Wax and air bubbles ALWAYS float to the top of freshly extracted honey. A common mistake for beekeepers with their first honey harvest is to jar honey without letting it sit overnight. If you make this mistake, every jar will have a waxy film on top.
How do you fix this issue? Start by letting your honey sit for 24 to 48 hours. This allows time for all of the skim to float up. This is where this video starts. I’ve let this bucket sit for 24 hours. Then i took a piece of cling film (aka plastic wrap or saran wrap) and used that to clean the top.
Put the plastic wrap on top of the honey and make sure it is in contact with all of the particles. The wax and air bubbles will adhere to the plastic wrap and you can remove it in one quick motion. Have another honey bucket handy so that you have a place to put the cling film. Move confidently and don’t hesitate like i do in this video. What’s left is a beautiful bucket of perfectly clear honey, ready to be bottled.
