The beekeeper has only to grasp the frame once to bring the frame from the super to the extractor. Both sides of the frame are uncapped at the same time. All other methods of uncapping require re-positioning the frame and hands multiple times during the uncapping process. All other ways waste time processing every frame. \u003cstrong class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-1n c1-1o c1-b c1-9n c1-3m c1-4o c1-9o\"\u003eWe uncap and load our 30 frame extractor in just under 5 minutes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-7l c1-7m c1-b c1-c c1-d c1-e c1-f c1-g\"\u003e The uncapper is designed to work with all sizes of Langstroth frames, including shallows, mediums and deeps.\u003cbr\u003eSome other advantages are:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-7l c1-7m c1-b c1-c c1-d c1-e c1-f c1-g\"\u003eThere is no heat, electricity or sharp edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-7l c1-7m c1-b c1-c c1-d c1-e c1-f c1-g\"\u003eWax waste is minimal, saving your bees the time it takes to rebuild the frame.

I do use it on old\/brood comb that has been filled. In stubborn\/dark\/old\/skinny frames, I have found that holding the frame at an angle during the uncapping process helps by applying more pressure to the comb than would normally be exerted by the device alone.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x-el x-el-span c1-7l c1-7m c1-b c1-c c1-d c1-e c1-f c1-g\"\u003e3.
