Here is a link for a cheaper extractor. Someone from this club was talking about the high cost of them.

Drew,

Were you referring to the Hobby Extractor, or the Deluxe Italian Extractor? If it's the latter, I've read really good stuff about it by users at Beesource. (Can I mention the other forum here?) If I get sucked into this hobby like I think I will, I have my eye on that for next year's harvest.

I'm about to send in my ORSBA membership, and am hoping to join the Portland club--though my bees (shortly followed by yours truly) will be in Columbia County. An extractor isn't in my budget, this season, and I don't plan on having a surplus in my first year, but does the Portland club have one for rent?
