Offices
 |
| Main Hallway - Freezers for experiments - to lab rooms |
 |
| Observation hives room. The bees cannot see red. So a red light is dark to them |
 |
| Work shop / Woodworking Tools |
 |
| Hot room for honey supers before extracting. Heated floor with dehumidifier on the wall |
 |
| 40 frame Tangential Extractor. This type of extractor is very efficient. The extractor turns for only five minutes per cycle. A radial extractor by contrast, uses around a 15 minute cycle. |
 |
| The honey leaves the extractor and flows into a clarifier that is below the floor. From the clarifier the honey is pumped through a bag filter, then into the honey bulk tank. |
 | |
| The bulk tank is piped to an E-Z Fill automatic bottler. This bottler fills a wide variety of bottle sizes. The E-Z fill can be set to fill any size bottle, filling the bottle precisely to the correct weight. The other tank to the rear of the pic is a wax melter. |
