Hi,

 

I harvest honey exclusively from “cut comb” in medium frames.  I take wide mouth quart jars and put the comb into it; one medium frame does about 4 jars.  I then need honey to fill the jar so I’ve been just using my hands to squish the honey out of some additional comb, then let it drip overnight using a colander.  From there, the bees clean everything up. 

 

My question is, is there a device for squishing honey comb to get the honey separated from the wax?

 

Thanks….
