins, using centrifugal force to fling honey out of the frames. This method allows beekeepers to harvest honey while preserving the comb for future use by the bees. Honey extractors can be manual or electric, with electric models offering faster extraction. They are essential tools for those involved in apiculture, the practice of keeping bees for honey production. Proper use of a honey extractor ensures efficient harvesting and supports the health of the bee colony.
