Now we have neat and inexpensive machines which do their work well and rapidly, but honey consumers generally have no idea how it is accom- plished, and some "old fogy" bee-keepers, as well as novices, still ask how rit is done. Extracted honey is obtained by the combs being uncapped and placed in the basket or frame-holder of a honey-extractor (Fig. 37), which being attached to a single rod in a large can and revolved, the centrifugal force throws out the pure honey from the combs, which runs down the sides of the can and is drawn off and placed in jars or some other desirable recep- tacle. Extracted honey is the pure liquid—minus the comb. The essential points in a good honey-extractor are: One that can be easily taken to pieces and cleaned; one that the shaft.

Since the combs must be turned over after extracting the honey on one side, in order to get it from both sides, extrac- tors have been invented which reverse their baskets auto- matically while in motion. Such an extractor is shown an Fig. 38. As the speed is arrested after extracting one side of the combs, the baskets.
