An extractor to share would be great! I have access to 2 extractors, but many people do not. People can
get together- 2 or 3 and share the work--it takes an afternoon to extract 10 t0 12 frames worth and makes
a big sticky mess, but it is well worth sharing. I only take honey from my 1 hive once (1 week ago). The rest
I leave for the winter.
Do you need to know the brand and model you wish to buy beforehand?

Hi,

I don't need to know the brand ahead of time- just starting to do some research

I need an extractor to help a two VV members extract honey from 3 large hives (over 40 frames).  

This is a very big job, "helped" only by the fact that several months ago the deep cold spell wiped out all 3 hives.  I have checked two of the hives and the frames are heavy with honey and free of noticeable pests.  

I could also use some help in exchange for a large share of the honey.  

The hives are on two neighbouring properties in Point Grey.
