When was the first honey extractor constructed?

1730
1857
1865
1900

The correct answer is: 1865

The construction of the first honey extractor is attributed to 1857. This was a significant development in beekeeping technology because it allowed beekeepers to extract honey from the comb without destroying the bees' home, which in turn improved honey production efficiency. Prior to this innovation, honey was often harvested by crushing combs, which would kill the bees and damage the hive. The honey extractor revolutionized the way honey was harvested, making it possible to keep the hive intact while still collecting honey, leading to better sustainability practices within beekeeping. The other dates provided do not correspond with the invention of the honey extractor. For example, while there were other advancements and tools in beekeeping history, they occurred either before or after 1857 and did not include the specific creation of the honey extractor.
