Now's your opportunity to get that 60 framer that we all dream of..."But Honey, you said I could get one...!"

Oooooooooh no!  Just go with the Brushy Mountain 9 frame with the honey tank.  That honey tank is awfully handy for Strawberry wine.  I used the holding tank for mead and wine making.  It's proved to be a lot more fun than all that Jam I used to freeze.  Plus,  the procedes the extra tank usage makes honey extracting seem to just fly by!   :-D

It won't be any less messy, but if it makes her happy... I'd get a minimum of an 18 frame.  I'd get a maximum of a 20.  Either will fit through your kitchen door.

I wouldn't waste my money on anythng less than an 18 frame.  Actually I didn't.  I waited 28 years to buy an extractor and I bought the 18 frame motorized and have never regreted the choice to wait nor the choice to get one big enough to be useful.

Even if you do opt for a smaller one (I have a 6-frame - teeny tiny for most of these folks), please get a motor, you will be so glad you did!

yeah as far as the motor goes, I want one but I will wait till I make some $$ from the honey then get the motor to put it on....

@ Michael How many Hives do you have man? If I bought that 28 frame one :
       First I would be divorced...
       and B I only have three hives, I dont even know if I will get 28 frames LOL.... would be cool though

Did she also let you peek at your missing............."family jewels".  Sounds like she got control of them. I had to read that twice, actually amazed that some guy needed permission from the wife to..........

Definitely get a motorized one and at least 9 frames!!! I got a 4 frame manual extractor. The thing will have you sweating and sore with only a few supers!!! The honey tank would be awesome as well!! I have to get a bigger one soon!!

Don't do it it's a trap!  Of course if the money is there i don't say anything about her buying stuff and she doesn't say anything to me.

Do you have to tell your wife when you buy something big?

Post by: joebrown on May 19, 2011, 11:53:34 PM
My money is my money and hers is hers! I do not question her and she does not question me. I pay my bills and she pays hers! We love it that way!!
