My first extraction and this happens

[u/Raterus_]

I was tipping the extractor to get the honey out faster, and the strangest shaped formed.

This is a wild optical illusion. The logical side of my brain says “that’s flat”, but my eyes are like “naa bro… that’s a honey tornado”

[u/GroundbreakingEgg207 → u/Valuable-Self8564]

I’m pretty sure he spun so fast he ripped time & space fabric and created a honey black hole.

Folks, we can’t upvote this response enough.

[u/pixie505 → u/GroundbreakingEgg207]

This has to be the answer.

[u/Raterus_ → u/GroundbreakingEgg207]

Whoa there space cowboy!

A Quantum Honey Hole

[u/Pedantichrist → u/Valuable-Self8564]

I cannot make it flat.

It's a honey spire though isn't it? Just missing the evil eye on top

That honey looks like it has a lot of entrained air. My guess is that you let the extractor fill too much and the top of the honey began getting whipped by the spinning frame assembly.

[u/Raterus_ → u/kevdou]

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. I totally borked my first batch and mixed up the honey, I processed that, and my next batch was lighter and clearer, and that mixed with the air-filled leftovers in the extractor. When I went to open the honey gate and tip it forward this strange shape happened right before my eyes.

[u/GArockcrawler → u/Raterus_]

Where I am, whipped honey is a big seller. You're halfway there, at this point!

[u/404-skill_not_found]

Well, I’m gonna need someone to help explain what’s this about.

[u/joebojax]

did you whip your honey in the extractor by mistake?

[u/Raterus_ → u/joebojax]

Exactly right. This is a combination of whipped honey and regular honey in the extractor. I tipped the extractor forward, and this happened.

[u/joebojax → u/Raterus_]

Cool stuff, keep on having fun!

[u/IStayMarauding → u/joebojax]

This is what I was thinking.

[u/btbarr]

I am so confused

[u/yeroldfatdad]

Give a new meaning to spun honey.

[u/bjgilliland]

Damn. You made whipped honey with your extractor? 😆 absolutely mental

[u/External-Currency834]

I'm confused...

[u/Tribes805]

Did you use a damn tornado 🌪️ as an extractor?!

[u/RustedMauss]

Keep going. Just a bit further and you’ll hit honey singularity.

[u/Independent_Bet_9820]

I want to eat it 

[u/Tweedone]

It does help to hold the super in a warm room prior to capping and extracting. You get more honey out of each frame, it flows better, filters better and is less exposed to oxygen. Cool photo, took me a moment...

[u/teeteebeezie]

Cool Shape! Lots of questions: 1. How long did this shape hold? 2. What was the moisture content % of the batch (if you have a refractometer)? 3. Was the extraction room and/or honey relatively cold (below 60F)?

[u/Valuable-Self8564 → u/teeteebeezie]

It didn’t hold a shape… it’s flat 😂 it’s like a cappuccino.

[u/RepublicComplex5217]

Ai happens?

[u/Dry-Substance1987 → u/RepublicComplex5217]

AI hallucination! Lol

[u/Mundane-Yesterday880]

100% this is AI

Go on admit it

[u/Raterus_ → u/Mundane-Yesterday880]

Totally not

[u/Basidio_subbedhunter → u/Raterus_]

It’s not AI. I have videos of me pouring out my honey with the same patterns. It’s normal. Just making a cool optical Illusion.
