When was the first honey extractor constructed?

The first honey extractor was constructed in 1865, marking a significant advancement in beekeeping technology. This invention allowed beekeepers to efficiently harvest honey without destroying the bees' combs, which ultimately contributed to better honey production practices. By utilizing a centrifugal force mechanism to spin honey out of the combs, beekeepers could collect honey while leaving the comb intact for future use by the bees. This innovation greatly improved the sustainability of beekeeping and revolutionized the way honey was harvested, leading to an increase in both the volume and quality of honey produced. The year 1865 is thus pivotal in the history of beekeeping, as it introduced a method that is still widely used today.
