Plastic Uncapping Tub

A plastic uncapping tub is an essential piece of equipment for any beekeeper who wants to extract their own honey or carry up to 9 frames. It is a durable and easy-to-clean tub that is designed to hold uncapped honey frames.

They have a honey gate, so you can easily control the flow of honey.

Benefits of use

• Durability: Made of durable plastic that can withstand the rigors of beekeeping. They are also resistant to rust and corrosion.
• Easy to clean: Simply rinse with water and soap after each use.
• Affordability: Plastic uncapping tubs are relatively affordable, making them a good option for beekeepers on a budget.

How to use

1. Place the tub on a level surface.
2. Place a bucket or jar under the honey gate.
3. Place your uncapped frames in the tub.
4. Use an uncapping knife to remove the wax cappings from the frames.
5. The honey will flow through the honey gate and into the bucket.
6. Once all of the frames have been uncapped, open the honey gate and drain the honey into a storage container.

Tips for use

• Make sure that the tub is level before placing any frames in it. This will help to prevent the honey from spilling.
• Do not overload the tub. If you overload the tub, it will be difficult to remove the frames and the honey may not be extracted properly.
• Use an uncapping knife that is sharp and clean. This will help to prevent the honey from being contaminated.
• Be careful when opening the honey gate. If you open the gate too quickly, the honey may splash out.
