        Hello Eugene
        Ken Lawrence here about 25 miles north of Kansas city Mo.
        I would suggest using a clean pair of ladies nylons.  You could run it
thru some other cloth that is a bit courser and then thru the nylons.
Sheer curtains work good also.
        I am running 37 hives and extracted 3850 off 31 hives this year.  Very
good year here in Missouri.
        If I can help please feel free to ask.
        I have had bees since 1971 and it is the best hobby.
