[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 13205, member: 44"] Jasper liked me too much... I was only there for the last of taking off honey and wintering down. Some autumn requeening (they were trying to stay on an 18 month queen replacement rate.) But I remember the wax room, pretty much the same as the one that Cloake's had. I was kind of surprised in Harry's contribution to the wax recovery argument he championed the original-type Robins (manual) press. The ones at Airborne and Cloake's were both air presses, so you could just apply the pressure gradually and steadily. Timing it right meant you got good recovery from one press while unloading then reloading the other. [/QUOTE]
