Our experience is that honey cleared from wax by spinners has higher than 
normal amounts of pollen. 

I have always tought that the reason is not so much the spinner itself but the 
the mixing before spinnig. Cappings + pollen that is cut while uncapping must 
be mixed to honey to make the spinner work ok. This mixes lot of pollen into 
honey and spinner is not cathing that back.

A persong looking for pollen in honey estimated that there is about 5 times 
more pollen in honey coming from spinners.
