With a coarse 600-micron mesh, this filter effectively strains out pieces of wax, comb, propolis, and bees while allowing honey to flow through quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis strainer is sized to fit inside a standard 5-gallon bucket and is commonly used beneath an extractor as honey drains directly into the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/4-25-gallon-square-bucket-and-lid\"\u003ebucket\u003c\/a\u003e. The plastic construction is lightweight, durable, and easy to clean between uses, making it a practical tool for routine honey harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its coarse mesh size, this filter does \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e remove \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fresh-bee-pollen-irondale-alabama\"\u003epollen\u003c\/a\u003e from honey. All natural pollen granules pass through the screen, preserving the honey's original characteristics. This makes it well suited for beekeepers who want to strain debris without altering the natural composition of their honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor beekeepers harvesting larger quantities—such as 20 or more frames—using two filters can be helpful. One filter can be in use while the other is cleaned, allowing for continuous straining without slowing the harvest process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo read more about this, \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/honey\/does-filtering-or-straining-honey-remove-pollen-from-honey\"\u003evisit our blog on filtering pollen\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee our entire collection of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/honey-harvesting-supplies\"\u003eHarvesting and Bottling\u003c\/a\u003e products.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxhound Bee Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51313251745828,"sku":"600MicronFilterBucket","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/3914\/1924\/files\/600-Micron-Filter-Basket-Course-Foxhound-Bee-Company.png?v=1787854329","url":"https:\/\/www.growitdepot.com\/products\/600-micron-filter-basket-course","provider":"Grow It Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
