3 Frame Manual Honey Extractor Stainless Steel – Tangential Honey Spinner
Why use a 3 frame honey extractor?
- Bees take about 8x nectar to build 1x beeswax comb
- When there’s a nectar flow (bees foraging on strong flower bloom) they need space to store it
- By crushing the comb to extract honey, your bees take 3 weeks to rebuild that frame
- By using a honey spinner your bees can refill an entire super chamber within 7-10 days!
- It’s the equivalent of getting 2x honey production over 3-weeks by extracting with a spinner versus crushing comb
The unit is rather wide and based on the centrifugal design using tangential force out to the edge.
The unit takes 3 frames of either brood or super frame sizes.
These units are available via courier. They can be collected in Centurion @ Bee WARE Retail or a courier will be required at additional cost to the customer. Our experience is that this unit carries a courier fee of about R350 estimated using freight services.

Harvesting your own honey is one of the most exciting parts of beekeeping.
But without the right equipment, honey extraction can quickly become:
❌ Messy
❌ Slow
❌ Frustrating
❌ Sticky and exhausting
That is why every beekeeper eventually needs a reliable honey extractor.
This 3 Frame Manual Stainless Steel Honey Extractor is the perfect beginner-friendly honey harvesting solution designed to help you extract honey efficiently while protecting your comb for reuse.
Built as a tangential honey spinner extractor, this unit allows you to spin uncapped honey frames and use centrifugal force to remove honey cleanly from the comb.
The extractor includes:
✔ Stainless steel drum
✔ Manual crank handle
✔ Honey gate tap
✔ Lid
✔ 3 support legs
This complete setup gives beginner beekeepers everything needed to start harvesting honey properly and professionally.
🍯 Why a Honey Extractor Is So Important
Many new beekeepers start by crushing comb to collect honey.
While this works, it creates several problems:
❌ Destroys drawn comb
❌ Wastes bee resources
❌ Slows future honey production
❌ Creates messy honey processing
A honey extractor solves these problems by removing honey while allowing bees to reuse the comb afterward.
This saves bees huge amounts of energy because they do not need to rebuild comb from scratch after every harvest.
The result:
✔ Faster colony recovery
✔ Better honey production
✔ Cleaner extraction
✔ More efficient beekeeping
🚨 The Problem This Product Solves
Without a proper honey extractor:
- Honey harvesting becomes messy
- Frames get destroyed
- Honey yields are lower
- Processing takes longer
- Bees waste energy rebuilding comb
Many beginner beekeepers underestimate how valuable reusable drawn comb becomes over time.
This 3 frame honey extractor helps preserve your comb while dramatically improving honey harvesting efficiency.
🍯 How the Tangential Extractor Works
This extractor uses a tangential spinning system.
After uncapping your honey frames:
- Frames are placed into the basket
- The manual handle spins the frames
- Centrifugal force pulls honey from the comb
- Honey collects inside the drum
- Honey drains out through the honey gate tap
This creates a much cleaner and more efficient extraction process compared to crush-and-strain methods.

…but as colonies grow, extraction quickly becomes:
- Time consuming

A proper extractor transforms honey harvesting into a cleaner, faster, and more rewarding process.

Dori Viljoen (verified owner) –
It is hard to review, because I have not received the product yet after two weeks. The first time I saw this product is on backorder, was when I received the email confirming my purchase and that my order is complete. It was stated in very small print somewhere that the item is on backorder. I sent someone to collect the order was sent back without anything. When asked if they will then deliver, thy said, no. Would have bought the thing from someone else. Not very happy with this situation.
