I have used nylon "ankle high" panty hose (new of course) to filter the
honey as it comes out of the extractor. This helps reduce the "stuff"
that I filter out of the honey prior to bottling. I simply secure the
"ankle highs" to the spigot on the extractor and let the honey filter
into a five gallon bucket. I keep a corander just above the bucket to
keep the "filter out of the honey. There is generally a lot of wax in
my honey. I use the fork to do most of the uncapping which leaves a lot
of wax particles. When the filters are full, I place them in a
container with the rest of the cappings to let the remaining honey drain
out. It all then goes into the solar wax melter .
Nylon hose may not be the best filter, but it is extremely cost
effective and I use the fine particles suspended in the honey as a
marketing tool. I don't use any heat in the process. This slows things
down but my customers claim that I have the best honey they have ever
had.
