You don't seem to do anything without a reason...

So why process on the trailer? Is it so it can be cleaned up outside of your shop?

#1 the extractor needs to be anchored to something.

#2 the trailer jack allows me to tilt it rearward to facilitate flow out the valve.

#3 the height is perfect to run it from extractor to strainer bucket to bottle

#4 easy to move to my other shop to pressure wash after use.

I am a bourbon/whiskey afficianado... So I am making a little bourbon infused honey and marking it with special wax stamps.

I have however done two things I didn't want/intend to do: feed syrup (since mid-july) and treat for mites. Felt the feeding was necessary to get them to build out enough frames to store enough food for winter, and rationalized treating for mites to give them a clean/fresh start since I don't know what condition they were in when I got the nuc.
Ensuring the animals under your care are adequately fed and healthy is good animal husbandry.
