Double Sieve Stainless Strainer
Two-tier stainless honey strainer. Coarse upper screen catches wax, fine lower removes particles.
- Coarse upper screen removes large wax pieces and propolis chunks
- Fine lower screen strains out remaining particles for clean honey
- All stainless construction — food safe and dishwasher safe
- Sits over standard 5-gallon buckets and settling tanks
What it is
A two-stage stainless steel honey strainer that fits over a bucket. The top sieve has larger mesh to catch wax cappings and bee parts; the bottom sieve has finer mesh to catch remaining wax fines. Pour uncapped honey through and you get clean honey in the bucket.
Why two stages
A single-sieve strainer clogs quickly — wax cappings plug the mesh, and you spend more time scraping the sieve than straining honey. Two stages let the top sieve handle bulk debris while the bottom sieve polishes. Through-put is much higher, and you don't have to stop to clean mid-batch.
Stainless vs. plastic
Stainless steel doesn't absorb honey flavors, doesn't stain, and cleans up with hot water. Plastic strainers work but discolor over years and can crack. Stainless is the one-time buy.
Usage notes
Pour slowly — forcing honey through the mesh by pressing with a spoon just pushes wax through into the bucket. Patience gets you cleaner honey. Clean in hot soapy water immediately after use; dried honey in the mesh is much harder to remove than fresh.
Compatibility
Fits standard 5-gallon buckets.
