Small-scale beekeepers often use a hand-cranked centrifuge to harvest honey. This two-frame extractor is a near-antique built by A.I. Root, one of the oldest bee supply companies in the United States.
Honey pours from an extractor into a strainer to remove bits of excess wax.
The last stage of the harvest: a beekeeper pours her hard-earned strained honey into jars- ready to serve!
