    Abstract: A method of extracting honey from a honeybee hive is disclosed, comprising: separating the honey super(s) containing the frames of honey from the remainder of the hive components; placing the entire honey super(s) in an extractor such that the top bar of said frames are closest to the wall of the extractor; and rotating the extractor sufficiently to extract the honey. The frames of honey are plastic fully drawn combs and are not uncapped prior to the rotating step. The honey super(s) is/are rotated 90° from its/their position in the hive. The honey super frames can comprise a unitary integral plastic frame and foundation having a top bar, 2 side bars and a bottom bar with said foundation positioned between all of said bars, said side bars having a width wider than the top bar and bottom bar so as to create bee space, said foundation having hexagonal dimples formed therein, each of said dimples having an integrally formed plastic honeybee egg positioned centrally.
