We got it all done in just two spins, leaving plenty of time to drink espresso. It was a deep brown color, with notes of toffee and marshmallow.Ī 28-frame spinner is a bit big for my needs, but more room means my beekeeper friends will extract with me. We extracted two 5-gallon buckets of winter honey from our gardens in San Francisco. Aaron was given the honor of the first spin: Plus some blankets and Carhartt jackets for insulation. The honey was a bit crystalized from cold weather, so using our collective beekeeper ingenuity, we employed a chick incubator, a heating pad, and a hair dryer to warm the honeycomb overnight before we got started. My beekeeper friends MaryEllen and Aaron came over to give it a test whirl. The Honey Bus is an unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual. She was five years old, her parents had recently split and suddenly she found herself in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus in the yard. It’s the Italian-made Lega 28-frame radial extractor – so intelligently designed, the only honey spinner I could find that GOES IN REVERSE! The motor is underneath, so it doesn’t get sticky with honey, and the basin is convex, so it pours down through a down-spout that is actually tilted downward. An extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather, and one of natures most mysterious and beguiling creatures: the honeybee. Meredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. This new machine makes my heart go pitter-pat.
