what method of separation to obtain pure honey from beehive
Answers
Answer:
Removing Honey Supers
Honey supers should be removed from the hive as soon as the honey is sealed. Extraction soon after removal may prevent crystallization in the comb. It often is possible to reuse the super on the colony before the flow ceases.
For the small beekeeper, the simplest way to remove bees from the honey super is to brush them off each comb. Another method of removing bees from supers is to use an inner cover with a bee escape. The escape board, as it is called, is placed between the supers and the brood nest the day before the supers are to be removed. All other openings into the supers must be closed so that the bees cannot return. This method works best in cool weather when the bees move at night from the honeycombs to the brood nest.
A recent innovation for removing bees from supers of honey is to blow them out. A large vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool attachment works satisfactorily. The larger household tank-type vacuum cleaner can be used if the dust bag is removed. A velocity of about 18,000 feet per minute is required. There are now engine-driven blowers built especially for removing bees. This method does not irritate the bees and it is effective.
