See how the honey gets from the hive to the bottle...

1. Wooden frames where bees store honey in cells are removed from the hive, and the wax "caps" are sliced away from the cells full of honey.


2. The cap of wax covering the cells is sliced completely away. 


3. The honey-filled frames are placed in the extractor, which will spin, sending the honey to the outside edges of the stainless steel bin.


4. Multiple frames are inserted into the extractor. 


5. After the honey has been spun, it is strained. 


6. The strained honey is poured into buckets where it is covered and sits for 24 hours, so the wax will rise to the top, where it can then be removed from the honey. 


7. The last step - bottling!
