Stop faffing and get a 3 or 4 frame stainless radial. Sell 2 supers of honey and its paid for. If the honey is theirs then you don't need one do you

As far as selling honey is concerned, you don't have to jar it, which can be a faff both to jar and sell if you sell from the door and people turn up at random times. You should be able to find a buyer for 30lb buckets instead, whether its set or strained it doesn't matter as a beekeeper will be able to deal with it; just jar up a few for yourself with second-hand jam jars and you're done.

Thanks all Il see what Ive ended up with this year and hopefully get a unit ready.

Lastly, this one is same make but a 6 frame one and has legs although no tank below which you could replace with a bucket!! You may even get something "thrown in" if you call??!!
