In 2026 we will be deploying the Honey Trailer Jawn for extraction.
We are also allowing any member to borrow an at home extraction set up for a nominal fee.
Guild Honey Extraction
- Join! Honey extraction is available to all members.
- We will be publishing extraction dates here – https://phillybeekeepers.org/series/honey-kitchen-open/
The Guild provides everything you need to extract except jars or buckets and jars for the final product.
- Purchase food grade buckets at one of the big box stores.
- Purchase jars from Fillmore Container, Gamber, BeeWorks LLC, or Forest Hill. You can even get them from the mail order suppliers and Amazon. If there is demand for group purchasing we will consider organizing that.
Extraction events
Extraction Committee
We need folks to manage the honey jawn and other extraction activities. Committee members will learn to operate the jawn and will be able to use it in their own apiary at no cost other than consumables (gasoline for generator, filters, etc.) You’ll also have to run one or two open extraction days. This is a great opportunity for folks who have several hives and may have 10 or 75 boxes to extract per season. The jawn really excels at handling 10 – 25 supers in a run. You’ll have to have a vehicle that can tow the jawn and be available for training when we schedule it. Contact Us to let us know that you’re interested.
How it will work
We will have as many open extraction events as we have extraction committee members or demand.
If you are a Hobbyist or Beekeeper member we can bring the jawn to your site. Pricing TBD.
If you are a bee club in PA, NJ, or Delaware and you’re interested in getting the Honey Jawn to your event as an attraction or to extract, please contact us. We are interested in these engagements. Pricing is TBD.
