So I made this trip to Texas ths weekend. Went to Dadant in Paris and picked up some stuff. (I think I'm through with Dadant but that's another story).
Then drove on down to Klondike to the mother of one of my wife's friends. (She was so nice and hospitable. She made us an awesome lunch.)
The real reason of the trip though was to buy an extractor from her. Her husband was a keep, and he passed about six years ago. She had two Dadant extractors, one two frame and one four frame! She said she was hoping to get $250-$300. I paid her $300 and we were both happy.
It was definetly worth the 3-1/2 hour drive down there. She also through in a few other things to. An old helmet, and veils, and frame tool, and stuff I'll have to go through. I would post pics of the extractors if I knew how. I can't wait to use it, but with the wet weather we have been having its seems the bees are taking a long time capping the honey, but it should be soon!
