Our services include: 

  • Extracting (Export RMP certified facility) 

  • Blending

  • Creaming

  • Packing  into Jars, Buckets and Drums — we can supply jars but if you have your own, please  let us know. 

  • Wax Processing by spinning

  • Filtering from 400um to 200um

​

The Process: 

  • The process starts with the super being placed in the hot room for 2 to 3 days; this allows the super to warm up to 34 degrees. 

  • Next, the frames are placed in the un-capper, where the wax is cut off and processed through the new wax press. 

  • The wax is stored and returned to the Beekeeper. 

  • From the un-capper, the frame is processed with the Picker; this loosens the honey pre-spinning. 

  • From the Spinner, the honey flows to the Wax spinner, where the remaining wax is removed. 

  • The final process is to filter the honey; the first filter is a 400um, then to our new 200 um filter. 

  • The final step is the blending to ensure the taste and colour is consistent.

​

We welcome the opportunity to meet with other beekepers and build our network. It is from the sharing of knowledge that we can all become better at what we do.
