Honey extractor is a mechanical device used in the honey extraction. Frames are placed in a spinning drum, where honey flings out under centrifugal force.
Honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by honey bees in their nests to contain their larvae, honey and pollen.
The inner cover of a beehive protects the frames and inside of a hive, as well as the bees and their products. Inner cover insulates the hive.
Queen excluder is a mesh inside the beehive that allows worker bees to move but prevents the larger queens to access the honey super, so they can only lay eggs in the brood chamber.
Section super of a beehive is a part of a commercial beehive that is used to collect honey. It is filled with frames in which honeycombs are placed. Bees use honeycombs as storageroom.
A veil is a cloth which guards beekeeper's face from bees. It is placed on the hat of a beekeeper, and is usually transparent, so that beekeepers can see what they are doing.
