Glad you got a laugh Cindi, you were meant to! The hardest thing on the net is to be humourous in a serious forum I find. Unless you are very blatant which is boring ;)
Its funny how the dogs dont like honey. I suspect they associate it with the bees that are annoyingly taking up much needed fence barking space down the back.
Michael, I dont understand how an extractor could be as bad as the hand job. In go the frames, turn like blazes, flip frames, turn like blazes, ooh look, honey in the bottom. Repeat several timies, run off through filter, pour in big honey pot drink a beer, look at honey pot, close shed door job done.
No pots, pans, bowl jars, sieves, cloths. No wax over everything, no honey clothes, floor, bench, walls, carpet, light switches, taps. No washing all of the above leading to a thin film of wax over everything.
Cmon mick, you were pulling my leg werntcha :-D
