The process of honey harvesting

Honeycombs with open cells are put into honey extracting machine. “Some people don’t understand while I am still using this old, rusty, hand-operated honey extracting machine” says the beekeeper.  “They suggest me to buy a new, automatic apparatus to make the work easier. But beekeeping is an ancient art; by modernizing the machines, the whole process would lose its charm. And most importantly, there is nothing more meaningful than using the same machine your father once used.”
