    That's a great setup for a commercial outfit. For smaller outfits i suggest a heat gun for metal queen excluders.

    Great idea! I’ve used steam and boiling in a 55 gal drum over a fire. Both worked very well. I’ve never heard of adding live steam to the extractor. I guess it doesn’t raise the moisture that much? Thanks for the video!

      I find the water bath leaves a coating of wax that encourages the bees to re-fill the excluders with wax.

    Mr Phil. Would putting them on a rack over small fire pit work without damaging the excluders?

      I once bought excluders which I later learned had been overheated. The wires were all warped and let the queens through. Don’t make that mistake.

    wow! that would probably also work for cleaning old frames with brood comb.

    Hi Phil. Could you comment a link to the steam generator? I might build one as well
