A clean sterile cotton towel dampened with cold water will
remove scum and debris from the surface of honey.  Pat it
down and lift it off immediately so the honey does not
absorb moisture.  I prefer to use the dish towel type with
the smooth surface rather than a terry towel.

Although otherwise this seems like a workable idea, my
understanding is
that black plastic -- especially the types used for garbage
handling --
may be unsafe for food use.
