Product Overview
12-1/4" Stainless Steel Double Honey Strainer
Make honey harvesting faster and cleaner with this premium 12.25-inch Stainless Steel Double Honey Strainer. Designed for beekeepers who want cleaner honey with less effort, this dual-stage filtration system removes wax cappings, bee parts, pollen clumps, and other debris before bottling.
The removable upper strainer features a coarse stainless steel mesh that catches larger particles first, while the lower fine mesh filter removes smaller impurities for cleaner, more attractive honey. This two-stage filtering process helps prevent clogging and keeps honey flowing more efficiently than single-layer strainers.
The adjustable support arms extend from 12 inches to 18.5 inches, allowing the strainer to fit a wide variety of buckets, bottling tanks, settling tanks, and food-grade containers. Built from durable food-grade stainless steel, it resists rust, cleans easily, and provides years of dependable service in the honey house.
Whether you're extracting your first supers or processing honey from dozens of colonies, this double honey strainer is one of the most useful tools for producing beautiful, market-ready honey.

Why Use a Double Honey Strainer?
A double honey strainer filters honey in two stages.
The upper coarse screen removes larger pieces of wax, propolis, and bee parts before they reach the finer lower screen. This greatly reduces clogging while allowing honey to continue flowing smoothly.
Compared to a single-layer strainer, a double strainer requires less cleaning during extraction and produces cleaner honey in less time.
