Honey Settling Tank
The Settling Tanks Store Honey!
Our view is you should only invest in a settling tank if you have more than 5 beehives which are established! By established, we mean hives are ready to be honey harvested!
Beekeeping can make you some serious income
This Honey Settling tank is designed to accommodate 200kg of raw honey while it stores the harvested honeycomb.
Raw honey should be allowed to settle so that impurities rise to the surface so they can be skimmed from the surface before you bottle and need to open the honey gate tap and empty the unit. The honey gate tap is included in the price.
The honey settling tank includes the airtight lid which has 3 pressure clamps built-in. Theses honey settling tanks are stainless steel and come in 100kg and 200kg capacity.
“As you sent the 6-frame extractor by courier we got it 3 days later & I used it the same day to extract our honey in the frames! It worked wonders and thanks so much! It was totally worth the investment!
I test drove the extractor this weekend, brilliant:)
My first robbing already covered more than half the cost of my extractor :))“
Get involved with keeping bees with the most focus directed at purchasing beehives and trap boxes. The more productive honeybee colonies you have the more raw honey you harvest.
For every productive mature beehive you have, you should harvest an average of 15Kg after a nectar flow. You can chase nectar flows across the provinces and achieve multiple nectar flow harvests.
Nonetheless, at an average wholesale price of R90/kg of raw filtered honey, it would take you 30Kg of wholesale units to reach the critical point at which your honey extractor would be paid for in honey harvesting.
This translates into a minimum of 2 bee hive’s entire harvest funding the cost of the settling tank.
30kg / 15Kg per box = 2]
