Not real happy with the clarity of the honey so here's what came back to me that an old keeper did, he would buy nylon stockings and filter through them. Off to closest store that had them. What a noticeable difference. Bought the large and stretched nicely over the 5 gal bucket. DW carried them.

All they really use here, and there's plenty, is the resin or sap for propolis. Never saw them interested in the pollen and there is so much of it sometimes blows fog thick.

That’s how it gets here in the spring that’s the main reason we cut them the pollen was so very bad and we all have bad allergies.

I never filtered anything, so just wondering how efficient was the procedure.

Spoiler: Are these the stockings you purchased???

OOOOH YEAH
Run through cheese cloth, double screen. Minute traces of I'm thinking wax, could even be pollen tracked across the comb. Slow filtering through the nylon, so I'm going with your suggestion of pictured hosiery.
