That's true. Or sell it as cut comb instead of chunk honey. Not sure how those prices run, but it might save some effort with the processing. Just an idea. There are attachments you can get that will hook onto a bucket and hold a frame to drain it.
______WalterYou never can tell with bees. ~ Winnie-the-PoohThe cut comb is unwired comb so the extractor would destroy it, would it not? Am I missing something? Along the lines of your suggestion, I was thinking I could use a scratcher to uncap and just gravity drain from each side of a frame, then save the comb?

Why not use a honey extractor and save the comb?

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….
