I've read mixed reviews on the Honey Gates. Do you have a particular recommendation? The yellow one on Amazon was not highly rated, comments that it leaked and was flimsy.

I'm not sure if they have that labeling on them, but I'm still alive and well:) You could also use cheese cloth if you have concerns about the paint strainers. Hope this helps. Thanks for checking out the video and best of luck!
@@joelydic I've been using cheesecloth for about 10 years now. I was just wondering if you knew something I don't! Thanks. I don't know how much your paint strainer costs, but a food-safe pail filter only costs $4. If I were passing $250 worth of honey through a strainer, I would probably spring that much for it just to be on the safe side, after all, other people are going to be consuming that honey too: www.mannlakeltd.com/shop-all-categories/extraction-bottling/honey-bottling/bottling-equipment-and-supplies/5-gallon-pail-filter-extra-fine
Thanks Joe! I just had my first harvest and did it the old way... I'll need to make one of these bucket strainers! th-cam.com/video/qfhOU84rN_s/w-d-xo.html
Thanks William! It looks like your first honey harvest went well. This bucket system is really easy to make and it will definitely make it much easier the next time you harvest. Cheers!
Nice 👍
Thank you. :)
Happy to help! Thanks for checking out the video!

I actually just went with the yellow ones from amazon:) They're been good thus far and have lasted 5 years now. Hope that helps and good luck!
Nicely done. $10-15, true -- so long as you can lend me your power tools.
Ha ha. True:) Good luck and thanks for watching.

Are the paint strainers food safe?
