Results of honey hourglass experiment

The honey in my hourglass device took a full week to filter through to the jar below. Even at that there was still some honey remaining in the wax (more than usual in crush and strain). I added the wax to a large bucket of crush and strain from the same super to allow the rest of the honey to filter.

I don't know what the problem was in the slow speed. I put the jar outside in the heat; I used a cloth paint filter; I crushed the wax well. The web page says not to use cloth like cheese cloth to filter this, but a paint filter is designed to filter paint.

Next year I'll try to find mosquito netting as the web page originator suggested. Posted by Picasa
