Honey extractor
A honey extractor is a mechanical device to extract the honey from the beeswax or honey comb. It typically works by centrifugal force, spinning the honey out from the honey comb. With this method the wax comb stays intact within a frame and can be reused by the bees.
Some hobbyist beekeepers and beekeepers in developing countries, especially keepers of top-bar hives, cut the whole honey comb out of the beehive. Some put the honey comb into a honey press to squeeze out the honey.
