    Expanding a beekeeping operation brings new challenges, especially when it comes to processing and bottling honey efficiently. In this episode, Jeff and Becky continue their series on upscaling from hobbyist to sideliner beekeeping with a deep dive into honey house design and equipment. They welcome back John Rath, co-owner of Betterbee, who shares his expertise on selecting the right extractor, uncapping system, and storage solutions to match a growing beekeeping business. John explains the key decisions beekeepers must make when scaling up, from choosing the right equipment to optimizing workflow and managing space. He offers practical advice on warm rooms, sump systems, and the benefits of an extracting line, as well as common pitfalls to avoid when designing a honey house. Whether you’re processing honey in your dining room or considering a dedicated facility, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help beekeepers streamline their extraction process. The conversation covers the importance of planning for long-term growth, ensuring proper power and plumbing, and making strategic investments to save time and labor. John also discusses ways beekeepers can offset costs by offering extraction services to others and shares ideas for efficient bottling and wax processing.
