Now that the honey has been extracted; it will sit in that 5 gallon bucket for 12-24 hours, to settle. While this warm and strained honey is sitting in the tank, the air bubbles and bits of wax will end up at the surface. It is then easy to remove them before bottling. We had to keep a portable heather on all night next to the bucket because the night was going to be cooler than expected. Finally, we could put our honey into little jars. In our kitchen, we filled 36-4 oz jars, and 32-12 oz jars. We used a kitchen scale to make sure that every jar had the perfect amount!
Our First Jar! Ben at work :)
This is our 2010 "loot"
