Frankly, this looks more like an advertisement than a report about technology.

Nothing much new here. Move along.

I have one super's worth of this (bought just the guts and built my own box) and I'm not disappointed; it works!! with a few caveats --there's a little bit of a learning curve to it: 1.USE AN EXCLUDER!!!! (I can't stress this enough) and 2. don't just crack the cells all the way open when you go to extract; start with a 1/4 turn, wait 10-15 minutes or so and then give it another 1/4 turn or it'll dump honey into the brooders. Other than that, can't complain. This thing is NOT CHEAP and I'm not really in the market for a second hive but if prices come down I'd definitely get another one--no smoking, no suiting up, and the honey goes right into the jar. Oh, also, make sure your fit tolerances are tight on the extraction end of your box or you WILL get a face-full of bees when you pull the access panels.
