Yesterday I filtered the last of the raw honey from our hive this summer.
To separate the honey from the wax I put it in the oven at it's lowest setting and
pour it through a paint strainer so all of the filtered honey can sink to the bottom of the bucket.
Overall, it's a slow but rewarding process!
PS- several of you have asked if we'll be selling our honey again this year.
Since we harvested such a small amount {15lbs compared to last year's 60lbs} our sales will be limited.
Consider this the year of our Harvest House "reserve honey!"

It looks beautiful. Gorgeous bottles.
Your honey looks beautiful!! Do you have any more information or a post on how you get the honey from the hive without expensive machines and a centrifuge? I love your simple method and outlook on life
Those bottles are amazeballs.
Yummy! They look great. :)

Super random question, but do you guys sell the beeswax?
I saw a recipe today that made me think of you: http://www.mynewroots.org/site/2014/11/grilled-pumpkin-bread-with-honeycomb/
