Chuck you could try filtering your honey through a fine fabric called Organdy (like bridal gowns are made of) which you can purchase in any fabric store. I used last year for the first time and won a Blue Ribbon at the honey judging of the Long Island Beekeepers Club. I cut a piece larger than the 5 lb pail and clamp it along the edges with clip type clothes pins. Make sure you leave enough of an indentation for the honey to pool. Good luck. Conni Still, Bayport
