1) All frames should be brought in a large heavy duty plastic tote WITH A LID THAT FITS or HIVE. . ALL TUBS MUST HAVE A FITTING LID SO THAT THE HONEY FRAMES ARE CONTAINED. TUBS/LIDS MUST NOT BE DAMAGED OR CRACKED. WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANY FRAMES IN GARBAGE BAGS, ICE CHESTS OR COOLERS. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. WE WILL REFUSE YOUR EXTRACTION IF YOU BRING YOUR FRAMES IN OPEN TUBS, CRACKED TUBS, OR WITHOUT LIDS THAT FIT.
This is for health and cleanliness reasons. NO EXCEPTIONS.
​
2) We do a rough strain through two-tiered small and medium gauge strainers to remove wax pieces. Let us know if you don't want it strained. There will be small wax particles in the honey after extraction without straining it--so we recommend straining it. We do not guarantee clarity, color, or taste. WE DO NOT STRAIN THROUGH CHEESECLOTH. NO EXCEPTIONS.
​
3) We are not responsible for broken/damaged frames, tubs, tub lids, buckets, bucket lids, or honey gates. We do our best to be careful with your equipment and get it back to you in the same shape you delivered it. If we find that your bucket is leaking, we will replace it with a new one that you will pay for when you pick up your extracted honey.
​
4) Depending on the schedule, the time to complete an extraction can vary. We try to complete with 2-4 days
We do not guarantee a finish time

5) We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone and/or for any reason. We are NOT responsible for your honey once it leaves the store with you. We are not responsible if your honey leaks or spills once it leaves the store. We are not responsible if your honey crystallizes or ferments. We do not guarantee a specific quantity/yield weight of spun honey for your extraction. We recommend you jar your honey immediately after extraction in glass containers for best results.
