Skip the hand-crank marathon. Our club's Maxant 3100 is a motorized radial extractor that spins nine frames at once, so you can process a full harvest in a fraction of the time — and none of the arm workout. Bought new, in top condition, and reserved exclusively for members.
What you're renting
- 9 medium/shallow frames radially in a single load, or 3 deep frames at a time (deep-frame cartridges available — ask when you book)
- USA-made motor and speed control — smooth ramp-up, no violent starts that blow out comb
- 304 food-grade stainless steel, inside and out — the same drum the pros use
- Leg kit installed, so a 5-gallon bucket slides right underneath for hands-free draining
- Conical bottom with a full-drain outlet — you get nearly every drop out of the drum
Footprint: roughly 20″ × 21″ × 46″ tall with the legs. It'll fit in most kitchens or garages, but plan your space and have a level spot ready.
What you'll need to bring
- Your own uncapped frames (obviously!)
- A 5-gallon food-grade bucket for the honey
- A strainer or filter if you want clean jarred honey
- Clean towels — extracting is a sticky business
Good to know before you book
- Rental is per day. Check the availability calendar below and grab an open date.
- Please return it clean — rinse the drum with warm water and wipe it dry so it's ready for the next member. A cleaning checklist comes with pickup.
- Handle the motor and basket gently; this is shared club equipment we all want to last.

Flavor Profile
Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado's high country, where the air is pure and nature thrives in abundance, our bees embark on a delightful journey, tasting the very essence of this pristine region's generosity.
Buckwheat: A modest, unassuming plant, yet its nectar yields a honey that is robust with a mellow, vanilla undertone. Rich in antioxidants, this unique flavor profile not only stands out but also balances the sugary whispers from the fruit trees, making it a treasured ingredient in our honey blend.
Fruit Trees: The gentle sway of peach, plum, apple, cherry, pear, and the radiant raspberries paint a picture not just for the eyes but for the palate. Each tree and bush, with its distinct blossom, offers the bees a sweet sip. From the tangy apple to the delicate sweetness of cherry and the zesty hint of raspberries, there's a tale in every taste.
Wildflowers: Dancing in the wild are the unsung floral heroes. They impart a subtle but exquisite floral note, gracefully tying together the boldness of buckwheat and the sweetness of the orchards.
Honey Care
Once you receive your honey, here are a few simple tips to help maintain it’s taste and freshness:
Store in a cool, dry place: Keep your honey away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. A kitchen cabinet or pantry is ideal.
Tightly seal the container: Ensure the cork is securely fastened after each use to prevent moisture from entering, which can lead to fermentation.
Avoid introducing contaminates: Always use clean utensils when scooping honey. Refrain from dipping wet or used spoons into the bottle to maintain its purity.
Crystallization is natural: Over time, honey might crystallize, turning thick and grainy. This doesn't mean it's spoiled. To return it to a liquid state, gently warm the bottle in a water bath, making sure not to overheat, as this can degrade its quality.
Remember, honey is one of the few foods that never spoils. With the right care, you can enjoy its sweetness for years to come!
