Hello everyone,
 
I enclose the original posting of this query as the answers
appearing recently on the list concerning straining although
of interest are evolving out of context of the problem.
 
Have you heard of the strainaway system ?  Well, it involves
melting wax comb containing (granulated) honey, ideal for
oil seed rape, but if the combs contain a lot of pollen then
the pollen gets mixed in with honey and its cloudy.
 
No amount of straining through your normal cloths, standing
it in the sunlight, heating, praying or bible quotations
will ever clear this stuff.
 
Now, ... I want clear honey because thats what my customers
want.. so if anyone has come across this type of problem,
then how did you clear your honey?
 
...................
The only logical answer received so far is to filter through
70 micron rated nylon mesh. Looks like your going to win
this one Matt :-)
 
Regards
Philip Earle
