Honey Processing & Bottling
After uncapping and extracting, the honey still needs to be settled, strained, and bottled cleanly. We carry bottling buckets with honey gates, deluxe bottling kits with strainer screens included, uncapping tub kits, refractometers for verifying moisture before bottling (most domestic honey needs to test below 18.6% to avoid fermentation in the jar), and the small accessories that turn a messy harvest into a clean retail product. We carry strainer screens — not filters — so your honey keeps its pollen and the natural character that makes it traceable to your apiary.
