Bottling the honey took longer than extracting the honey
from the hives! It was a learning curve and I have a few tips. The best tip is to heat the honey to 60 °C. Otherwise the honey will take forever to flow through the filter material. Muslin was used as the filter material. Before heating the honey it took about 15 minutes for each bottle to fill, after heating only 20 seconds! The photo shows the final product. I bought the bottles at
Cospak. They have all sorts of bottles, jars and containers, normally in bulk supply only. The 20L white container with honey gate I purchased from
Hollander Imports for about $29 ... so who's going to eat the honey?
