Is it important to heat frames before extraction?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Michael Bush:
113 is bad news for extracting... 90 would be about my max.  80 is about ideal.

marcos:
Would 75 be ok?

Acebird:
I think you will be OK in PA but you won't get as much out.

marcos:
What is an easy way to heat them up without having to buy a bunch of equipment.? The problem is I was planning on extracting this weekend but after the tropical storm either the temps here or in the 70s. I think on Monday it?s supposed to be 80. Would an 80 outdoor temperature be OK?

The15thMember:
I don't know about temperature for an extractor (I do crush and strain), but I just wanted to mention that if you are extracting outside, be sure that the bees don't have any way to get to the setup, or they will be all over the equipment and drowning in the honey.
