Does any1 know where i can buy a Honey bee extractor, iv checked ebay n a heap of other online sites, but iv come up with squat.
Im from Australia, so dont have sh*t here like Walmart, so im really stumped..
I dont particuarly care to make 1 as knowing my skill level, it probably would not work.
Any help appreciated.

real easy to make
i used a centrum/pill bottle thing, 1 hole in bottom for gas nozzle to fit in, 9 holes in lid for oil to come out and a bit of chux cloth for a filter.
it does the job

You can make one cheap with a pvc pipe and 2 end caps. I have even used a turkey baster from the grocery store.

cant really compare it to any other method as this is all ive ever tried but it works.
it doesnt hold a real lot but its easy to just do more than one batch if youve got lots of trim.

a hot needle works good, and it makes the hole stronger than if drilled or just punched thru, make the hole about 1-2mm. the butane cans should come with an adapter/nozzle that is wider than the others but with a skinny tip, this one wont push thru the hole like the skinny nozzles can since theres a shoulder to push against.
