VIVO Stainless Steel Honey Strainer Double Sieve, Bee Keeping Equipment Filter BEE-V101H

Great quality strainer for all that delicious honey to be harvested. It stays nicely in the pail as we spin the honey, and the double screen helps to filter out all the things you don't want in your honey. Quality product, easy to clean and very durable. Works much better than a regular house-hold screener.

This is a very study and well designed sieve. I use it to filter honey from a radial extractor that goes into a container used for bottling honey. Since the extractor often slings parts of comb, this sits on top of the container and filters all honey prior to bottling. The top layer of sieve is more porous and the second level is a finer filter. It catches everything. The expandable arms make it a good sturdy fit on top of whatever container you are using and maintains a relative low profile to get under any kind of honey gate you have. The construction is of good quality stainless. I usually let the bees do the first level of cleaning (leave it by the hive for 24 hours) and then a quick soapy rinse and you are done until next harvest. My only suggestion is that if you are doing more than about 5 gallons (one hive), get two of these -- one for each 5 gallon container. That way when one is full, you can clean the sieve of debris while the other is doing its thing so you dont waste time on your harvest. Rotate back and forth as you clean them out to keep the honey flowing.

I ordered this double seive set to strain the honey following extraction. It worked perfect. The only issue I had was that as wax particles built up in the sieve I had to temporarily stop the flow from the extractor and use a rubber spatula to move some of the wax around the first sieve to keep the honey flowing. This is not a flaw with the sieve and is instead just the way these things work. It fit the bucket perfectly and stained all the particles out of my honey. As far as clean up goes, when I was finished I just set both pieces out in my yard and within a couple hours the bees had cleaned up all residual honey. After that all I needed to do was wash it in some hot soapy water. I would recommend this product to anyone else.

Works great

I used this stainless steel honey strainer to filter my raw honey harvest, and it did a fantastic job. The mesh is fine enough to catch wax and debris without slowing down the flow too much, and the construction feels solid and durable. It fits nicely over my buckets and holds steady during use, which made the whole process smoother. It's decently priced and easy to use. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the cleanup. The fine mesh, while excellent for filtering, can be a bit of a challenge to rinse thoroughly—especially if the honey starts to crystallize. A soak in warm water helps, but it still takes a bit of patience. Overall, this is a high-quality tool that I’d recommend to any beekeeper or honey enthusiast. With just a little extra care during cleaning, it’s a great addition to your honey processing setup.

This strainer did a very good job collecting the cappings and sending honey on through. I like the adjustable arms that fit my bucket well. Cleans up easily.

Love these sieves. They are very sturdy and easy to use/clean. I use these to filter my honey from my hive. Fantastic value. Perfect size for my honey storage bin.

Perfect for what I needed at half the price from Bee Keeping Suppliers. Great honey strainer for those that sell raw honey. Easy to clean and easy to store.

Product good quality, well priced.

Arrived quick and exactly what was expected. Did the job it needed to do to screen my honey. I was reluctant initially because I was sure I would need the 400 micron instead of the larger 650 micron that the fine screen of this one has. But glad I got the 650. Anything smaller than that that gets through, like wax, isn’t noticeable in the honey.

Producto llego en perfecto estado. Muy buena calidad. Ya le utilicé y cumple perfectamente me ha resultado muy útil para dejar limpia la miel. Se observa resistente.

Good

Para la filtración de miel es excelente pero si es más tardado que uno convencional
