I was curious if anyone around here has tried the newest gadget versus spinning.

From the beekeepers on the other side of the world- the Aussies.

Looks like it is pretty expensive to me. Maybe someone with allot more money has tried it and I am curious to see if it really works.

Something tells me there is more involved than turning a handle or maybe I just like getting stung.

I haven't looked at the literature on this "self tapping" honey super. Is there a way of seeing that frames are capped before cracking the comb so that the water content of what is being tapped is not too high? I haven't had too many seasons where I had fully capped supers. I have removed 7-9 capped sometimes. I don't normally use queen excluders and leave brood frames alone when removing honey. Will they be a necessity with this device?

I look forward to seeing how this develops.

Check out the video near the bottom of the article. The design seems quite brilliant, I just wonder how it will work in practice.
