Which piece of equipment is NOT typically used for honey extraction?

The vacuum sealer is not typically used for honey extraction, as its primary function is to remove air from plastic bags and seal them for storage, which is unrelated to the process of collecting honey from honeycombs. Honey extraction involves specific equipment designed for separating honey from wax cells, such as an extractor that spins the frames to force honey out through centrifugal force and a honey gate that allows for controlled dispensing of the extracted honey.

Using equipment like the capping tool is essential in the honey extraction process to remove the wax caps sealing the honey in the combs before extraction. Understanding the specific roles of these tools clarifies why a vacuum sealer is not suited for the extraction phase but rather for packaging or storing honey once extracted.
