This basic bottling kit gets honey from your extractor into jars with minimal fuss. It includes a 4-gallon square bucket, a matching lid, and a plastic honey gate with an O-ring — everything needed to start bottling except the strainers.
Key Features
- 4-gallon square bucket — the square shape makes the honey gate easier to tighten and seal than a round bucket
- Pre-drilled hole sized to fit the included honey gate — no measuring or drilling required
- Plastic honey gate with O-ring — screws into the pre-drilled hole for a controlled pour
- #2 food-grade recyclable plastic — safe for long-term contact with honey
- Compatible with standard 2-piece metal or bag honey strainers
Installation Note
The honey gate screws directly into the pre-drilled hole with firm pressure — no additional gasket or hardware needed beyond what's included. Many beekeepers use the top of a frame end bar to get extra leverage when tightening the gate, which helps minimize drips once it's in use.
