The TBA is pleased to announce the availability of two portable extracting units for use by Tennessee beekeepers.  You can read the Tennessee Department of Agriculture announcement here.

These units include an automated uncapper, drip tank, a radial extractor, and a storage tank.  The wheeled units come with trailers for easy transportation and are designed to be narrow enough to fit through a standard door opening.
