I have a small extractor and let the honey flow into a large jar, then heat some to get the honey to flow through a cheese cloth into pint jars that have been boiled clean and dried. My honey is very thick and flavorful, but at the top of the pint jars are small air bubbles<< We let our honey sit in a bottling tank for a few days. The honey is so thick that air bubbles, dead bees, pieces of wax and whatever else gets into the honey floats to the top. We skim all that off and then bottle. Bottles seem to be free of everthing except honey using this method. No heat is required saving energy and you don't have to do as much work other than cleaning the honey tank. Besides, you have the added advantage of labeling your honey raw if you don't heat it. Of course alot of beekeepers who heat their honey still call it raw. I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning. Ted Wout Red Oak, TX, USA
